I have several windows 2003 web edition servers running, all of them
have both dns and dhcp available to install as a windows component,
among others. I actually have 2 web edition 2003 servers that I use
daily as backup name servers.

Furthermore, the highest version you can go up to id SP2. There is
no R2 for Server 2003 web edition. Microsoft has dropped the web
edition, and is no longer available to purchase. There are still
some copies around that stores and online sellers have in stock, but
the SKU has been discontinued from the major distributors and isn’t
available from Microsoft to purchase.
The editions are going to be:
- Small business Server (no good for web)
- Standard
- Enterprise
- Datacentre
So, you can use Web edition and install third party DNS, and use
your router for DHCP. But if you need Windows DNS advanced features
(delegation, forwarding, recursive lookup) and advanced DHCP (relay
agent, multiple subnets, bootp) then you need standard edition server.

Subject: Witango-Talk: Off Topic Windows 2003 Web Edition
Hello,
Is anyone using this platform? I am trying to get some info on it
and like usual, I am totally confused by any information from
Microsoft.. Does it come with the DNS Server? I am looking to set up
a secondary DNS server with a new machine. Looks like the Web
Edition is the ticket. Do not need domain or domain controller...
just a way to host multiple sites on multiple IPs.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
