dougkinzinger Share Posted March 31, 2003 Dudes, remember, it's a SERVER...if you want it to be your workstation, that's fine, but it's not friggin XP all the way....just remember it is a SERVER! Link to post Share on other sites

no name Share Posted March 31, 2003 it doesnt have the fancy loggon/welcome screen... if you want those fancy lookings and run as a workstation, well windows xp will be good! :) :p Link to post Share on other sites
AndyD Share Posted March 31, 2003 I also read that they disabled some things like theme support, which makes sense. It puzzles me why someone would want to run a server program as their main OS for home use. Only reason why I could see someone running it is if you are studying the program. I know some insist on running 2k because of concerns with stability but it's silly. XP does a good enough of job. Wait for Longhorn Link to post Share on other sites

Just another oppinion w/o looking at the features. I'm personally sick of running IIS from home and having people scream at me they can't connect because of xp's 10 limit concurrent crap. There are valid reasons to use Server Over XP. Learn Them. :D Link to post Share on other sites
epple Share Posted March 31, 2003 is it just me or do you think ms should make like a ws-version of 2003? we have a guide to make one tho.. kind of ws. :) it would rock imo. Link to post Share on other sites
AndyD Share Posted March 31, 2003 Well xStaindx, I'm not talking about people who actually will use the services. I'm talking about those who simply use it because of stability issues (I know plenty who do for this reason alone) when all they do is run office, browse and play games. Obviously, you will need to run Win2k3 if you want to run webservices. Link to post Share on other sites
JnCoKiLLa Share Posted March 31, 2003 is it just me or do you think ms should make like a ws-version of 2003? we have a guide to make one tho.. kind of ws. :)it would rock imo.

jetb2 Share Posted March 31, 2003 (edited) If you already belong to a network which services do you need to stop so that w2k3 server doesn't interrupt your existing network? Can that information be added to the next update of the server -> workstation guide? Thanks. Edited March 31, 2003 by jetb2 Link to post Share on other sites
AJCrowley Esq Share Posted April 1, 2003 :laugh: lol, wait untill winbeta releases the VLK version Then you'll be waiting a long time. The whole point of the VLK system in XP was to allow administrators to deploy XP over thousands of workstations without having to worry about activating each. Since 2003 is server only, there will be no VLKs. Sysadmins will have to activate their copies of Windows Server no matter where they work, which shouldn't really be a problem, given the number of servers that are likely to be running it in any one (even large) enterprise. No matter how much I go over this, nobody seems to listen, so I'll say it one last time - there are, and will be no Volume License Keys coming out for Windows Server 2003.
