How does Windows Server 2003 manage licenses for software?
I work on a computer that is connected to a network that runs Windows Server 2003. I want to install a particular software (Adobe CS3), and I'm wondering how (or if, big IF) Server 2003 manages this software. I was told by Adobe customer service (Tier 2) that Server 2003 does not manage the licenses for this software, but I was told something different by my IT department. If you could add your 2 cents, I would appreciate it.

I wonder what would make your IT department think Win2k3 server managed the license for an Adobe product. Perhaps they just want to make sure you are not installing software that you don't own a license for. The only licenses I know of that 2k3 manages are Microsoft ones. My 2 cents...

how to share internet connection in windows server 2003 and manage access and bandwidth thru ip/mac address?
i want to share my internet connection to other users on lan and also want to manage internet access and bandwidth given to the users thru ip/mac address. i have 2mb ADSL connection that i want to share.i don't want to buy a router for connection sharing coz i heard that everything is available in windows server 2003.plzzz help

A quick way to set it up. Open network connections, go to Lan or high speed internet and then right click on the connection you want to share i.e the main internet connection. In the Advanced tab you should see "internet connection sharing" tick the box that says "allow others to connect through this computers internet connection" You will normally need 2 network cards or links though and therefore a hub for the other users to connect through. If you dont have 2 network cards (one to the internet and one for the internal computers) then ICS can't be turned on. Once ICS is running it will take care of everything and include a Quality of Service that ensures no-one can hog the bandwidth. This is often better than running a restriction through Mac address etc, after all if there is only one person on then you would expect they will have more bandwidth, as more people connect then the QOS will distribute the bandwidth based on demand.

Do I need Windows Server when I want to manage/administer network PCs?
I want the other PCs in a network to obtain an account and password. Do I need Server OS or just common XP could do it for me?

Of course you need it to install DNS. XP Pros are clients...

I need Serious help adding clients to Windows server 2003?
Ok so after my last question I'm still lost. I installed windows 2003 r2 onto a brand new server computer(My server has 2 ethernet ports, i wish to only use one).I have installed an AD with a domain and have added users. Along with setting up the AD i was prompted to install dns; at the time I didn't know what dns was so I put random numbers in the dns installation.I then deleted the dns server from the "manage your server" section and am now only left with the domain controller(AD).At this point I have a static ip adress verizon dsl modem connected to a wireless netgear router with dhcp enabled. The server and clients are all connected to the netgear router via ethernet cables. I have no idea what I need to do to get the clients to "locate" the server. Do i need dns, dchp, wins? I need a file, and print server possible application server as well and i need to keep that wireless netgear router. If I need to install dns,dchp then I need step by step on what numbers I need to enter.Thanx ----Some Extra Details---- I know how to disable dchp from my router and also how to assign static ips from my router as well.My router also has an option for adding a "dmz server". I know the static ip adress,sunbnet mask, default gateway, preferred/alt dns for the static ip here in my office but if I need to setup something on my server I need to know what *exactly* to put into configurations for example forward zone/reverse zone, what maintains a zone,whats a good zone name,allowing dynamic update,forward queries to dns server? The router gives out local ip adress of 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.254 I know i'm asking for alot but if you could please help with deatiled by detailed instructions I'd greatly appreciated it. If it's too long of an explanation you can email me at fastasamuthur@netscape.net...thank you for taking your time doing this for me and if you need a lil motivation I have a paypal account :) THANK YOU!!

