Web Edition looks extremely attractive.
Anyone know if it includes DNS services builtin? Thats the only other component I would need for webhosting needs. Will SQL Server 2k install on web edition? Thanks, RA |

It's not a matter of what it CAN run, but rather what it comes with.
It doesn't come with SQL Server, none of them do, however you can still buy SQL Server, install it, and use it. |

| It would be good if you could go online and select a list of services you want your copy to ship with, and then if perhaps one service depends on another it will come up and tell you and such... this would probably greatly increase sales due to the fact that you are only getting the services that you asked for rather than having to buy a certain level of the product just because it supports one thing that you need that the next lowest version doesn't. |

| Last I checked, SQL Server would *not* install on Web Server. |
| #5 By 1989 (24.159.230.34) at 3/3/2003 8:54:27 PM |
| IIS 6 still comes with Web Edition and MSDE can be installed as part of it. So, I would think that you can install the SQL Server 2k. The compatible apps page just says that it works with Windows 2003 Server without a version. |

| What's the deal with Terminal Server licensing in Windows Server 2003? Would I now need a TS CAL even if the client is running Windows 2000/XP? |

Just for comparison (not a recommendation)...
Linux - Free w/ no CAL costs. MacOS X Server - $999 with unlimited CAL's. TL |

"simplicity and value for customers"
Uh, oh. Run for the hills! Take your wallets! We've heard that one before (Licensing 6.0). TL |

"Linux is only free if your time is worth nothing"
-? Dont know who originally said that but its a good quote. With Max OSX Server your are required to buy Apple Hardware which is incredibly overpriced for what you get. Peace, RA |

Jcak,
You would have neeed a TS Cal when running Windows 2000 Pro clients, because it is one version behind Windows Server 2003. As for Windows XP Pro, you need a TS Cal, but if you own the Windows XP Pro license prior to the launch of Windows server 2003, you can get a free TS Cal token. See (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/howtobuy/licensing/overview.mspx) for more information on the Terminal Server Licensing Transition Plan. |

| We had been considering a terminal server setup for remote access, but now that XP includes terminal services, we have little use for it. Anyone else in this boat? |

Kevinu, why is that dumb? Why should someone be forced to buy a machine just for SQL server. Why not just block the SQL port on your router instead? I am not saying that having the SQL separate from IIS is not a good thing, I am just saying that why should you dictate my company's setup?
Dept B wants to expose and collect some data on the intranet why should they have to get 2 machines just for timecards? |
| #14 By 1845 (12.209.152.69) at 3/4/2003 6:04:30 PM |
| A server on the Internet is a server on the Internet. Why does it matter if it is a web server, email server, database server, etc. ? Putting SQL Server on the web server doesn't make that server inheriently insecure. If you only enable communication to the SQL Server through some other means (like named piipes) and apply a proper firewall, a SQL Server running on a web server might be quite a nice solution for a smaller company that can't afford two independent servers for web and database. |

#18 - "Do you not remember Slammer? Putting the database on the web server is DUMB."
I assume you mean it's dumb because SQL Servers should almost always be behind firewalls, right? Or because if your web server is compromised, chances are your database server will go with it? I tend to agree. But, it's not always dumb. If you properly secure your server (like patching 6 month old bugs, for instance), and if you block connections from outside your network, then it shouldn't be a problem. |
