Yep. It isn't licensed for web hosting. Regards,

Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Mike Gill [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, February 25, 2011 5:00 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Windows Server Reseller Option Kits I was looking for an inexpensive Windows Server license for hosting a few small websites and running a customer admin panel. Windows Server 2008 Web isn't a horrible price, but Newegg lists Windows Server Foundation 2008 as a Reseller Option Kit for HP for about $250. Other ROK's for various OEM are out there for similar prices. From MS's page on the subject, a Reseller Option Kit appears to just be a more customized OS catered towards a specific brand. I'm assuming this is for driver support. I'm planning on building a fairly generic Intel Atom server and doubt drivers will be an issue. Foundation has what I need and is a great price. Any problems with this thinking? -- Mike Gill ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