RM, I love your avatar, but unfortunately, your response is only partially correct. ----------- In order to run Active Directory, you require DNS. It is best to run the DNS on the Domain Controller (the 2003 R2 server you are describing) for a number of reasons. Those reasons are listed at the first link below. So, let's get to creating that DNS record that you need: Creating a DNS Zone: 1.Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS. 2.Click the DNS Server object for your server in the left pane of the console, and then expand the server object to expand the tree. 3.Right-click Forward Lookup Zones, and then click New Zone. Click Next. 4.Click Primary zone to create a master copy of the new zone. Click Next. 5.Type the name of the new zone (match it to your domain's name, for example,_tcp.mycompany.com), and then click Next. 6.Click Accept to accept the default file name for the new zone file, and then click Next. 7.Click Allow any dynamic updates, and then click Next. 8.Click Finish. Create a reverse DNS zone: 1.Click the DNS Server object for your server in the left pane of the console, and then expand the server object to expand the tree. 2.Right-click Reverse Lookup Zones, and then click New Zone. Click Next. 3.Click Primary zone to create a master copy of the new zone. Click Next. 4. Select the method how DNS data is replicated throughout your network and (to all domain controllers in the Active Directory Domain) click Next 5.You have to provide Network ID of your network to complete the zone (192.168.1.x) and then click Next. 6.Click Allow any dynamic updates, and then click Next. 7.Click Finish. Turn on Dynamics updates for the newly created zones: 1.In the DNS Management Console, click the DNS Server object for your server in the left pane of the console, and then expand the server object to expand the tree. 2.Right-click the server object, and then click Properties. 3.On the General tab, click the Allow dynamic updates drop-down box, and then click Yes. Click Ok. Setup a DNS forwarder to the ISP supplied IP address: 1. Right click the DNS Server object for your server in the left pane of the console, and click Properties. 2. Click the Forwarders tab. 3. Check the Enable forwarders check-box. 4. In the IP address box enter the IP address of the DNS servers you want to forward queries to - typically the DNS server of your ISP. You can also move them up or down. The one that is highest in the list gets the first try, and if it does not respond within a given time limit - the query will be forwarded to the next server in the list. 5. Click OK. ---> The reason that this will work, regardless: Many wired and wireless routers allow some forms of Dynamic DNS (Registering your DNS address with the router), but configuring it as I described will work, regardless of what the router accepts. Servers register other records, besides simply the hostname, that clients need to locate the Domain Controller. Most wired/wireless routers will not accept these SRV records, therefore using Windows 2003's DNS is your best option. Doing so also sets the clients up (using RM's response) to configure the clients using DHCP addresses from the server. This points everything to the Windows 2003 server and then allows the Windows 2003 Server to forward all DNS requests to the router for a response. Once you can do this, all new clients are able to register with the DNS server, join the domain, and use domain or Internet resources seamlessly. If I were you, I'd setup my DHCP server scope to provide not only the IP Addresses to clients, but also the DNS servers (AD/DNS Server) and gateway address (ie: your wired/wireless router address). I think this takes care of everything you asked for. Hope it's what you need along with the explanation of why you need it that way. One last thing: make sure that you have a good firewall in front of this thing. Windows Firewall is not good enough. Turn on the firewall on your router and configure it to restrict all incoming traffic. If you have the ability to drop DoS, DDoS, and hacking attempts, by all means, turn it on. WG

Which software uses to manage partition like Partition Magic and can be run in Windows Server 2003?
I'm running Windows server 2003 and I want to do some task in partition like resize, move, format... but Powerquest Partition Magic does not support this OS. Is there any software can meet my requirement ?

It's hard to find such software because nobody actually want to perform such task on a server. It will be best to install additional hard drive to create additional space. Another option is introducing ISCSI.. If you have another server with more disk space then use an software call WinTarget do create an ISCSI connection and present it to the server that are low on disk space. This is really EZ to do just follow the .pdf instruction.http://www.stringbeansoftware.com/KB/GettingStarted.pdf

What Windows Server 2003 do I need?
I am running a small business, with 10 workstations. I purchased a server mainly so I could have a RAID system for backup and a centralized computer to manage Filemaker 8.5 Server (our database system). I have a copy of Windows 2000 Server, and would like to upgrade to Windows 2003 Server. There are so many things out there, and they're all so expensive... so I would hate to buy the wrong thing. I wouldn't mind buying a few more licenses incase we get more employees with computers. What should I get, and where can I get it? I cannot use any system based on anything other than Windows, as it must be compatible with Filemaker 8.5 Server. Thank you, Cody

You may want to stick with Server 2003 R2 Standard. It works well with smaller to medium sized businesses and is a little less expensive I think than Small Business edition. I believe you can get it in both 32-bit and 64-bit. Which one you choose is solely dependent on what type of server you have and your budget. What you can do is talk to your server manufacturer and see what they recommend. Also, start an account with an online computer retailer (PC Connection is good) and get an account rep. That way you can talk them down in prices instead of just buying normally through their website at regular price. Good luck
