Can I get some help on a report?

« on: December 09, 2007, 08:55:19 PM »

Ok my teacher decided to be a douche bag lol and give us as our final exam a report. Its 10 pages, has to be hand written about Microsoft Servers, like basically use Microsoft Windows 2003 Server as a base, we have to find out all the servers(Active Directory, DNS, ect) that is needed to run a full server for like a company. I went to the MS site and found this http://www.microsoft.com/servers/default.mspx

At the right they have a list of all the servers, does it use all of those or just a few? Thanks in advanced for those that can help me out with that.

I am on my phone so I cant look at the link.. However all that a small business would really need is Windows 2003. The different levels specify different seevices or specialities, ie data center, enterprise, small business, and web server. For a small business... small business is the way to go. As long as Active Directory is used for computer policy/user policy DNS is taken care of. Active Directory requires Dynamic DNS, a MS technology, in order to function.

I have worked with the Enterprise version the most.. Basically you could run a 5-20 client business with web, vpn, Active Directory, and file share/profile management from a single server.. However this is not the best idea for a mulitude of reasons, but it is possible. If you have any questions post them.
