After using it for about 2 weeks, I just ininstalled Windows Server 2003 and reinstalled Windows 2000 Server.
I liked it, but my whole network developed lag and access delays on the PC's and Mac's. Connectivity from my Mac was a disaster. Trying to bring 1800 MP3's into iTunes took hours, where before it took minutes. The hardware in the server is 100% supported. I had a complete green-board in the device manager and zero updates were required. I don't know what it's problem is, but after fiddling with it for 2 weeks I had enough. A real shame. I really liked the new configuration tools :( TL |

#1, we are having the opposite experience. We are rolling out a streaming real-time stockmarket tracker and decided to use Windows Server 2003 Web Edition vice Windows 2000 Advanced Server in a network load balance configuration. First of all, the savings between the two versions of the operating system are significant. And, although, we are not yet done tweaking the code, we are getting, when conducting stress tests against a single IBM 4500R (2 CPU 900MHz PIII, 512MB ECC PC-100 RAM and a single 9.1GB 10000RPM drive), over 12,000 hits per minute and 200+ / second with zero bad returns. That translates to the plus side of 40 million hits a day. Before going into production, we will configure an addtional four identical servers using network load balancing and we should be able to handle our entire customer load even if they were all on it at once!
On an identically configured box, as described above, but running Windows 2000 Advanced Server, the same streamer code against the stress test suite, it was only capable of half the hits. I'd say its a keeper. |

| TechLarry--did you try a network capture to see what was going on? |

sign of the times story about mac...
As I mentioned on these boards a month ago... my company no longer uses any macs. Well, the last 2 macs G4s were put up for sale to anyone in the company. It was a blind auction. We got exactly ZERO bids on those G4s. ZERO. So, we gave them to a local church. I figure the eventual users will need all the divine help they can get with that pos OS. |
