IIS Questions

Thank you very much for your help. What type of hardware would you recommend
for running Windows Server 2003? Is Windows Server 2003 a traditional windows
OS? Would i be able to manage IIS 6 in much the same way as IIS 5 in XP Pro?

Hi,

The type of hardware really depends on what you plan on doing, and how many
users you are planning to have

Windows Server 2003 is like any other Windows Server operating system, and
the IIS configuration is generally the same. I suggest you try the
evaluation copy to see if it's right for you:
