Aug 1, 2009I'm running Windows Server 2003 and I use Symantec End Point Protection v11. I'm not satisfied with it nor am I confident it is the best virus protection software.
What do you suggest for the best protection of a Windows 2003 server?
Is Antivirus Necesarry In Windows Server
Apr 21, 2008Is antivirus necessary in Windows Server with IIS6? I am hosting several web pages and web applications(ASP.NET) on two servers for three years, never have any problem with viruses.
What antivirus would you suggest to use? I have tried AVG and NOD and they are very massive and slow down web applications.
Windows 2008 Versus Windows 2003 Server
May 26, 2009With 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?

Who Not Any Windows Server 2008 VPS
Jul 4, 2008I've started to use Plesk 8.4 on Windows Server 2008 at work, and totally love it. The IIS7-native MS rewrite engine works pretty good. It's a dedicated box.
For my own hosting, I use either shared/reseller or VPS. Looking around, it seems every VPS is still on Windows Server 2003 and IIS6.
I took a look at the Parallels site, but came up empty. Is Server 2008 not supported by Virtuozzo yet? Is that what everybody's waiting for? If that's the case, any news/rumors on when it may be supported? IIS7 is a huge leap over IIS6, in terms of PHP and the Rewrite (plus a few other things, though not as important to me).
Too bad IIS7 won't be on Server 2003.
Windows 2008 Server

Windows Server 2008
Jul 15, 2008With Windows client OS (e.g. Vista), it's always good practice to hold upgrading till the first service pack comes out. How true is this for Windows Server software? We're going to upgrade some Windows servers and would like to know if we should stick to Win Server 2003 or go ahead and get 2008?

Nov 1, 2007So Windows Server 2008 will be here soon
Quote:
On February 27, 2008, Microsoft will jointly release Windows Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008, kicking off what it calls a "launch wave" with hundreds of events worldwide. Microsoft will pitch the products as a platform for next-generation Web service applications.
Windows Server 2008 is still expected to be released to manufacturing before the end of the year, with November as the rumored timeframe. Microsoft took a similar tack with Windows Vista, making it available to businesses in November before its public launch in late January.

What do you think this means to hosts offering windows servers?
Will they start offering Server2008 in november as the rumor goes, or only in February when it'll be officially launched?
What about swsoft and virtuozzo. What timeframe do you think they'll need to adapt server 2008 for their virtualization.
Windows Server 2008 - CPU Limits
Oct 28, 2009I'm planning on getting Windows Server 2008 Standard edition, but getting confused on the listings.
Some listings display (1-4 CPU), while others dont have anything in that regards.
So my question is for anyone who has purchased Windows Server 2008 Standard -
Is there a CPU LIMIT?
If so is this for physical # of CPU's?
And will this factor in QuadCores as 4 CPUs?
Cpanel On Windows Server 2008
Apr 13, 2009Do any one have the updates when the Cpanel is going to release its control panel for windows servers 2008, I heard it was supposed to be released in last year but seems yet to come.
View 5 Replies View RelatedPHP On IIS7 And Windows Server 2008
Oct 14, 2009Background: I work for a small microsoft based web dev company who is slowly starting to do more PHP based work. To date we've run these sites (mostly WP) through IIS6 on Windows Server 2003 although this presents problems around mod rewrites etc.
We're at a stage where we can make a decision between upgrading our existing server to IIS7 on Windows Server 2008 which seems to have better support for running PHP and all it entails - OR - getting a Linux box.
As a developer my preference is for the Linux server although the finance department ain't too keen on paying for another server.
Question: Have you experienced any significant problems in hosting PHP on IIS7 on WS 2008 alongside .NET apps? Are there any concrete technical reasons why we shouldn't use this set up?

Windows WEB Server 2008 -stand Alone
Oct 12, 2008I'm working with a local ISP and we're working on getting some windows hosting going (he's been 100% linux thus far). We're trying to ensure that we can host my e-commerce site on Windows Web Server 2008. It seems like it does exactly what we want - we can run a sql exress instance on it and just host the site on that same box. that's all we want to do.
The ISP talked to some sort of Microsoft software reseller who's trying to convince him that Web Server 2008 requires Windows Server 2008 Enterprise (or some other version anyway) implying taht Web Server 2008 is simply an addon type of thing and has to run on top of another OS. Can anyone clear this up definitively?
Also, are there any MAXimum system reqs for Web Server? I seem to remember reading somewhere you could only run 4 CPUs and like 4 gigs of ram or something with Web Server 2008.
Experiences Of Windows Server 2008

