Guest Mark Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Have recently upgraded to SBS 2003 and have a W2K3 Server connected in that room for remote access. It holds one program. We are through with that program. Can I make the W2k3 Server a client workstation and put it online with our new network? If Yes.. Is it as simple as with a pc? If no.. Thanks
Guest Dave Patrick Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Re: Can I make a W2K3 Server a client or workstation You can but why not blow it away and install a Windows client OS? Lots of software has different rules or license requirements for server versus client operating system. -- Regards, Dave Patrick ....Please no email replies - reply in newsgroup.

Guest Mark Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Re: Can I make a W2K3 Server a client or workstation Dave, Any suggestions. for Windows client OS.. for a Server.. this Workstation is only going to access the Network and use the Application Server. We have just outgrown it Speed and size wise, so I thought of making it a client. I mean why waste it. With W2K3 can we not access our network and then the application Server? More suggestions?...Thanks.. Mark "Dave Patrick" wrote: > You can but why not blow it away and install a Windows client OS?

If you're going to use this as a regular desktop computer, put XP Pro on it. Don't try to use W2003. A lot of things won't work. I suggest you post in microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs for more assistance, as SBS does a lot of things its own way - your client operating systems have to be set up properly. > > Mark > > "Dave Patrick" wrote: > >> You can but why not blow it away and install a Windows client OS? >> Lots of software has different rules or license requirements for >> server versus client operating system. >> >> >> >> -- >> >> Regards, >> >> Dave Patrick ....Please no email replies - reply in newsgroup. >> Microsoft Certified Professional >> Microsoft MVP [Windows] >> http://www.microsoft.com/protect >> >> "Mark" wrote: >>> Have recently upgraded to SBS 2003 and have a W2K3 Server connected >>> in that >>> room for remote access.
