IANAL, but the license of Win2k3 Server Web Edition actually is VERY prohibitive of anything like running a game server off it. If it's not web related, it's basically prohibited. For instance, you cannot run MySQL/MSSQL/Oracle off the same box.
So, I wouldn't recommend going around talking about using that on your website for anyone actually running a game hosting service. (Now run SBS 2k3 all you want) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dustin Tuft Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2005 11:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds] Windows Server 2003 web? The web server edition is geared for maxized IIS and SQL services (pending the product version), The attemps I tried with W3K Web edition ended with serval services (including my srcds server) suffering from a lack of CPU cycles even when I attempted to shut down the IIS and the IIS Admin services. I was never able to isolate the root, but it seemed the the NT kurnel would simply ingore any service and let it fall a sleep execpt the web related and server management services (Terminal service and what not). Hope that helps. I don't belive there are any rules (license abuse) against DCPROMO'ing a Windows server, any Windows 2000+ server can be part of a DC Tree even a server decated to web services.
