2 out of 5 stars Beware   October 25, 2003
 2 out of 4 found this review helpful

I couldn't get my hands on a copy of Windows 2003 Small Business Server, so I opted for installing Windows 2003 Server on my server. After wiping out Red Hat Linux, and installed without any major problems. After several hours of patching and applying hot fixes (and rebooting), I was up and running.

However, I found 2003 Server unusable for my purposes (thankfully, I got an evaluation copy instead of the full, non-refundable version).

I wanted to make it the primary domain server so I could manage my PC accounts better. I also wanted to make it a file server, email server and web server. Unfortunately that is where the problems started.

Windows 2003 Server cannot be a Primary Domain Controller without Active Directory Services. Active Directory Services cannot run without DNS services. I ended up giving up and going back to Linux and Samba (which will act as an NT4 style PDC).

Yes, 2003 does have a lot of features, but for users who like Win 2k and/or Linux, the benefits may not be worth it.


1 out of 5 stars Not recommended   September 17, 2003

I would stay away from this product! I am running a dual Xeon 2.4 Ghz with 2 gigs of ram and a RAID 5 controller, and can't get the operating system to install, it simply locks up. There is no tech support for this product Microsoft says to go back to were you purchased it for support. Once you break the product seal there are no refunds. SO I am stuck with a $1,200 piece of software that doesn't work and still have to go out and purchase software that does. Your best bet is to not risk $1,200 that is usless.

I have been working with computers since 1978 so I am no amateur to operating systems.

Kent,

Despite what a lot of people are saying, Windows Server 2003 does have a lot of improvements over 2000. 2k3 boasts increased security, new features like shadow copy, a new version of SharePoint (soon), native .NET support, and a new version of IIS.


1 out of 5 stars Stick with WIndows 2000 Server   April 27, 2003
 5 out of 17 found this review helpful

WIth all the Updates WIndows 2000 Server is a stable os and needs no upgrade to a costly new product like 2003 server.
Save your money and stick with what you have.
