Licensing :: Windows 2003 And Exchange Server
Feb 28, 2008
if I have a dedicated server with WS2003, would I be allowed to install my own software (with license)? such as MS SQL Server - I have an MSDN subscription and multiple licenses.... would this be ok to do so?
What about Exchange Server? I have a License for that also...again, MSDN subscription

if anyone has put Windows 2003 x64 on an Atom and installed a very light duty Exchange server on it...
I know the Atoms are not the most powerful thing in the world, but they are a cost effective and energy efficient alternative to past generation hardware.
Since the Atom benchmarks slightly better than a P4, I am wondering how it would hold up with an Exchange server.

There was a black out recently and our UPS didn't kick in properly. The server was turned back on and the workstations logged in the domain controller. When running Outlook I noticed it wasn't receiving any emails. I tried to open an old message and it said:
"Can't open mail"
Also I tried to delete one of the spam messages and it came up with an error some thing like cannot delete and it may be moved some where. Outlook came up with errors like:
Task 'Microsoft Exchange Server' reported error (0x8004010F) : 'The operation failed. An object could not be found.'"
I also noticed some Calender events won't open. I now suspect some thing wrong with Exchange. I googled around and it seem to be related to "Offline Address List" problems. I tried a registry fix:
"Create DWORD "OAL post full if diff fails" CurrentControlSetServicesMSExchangeSAParametersOAL post full if diff fails' and setting it to 1 on this server. When OALGen next generates the offline address list, clients will perform a full OAB download. After that time, the registry key should be removed to prevent further full downloads."
Restarted the server then went to Exchange System Manager, Recepients, Offline Address List and right click on Default Offline Address List then clicked Rebuild. I checked Event Viewer again and saw some error messages:
WARNING: OALGen encountered an error while generating the binpatch.oab file for differential downloads of address list 'Global Address List'. Clients will not be able to incrementally update to the new version of the offline address list, they will perform a full download instead. This is normal if this is the first time this offline address list has been generated. Check other logged events to see if this is a serious error.
- Offline Address List
ERROR: OALGen encountered error 80004005 (internal ID 50303dc) accessing the public folder store while generating the offline address list for address list 'Global Address List'.

2 x ERROR: OALGen encountered an error while generating the changes.oab file for version 2 and 3 differential downloads of address list 'Global Address List'. The offline address list has not been updated so clients will not be able to download the current set of changes. Check other logged events to find the cause of this error.
If the cause of the problem was intentional or cannot be resolved, OALGen can be forced to post a full offline address list by creating the DWORD registry key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesMSExchangeSAParametersOAL post full if diff fails' and setting it to 1 on this server. When OALGen next generates the offline address list, clients will perform a full OAB download. After that time, the registry key should be removed to prevent further full downloads.

Customer wants to move his website in-house along with his email. The hardware guy installed a windows 2003 64-bit exchange server. I logged in with logmein and created a directory c:Inetputwwwroot hewebsite. Copied iisstart.html to the new dir. Put the company name in the iisstart file. Opened IIS6. Went to properties of the default website and pointed to the new directory on the home dir page. Added iisstart.html the Documents page and moved it to the top. Closed everything. Opened Internet Explorer 7 and put in http://localhost. All worked well. Brought up the new start page. Opened IE7 on my pc and put there ip address in and it also brought up the new webpage (tested the port 80 in the router). Said we were ready to go.
The hardware guy sent me an email stating that he was having problems with the 64-bit version and took the server back to the 32-bit version of windows exchange server. I logged back in with logmein and followed the same exact steps as above but it will not show the new webpage. Am getting a page not found error.
I have done the above on several 2003 servers and several xp pro machines. Always works.
Have done one 2003 exchange server. Went to a couple of those servers and made sure the default website settings were exactly the same as the ones that work. Still no help.
Downloaded an iis6 troubleshooting program from microsoft but cannot locate the error. I have been studying the II6 documentation and 2003 exchange server documentation. Went thru all the tutorials in google on iis6 and exchange I can find no help.

I have a client with SBS 2003 and exchange. They had a bad HDD (it held the exchange .edb and .stm files).
I installed the new HDD, configured Exchange to use the new HDD for the files but I did not mount it when it was done because I was in a rush.
I came back into their office first thing in the morning and mounted the volume. However, they did not get any emails during the night.
My question is: The emails that were sent to them, are they gone forever? Did they get bounced back to their senders? If not, can they be recovered?

We've been buying our Microsoft licences retail which was fine when we were a lot smaller. But as we grow I was thinking about the joining the Microsoft services provider licence agreement.
Can anyone out there give me an idea if this is a worthwhile route to take for a managed services webhost? If so what are the requirements, we aren't a Microsoft partner, have no Microsoft certifications, etc.
What are the initial costs? What are the long term costs?

With Windows 2003 server, there are comprehensive lists of what you need to do to secure the server before use. For Windows 2008, I wonder is there such a list? Or is it true as what I heard from Microsoft that it is already secured out of the box?
Anyone has any resources on the hardening or preparation of 2008 for server hosting uses?

how does Windows handle licensing on Virtual Dedicated Servers? Does SPLA licensing cost the same as a full dedicated server?
This would be a VMware server, with multiple Windows virtual servers.

I'm sure this has been covered before, but during my search I didn't find much, maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
Okay, so here's how it goes...
I, and a partner, plan on purchasing a 2U server and we're going to co-locate this server in Chicago. This server will be serving a new gaming company we plan on opening. Now, my main issue is obtaining Windows for this server. I have found plenty of retail CD's with like a 5 CALs included, but that was in the $750-$1000 range, which I understand this is what Windows server really cost, but I believe I could find it cheaper.
Does anyone know the BEST, and preferably the cheapest place to buy Windows Server 2003 (Specifically Standard 64bit - R2) or even an "external" monthly license, if such exist. I am new to the entire Windows Server licensing and pricing stuff, so any information would be very much helpful.

I'm helping one of my clients setup some windows VPS's but we're having some serious confusion as to how the licensing works.
I've read on microsoft.com that they now are far more accepting of virtulization and allow, with a single license, anywhere from 4 to unlimited VPS installs with it.
Now, my question is: Does this count with leased licenses? Say I leased a license from my datacenter (say i did 2k3 STD) for $25/m. Would I then be allowed to install it on however many VPS's allow under MS without issue or how does that exactly work?

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?

Just purchased a Quad Core Xeon Server with 4 gigs of ram and trying to decide if I should run Windows 2003 Standard 32bit or 64bit?
Basically I have a few asp.net 1.1 C# application and I want to make sure they will work properly.
Also does anybody know if Plesk 8.2 supports 64 bit?
Also I would assume and hope Microsoft SQL 2005 Express suppports x64?

The 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?
I've considered VMware although I have "Fake Raid" and ESXi does not see my Raid-1 setup.

I have a windows 2003 server with Plesk installed. It keeps crashing and requires a reboot every couple of days.
Here are screenshots of event logs and task manager.
Also, its a Pentium HT with 1GB memory, so it isn't too slow for Windows.