Leaseweb And Windows Server 2008
Nov 13, 2008I just ordered an Express Server 6 with Windows server 2008 from leaseweb a 3-4 days ago and they have provided me with login information for the server
I can't really connect to it.. I'm using windows XP pro SP3, would this cause any problems? I also have a static ip and all.
It doesn't work from anywhere, not my house nor other places.
I'm guessing leaseweb screwed up on this one right? I have contacted their support but have had no reply in over 2 days.
I used to use leaseweb but I cancelled my subcribtion so I'm guessing the problem is elsewhere.
Windows Server 2008 On PowerEdge 850
Nov 18, 2008I got a Dell PowerEdge 850 a couple of years ago, with a 2.8Ghz P4D processor and 2GB RAM. It's currently on CentOS 4 and running quite well with H-Sphere. I host on it a couple of sites coded in PHP, and sometimes a game server or two.
I'm currently thinking of moving on to Windows Server 2008 as I'm intending to put up a web app using ASP.Net. As you can see, my system isn't really a beefy machine, and I was wondering if I would be able to run the new OS on it and continue to be able to achieve a satisfactory performance?
Windows Server 2008 S.M.A.R.T Monitor
May 6, 2008in the direction of a S.M.A.R.T client for Windows Server 2008 that matches as many of the following as possible:
- Lightweight
- Free
- Quite good
I'm not looking for one that hooks into explorer or even runs all the time. Something that runs periodically (shceduled task) and polls information, mailing / popping up an alert if it finds a problem.
Basically something like the smartmontools for Linux / unix.

Windows Server 2008 Task Scheduler
Mar 30, 2009I have a daily task scheduled to run a .bat file which basically runs a query and sends some email reports. My coding is in PHP. The bat file and script works fine when run manually however when I set it up to run in the task scheduler it says it runs but it does not.
The result returns this code (0xFF).
Does anyone know how to get this running successfully?
Windows Server 2008, Can't Copy Files
May 31, 2009I rent windows dedicated server for just about a month, but I never had problem.
When I copy files on my home computer and then paste them onto server's drive, files begin copying, but after some time they stop copying and I hear double beep sound.
Time after which they stop copying is random.
WIndows Server 2008 VPS Setup Considerations
May 29, 2009I've just purchased a Windows Server 2008 VPS plan with a hosting provider. With that I have needed to open up several ports - 21 (FTP), 25 & 110 (Mail) on Windows Firewall.
My first question is about security on those ports. So far I've just opened them in Windows Firewall and that's it. Is there anything in particular I should consider to keep those ports secure?
I've also had to install a mail server. So far I've installed the standard version of MailEnable and have it running fine. The problem I see is that the standard version has no spam filtering and no virus checking.
So I did some more looking into all this and found SmarterMail, the free version. The thing that gives this potential comes straight off their site... "SmarterTools understand what it is like to be part of a growing company. Budgets are tight, and often money is not available for software expenses.". This is exatly where I'm at, a small business with no software budget, at least not for now.
After looking into it, it appears as though we would have to pay for spam/virus protection when using MailEnable, because this is for commercial use (Maybe there's some free spam/vrus software for MailEnasble I'm not aware of), but we would have that included with SmarterMail. As an added note, this VPS facility is for a single domain and I realise that SmarterMail only allows for 10 accounts, but we can live with that for now.
Does anyone have real world experince using MailEnable vs. SmarterMail in this kind of scenraio? If so, from experience, what do you think is the best option?
Windows 2008 Permissions And Filezilla Server
Jun 26, 2009I'm running FileZilla Server on Windows Server 2008 Web Edition SP2. Everything works fine but I need to figure out how to make FileZilla set permissions on a file after its uploaded.
What is happening when I upload a file to the web server using through FileZilla Server the only permissions set on the file are for
SYSTEM
admin
Administrators
So when I try to access the file through a website I get a 401 - Unauthorized error and I have to go through and manually set the permissions every time on the server.
I need to find out how to make FileZilla setup the correct permissions on the file for the IIS user. Any help would be appreciated.
My Sever setup
DotNetPanel
IIS 7.0
Windows Server 2008 Web Edition

Windows 2008 Server + Plesk: Security
Jun 17, 2009I would like to setup a new dedicated server with the following:
- Windows Server Standard 2008 64bit Edition
- Plesk control panel
Questions:
Anyone know of a thorough tutorial on securing/optimizing a Windows 2008 server (even with Plesk) for a shared hosting environment?
Other?'s:
Considering Plesk's rip-off pricing, any free and quality alternatives to their products?
- plesk dr.web antivirus
- acronis trueimage backup
- plesk powerpack (I guess $24.99/mo lease isn't too horrible)
I basically want to replicate a Cpanel shared/reseller hosting environment, but with Plesk since Cpanel for Windows is not yet available and been delayed forever.
