if there are any major differences between administrating a standard networked Win 2003 server, like SBS for example, compared to a 2003 server to be used for webhosting?
I'm fairly nifty on 2003 and have a colleague is is well clued up on it and Windows may be an option as an additional server for us other than linux so wanted to look into the support aspect of using it.
Most people probably run Linux on their media servers, but since I don't know much about Linux and the media server we have is unmanaged, I was wondering how you guys feel about running Windows Server 2003 Std on a media server instead of Linux. We'll only be using the server to host Flash video files (.flv) and we'll be serving those vids on websites hosted on other servers, resulting in approx. 50,000-100,000 media views per day (filesizes range from approx. 5MB to 10MB). We don't want to run Windows Media Services, just a Web server (IIS6) and have the Flash video players on the external websites take care of the streaming/downloading part.

in IIS i've set up a new site and in host header value i've put test6.shane.com.
everything works great on the server. when i type in [url]in the browser the page comes up without any problems. however when i do the same thing on the other workstations it pulls up the page some some other page from the internet and not my LAN as if it wasn't connecting to the primary DNS (which i changed to my server's ip 192.168.1.2).
what am i doing wrong? why does it work on the server but not on any other workstation on my LAN?
I have just recieved a new machine from leaseweb. I have no other machines in any of their datacenters so this may be something specific to there firewall rules.
The machine came with leaseweb dns server entries, they wouldnt resolve any addresses so i changed them to openDNS addresses for the time being (208.67.222.222 / 208.67.222.220)
These DNS servers I know to work, however they still fail to resolve addresses either by nslookup or through a browser. (DNS Request Timed Out)
the server can ping the opendns addresses.
I have verified that the DNS Client service is started.
I dont know of any dependancies of the DNS client service - although I have noticed that leaseweb disable a lot of services on their default install. - Could it be a service that isnt started thats stopping DNS from resolving?
I dont want to configure the Microsoft DNS server on this machine although I will if neccesary.
My client have a windows 2003 Sever, we install xampp there to run his site because he gave us hosting information late on and we done all his work in mysql php,
so every thing is working but the main problem is this that queries are not going through email.
i don't know how can i set his mail setting.
I want to install the application (if it is an application) on my Win 2003 dedicated so I can run PHP scripts.
If I go to this page:
[url]
there are a number of files, not sure which one I should download. Once downloaded, where do I put it, in Program Files? Is there an .exe file or something I should double click on to install it? Or id this supposed to be install on IIS?
I have a server running windows server 2003, IIS. I have a password protected folder where i have a coldfusion script. I'm trying to write a Batch Script that will run the coldfusion script but the Password Protected folder is giving me problems. I'm using Integrated Authentication on that folder.
anyone know how to write a .BAT script that will load the script and also pass the u/p to that folder so the script can be run?
This is my first dedicated and I am plugging away at it.I am running windows server 2003 web edition and I have my database, website, and ftp setup and everything is working so far. Now if you go to 66.96.196.102 my site that I'm working on will show up. My question is my domain and site that I am in the process of moving is hosted on a shared server on 1and1. Now I need that domain to point to that ip. Do I need to set up name servers on the server? If so can someone point me in th right direction.

We have two Windows Server 2003 machines as active directory controllers and DNS servers for our in-house operations. For our purposes, let's say the domain name is example.com.
Both servers have DNS, and example.com is stored in Active Directory to allow us to use the benefits this provides. Our issue is probably simple, but I'm not sure how to fix it.
Let's call server one EX1, and server two EX2. These have local IPs of 192.168.1.111 and 192.168.1.112, respectively.
We want example.com to be resolved to an external IP address (for web hosting), let's say 1.2.3.4. The problem is, the two domain controllers keep registering example.com with their internal IP addresses .111 and .112, so the DNS round-robins between 1.2.3.4 and the two internal servers, which aren't web servers.
Is there a way we can get those DNS controllers to stop registering their internal IPs as example.com?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI yesterday installed VMware Server under Windows Server 2003 x64, Enterprise Edition, and have this morning noticed the message 'Service unavailable' when browsing to a website hosted on the server under IIS.

Does anyone have any experience of this problem and a workaround?

View 14 Replies View RelatedThe past week I've been trying to answer the hardest question. I'm an expert windows user and a Novice Linux user.
I have a server built and ready for an operating system, this will be a development server for database and web development. It will also likely turn into an encrypted file server as well.
I do not plan on doing much else other then that.
Is it worth it to struggle through and learn the Linux command line or should I go for Windows Server something I am more familiar with?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a windows server 2003 server with IIS 6 installed on it. My site runs fine, then all of a sudden becomes VERY slow.
I asked server hosts to take a look at it, and they noticed an IP that is has attempted to connect on port 80 432 times in a few seconds, causing the site to slow down.
Is there any software i can use to try and combat this spam/abuse? I have a trend micro anti-virus and firewall installed on the server. I have blocked that IP, but there is nothing stopping that from changing.
Also, are there any free/cheap server monitoring tools for the server that i can monitor the server remotely with?
The server has SNMP installed and configured according to my server hosts... watever that is.
I have to move my primary DNS server (on Win 2003) from one machine to another.

I work for a big organization that has a check list for standard windows server 2003 installation.
The list includes stuff such as , removing some users and adding some domain users, changing system name, windows update, ie7 installation, adding the system to the domain, installing norton anit virus from file shares and so on.
Is there anyway to auto mate this or atleast everything to do with system settings including windows update ? (Minus norton install)
I am sure one can make an answer file but i am not convinced by that answer as the post installation changes require editing regedit and other local security policies.

I want to open my site on a Windows Server as I'm a lot more familiar with Windows (Having an MCP for Windows Server 2003). I am unsure however what edition to go with. At first I thought Windows Server 2003 Web Edition (Being a website!), but this only supports up to 2gb of ram I believe? and may prove to be an issue if we need to upgrade due to the high demand of online users.
I understand I can have more than one server, but would you recommend another edition?
