Hi Robert,
Yes, DNS & DHCP was available pre-service pack 2 on Server 2003 Web edition. Currently, if you bought a new version, latest release with SP2, you wouldn't get DNS & DHCP. This is because Server 2008 Web edition doesn't come with DNS & DHCP, so they stripped it from the last Web edition Server 2003 release. So, if you can find a pre-service pack 2 release you'll get DNS & DHCP. Service pack 2 releases don't have DHCP & DNS. Thanks Microsoft!

I actually have 2 web edition 2003 servers that I use daily as backup name servers. http://homepage.mac.com/ragboy/misc/dns2003.jpg http://homepage.mac.com/ragboy/misc/dhcp2003.jpg -- Robert Garcia President - BigHead Technology VP Application Development - eventpix.com 13653 West Park Dr Magalia, Ca 95954 ph: 530.645.4040 x222 fax: 530.645.4040 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bighead.net/ - http://eventpix.com/ On Feb 12, 2008, at 1:19 PM, Rick Sanders wrote: Windows Server 2003 web edition does not have DNS, DHCP, or Active directory integrated with the web edition: https://msdn.one.microsoft.com/home.aspx?ApplicationID=4E9B12B3-3B2C-4697-98 73-A8D8E5B96364 <https://msdn.one.microsoft.com/home.aspx?ApplicationID=4E9B12B3-3B2C-4697-9 873-A8D8E5B96364&CultureCode=en-us&BenefitDetailGuid=709B8F04-B3EF-4C09-93BA -9E3D645CCDAD&AccessGuid=E705FFBC-97B8-4277-A410-6DBB6609A36F&SourceSystemCo de=XEN&SubscriptionStatus=Active> &CultureCode=en-us&BenefitDetailGuid=709B8F04-B3EF-4C09-93BA-9E3D645CCDAD&Ac cessGuid=E705FFBC-97B8-4277-A410-6DBB6609A36F&SourceSystemCode=XEN&Subscript ionStatus=Active 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.

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?
