Windows 2008 Standard VS Web Edition
Nov 25, 2008
Posted this as an add-on to another question I had in the Tech forum, had no reply, perhaps I posted in the wrong forum. Posting here instead:
I noticed MS has lifted some of the restriction concerning the Web Server edition, it's like half the price of Standard.
I'm mainly going to be hosting a couple of separate web sites, run ASP.Net and PHP, along with some database servers (currently considering SQL Server Express and MySQL).
Email server is being considered, though our load isn't too great, it's just for a couple of friends and myself. We're also intending to run game servers off it (Counter-Strike Source, Call of Duty series, etc.) on occasions.
Would the Web Server edition suffice for these? Or is it still technically limited/has license restrictions, and I will need at least the standard edition?
I may also intend to serve streaming windows Media files.

I am using external DNS server and I am looking to host my site as I am doing now on my home lean and mean win xp. Do I have to use Active Directory and may be the local DNS server to publish my web site? If not why IIS page is accessible but when I run Jboss I cannot get through to my server?

I was trying to bring down license fee for a customer who needed SQL Server on Windows Server.
realised that MS has released a fix to install the SQL Server 2005 on a Windows 2008 Web Edition.[url]
The license fee for the web edition is lower than the standard version.

I have some questions about Windows 2003. I have tested many different Windows VPS hosts and I have noticed that some of them offers Windows 2003 enterprise edition and some offers Datacenter edition. What is the difference between the two?
I remember that godaddy had datacenter ed and the vps I use now (eukhost) is using enterprise edition.

Why Wndows 2008 standard shows its IIS front page only
I am using windows 2008 standard version 64 bits
I am using an external DNS service and using none of Windows roles
I disabled the firewall completely
When I run IIS i can access to its front page from another machine but when I run jboss the browser can't get access to my web site front page! They both use port 80
Does ISS has some sorts of hidden privileges in Micorosoft which is not surprising
I am about to revert back to Windows 2003 if I can't find a solution to this problem. Or do I have use a certain role for remote access?

I was wondering if anyone know how the anon edition is suppose to look? Is it just like a regular edition? From what I read, it is an honor system where you trust the client not to break the license. Am I wrong here? Would there be anything built in to prevent a client from running authenticated softwares? built into the OS itself?

I've been working on a large online browser game for the last year on and off - it's due to open for beta in Oct. This game is coded in PHP/AJAX with MySQL. It's quite heavy on different graphics with characters, items, illustrations etc. It will also have a selection of Flash games to play. Similar gaming sites have more than 1000 users online in peak hours and we estimate that and more within the first 3-5 months of opening.
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?

I have a dedicated server running windows web edition. What is the easiest way to set up a VPN server on this machine so that I can log in to it from my home connection and route all my traffic through my server.
I've found a few guides for setting this up on linux boxes, but not with windows.

I'm sure there is an easy answer to this, and i'm probably being a little lazy, but the google searches i did didn't really help.
As I need to have windows hosting, apart from the price, is there any difference between setting up the server with windows 2003 standard edition and web edition?
I want to run MS SQL and My sql databases, run asp, .Net 2 and php on the server.
I'd also want to connect with RDP which i'm assuming is fine.
Most of the searches seem to talk about the fact that you can't set up active directory,or making it a domain controller but not much else.

I see most of the providers offering Windows 2003 STD license $20-$30 per month. I wonder how is that done, do they buy licenses in bulk and then lease them monthly basis or there is an agreement with Microsoft. I have a few linux boxes colocated and would like to procure Windows licenses on my own. Also how to go for licenses for VPS server?

is there any huge difference between the two?
I'm primarily going to use the server for gaming.
After researching, the only thing I saw was that Web only supports up to 2GB of ram.

Is the R2 just a version with all the upgrades or service packs already updated?
In other words can I use the older copy and just pull the upgrades from micosoft.

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?

Im trying to setup FTP on Windows 2003 Standard. Multiple people will need access, the problem Im having is how do I make it to where certain ftp accounts only have access to certain folders and certain ftp accounts have access to the whole root directory of that folder?
For instance under websitefolder you have a folder called bobsfolder. I want bob to login and just be "jailed" to bobsfolder, but when websitefolderadmin logs in they have access to the root of websitefolder and all its subfolders.

I have to setup a company server over a huge hardware profile made for me:
- 8 cpu
- 16gb RAM
- gbits LAN
- 1 TB of RAID-5 storage bay
The server will be splitted in two server (it's actually a balde running ESX and two guests).
My question is:
- I am better to setup 64 bits or better run the old and stable 32 bits?
I consider this question because:
- I might install Exchange 2007
- I might upgrade to Windows 2008
Out of this, is there known problem/issue with 64 bits Windows 2003 OS?

I've got MSSQL 2005 Enterprise running on Windows 2003 Standard R2 x64. The server has 12GB RAM.
Now, I've been trying to find some way to monitor how much RAM MSSQL takes up, but found two conflicting things.
One source says that MSSQL 2005 Enterprise can only use up to 4GB RAM on Windows Standard R2 x64. Another says Microsoft changed this to 32GB for Windows Standard R2 x64 only (i.e. not x86).
Could anyone confirm either of these? I'd find out myself if I knew how I could see how much it's using (it only shows 90mb in taskmanager).

I'm making a reasonably uninformed comparison here. Since Windows Vista is noted to be more resource intensive and slower than Win XP, are we right in assuming that Windows 2008 is slower than Windows 2003?
For instance, with two boxes with an identical hardware setup but the two different server OSes, will the same application like, say MySQL run slower on the Win 2008 machine?

how to change the default or the master datetime format for Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition.
My problem is as such.
- Have installed Coldfusion 5.0 on a Windows 2003 Server and have configured the part on the Web service extensions.
- One of the coldfusion program/application that is needed to be migrated from another server which is running Windows 2000.
- Encountered problem such as the datetime that is passed to the application when clients view on their workstations is different.
- My program take in dd/MM/yyyy but however it seems like the server is always default to M/d/yyyy or MM/dd/yyyy.
So, how can i change the default setting so that it will apply to the user account IUSR or across all accounts that is used on the server?
