Windows Xp Rather Than Windows Server 2003?
Is there hosting that use windows xp rather than windows server 2003? What is the advantage of using windows server2003 anyway?
Most of the time I just need to run some programs that need huge bandwidth. If I want to host sites, I'll just use xamp.
I think windows xp license is cheaper.

Windows 2008 Versus Windows 2003 Server
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?

Is Windows 2008 Slower Than Windows 2003
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?

Windows Server 2003 Installation
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.

Windows Server 2003 AD / DNS
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?

Windows Server 2003 - What Edition To Go With
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?

Windows Server 2003 Hacked
At ThePlanet.com, I have a server running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition with Service Pack 2 (build 3790). After several years with no problems, my server was apparently recently hacked. The server has several FrontPage web sites, and each of those sites had the following code inserted into the home page. <iframe width="0" height="0" src="[url] <iframe width="0" height="0" src="[url] <iframe width="0" height="0" src="[url] <iframe width="0" height="0" src="[url] <iframe width="0" height="0" src="[url] <iframe width="0" height="0" src="[url] Which looks like it is intended to benefit "onlyu", who is probably an affiliate of four of the listed sites. I removed the code and changed the password to the server. But a few days later the following code appeared. <iframe height="0" width="0" src=[url] name="I1"></iframe> <iframe height="0" width="0" src=[url] name="I2"></iframe> I changed the password again and removed several users from the list of users in the computer. But a few days later the following code appeared ... <iframe width="0" height="0" src="[url] <iframe width="0" height="0" src=[url] Comparing the three groups of code, I'd say it was done by a human and not some sort of Trojan bot. Does anyone have experience with this particular problem, or general advice about how to deal with it?

Windows 2003 Server Firewall
can anyone recommend firewall software for Windows 2003 Server. I'm aware it has a firewall on board, but this one doesn't allow me to specific access to specific IP address on the server, which are configured on a single adapter. Also, I've looked into IPsec, which is my backup solution if I cannot find a decent firewall. Unfortunately, IPsec is kind of restrictive and not particularly stateful. I'm looking for a simple firewall, which is not too expensive. This is only for one simple server.

Compromised Windows 2003 Server
I have been trying to troubleshoot our Windows 2003 server for weeks, but have made no lead way. The following are the steps they take to breach the server. “They” are able to create an account. Some used usernames they have created are: sysadmin, adm, mssqladm. It is very odd, looking in the event viewer, they just appear to create accounts out of the blue, they don’t even login or attempt to login or anything, all the sudden it says, New Account Created. “They” then change the password of the account they just created. Then “They” assign themselves the following group permissions, ‘Users’, and ‘Administrators’. ** SHAKING MY HEAD ** How the bloody hell do they assign themselves Administrator rights? Then the do a few different actions depending, often times they disabled the windows firewall, and change open ports, other times they simply just logoff, other times, they have placed Trojans horses and other malware in their temporary internet folder under their use folderr. This has been a cat and mouse game for weeks, I catch the new account, and immediately delete it, and check the firewall and enable if needed, then run a full system scan with AVG and Prevx. Sometmies AVG finds Trojans and malware, other times its clears. I have racked my brain, checked all running processes with google, and they are seem legit. I have updated everything in windows via windows update, we are running windows 2003 server SP2. I have looked at the users and groups and everything seems secure. Do you have guys have any idea what is going on? I have feeling something is running internally, which is allowing them to create the accounts. Is there a tool that tracks all currently running processes, and allows you to go look at the logs to see what exactly was running at a certain time?

Frontpage Error On Windows Server 2003
We are having some trouble getting Frontpage to work for a client of us, on a Windows Server 2003 VPS with Plesk. As we have tried reinstalling FP extensions, and can't quite determine if this is a server related or Frontpage (software) related issue, I thought I'd try asking here.. The user is not able to log in using Frontpage. When trying to access www.site.com he gets an error message that "The folder www.site.com is not available. It may be at an unavailable location, password protected or the filename could contain / or ". The error message occurs just after typing the URL into the URL box... he doesn't even get prompted for username or password.

Windows Server 2003 IIS Issues
I 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.

Windows Server 2003 Won't Parse Php
I just installed php on a windows server 2003 machine but php code just shows up as normal text. I've followed the steps outlined here. Then I restarted the server and the files are served as they should, but php code is not parsed. In the troubleshooting section it says to try to add php5isapi.dll as an ISAPI Filter, and so I did, but it still won't work. The question is, do I have to restart the whole machine to test if the ISAPI Filter setting solved the problem, or does an IIS reset suffice? The reason I'm asking instead of trying is that a lot of business critical applications are running on the same machine, so restarting the machine is quite the process.

Even after restarting IIS (Right click on the computer in IIS > All Tasks > Restart IIS) the changes are not reflected. The only way I found out how to update the changes is by restarting the whole server, but this is not pratical. How can I get the edits in php.ini to reflect in my PHP applications without having to restart the whole server?

Windows 2003 Server Service Accounts

I'm using Deerpark Visnetic Firewall (no hardware router), NOD32, Spybot S&D, a keylogger and Process Guardian. I want maximum security. I've already done some registry hacks to prevent some DDOS attacks and ive read about running services under another account, i've created the account and added access for it to run all the system services (via GPO). My problem is that when the computer is rebooted, none of the services start, even though i put the username, password and gave the account full control of the service. Aside from this, any other tips on maximizing security? Im also using WinSSH to secure remote desktop and FTP.
