Re: Windows Server 2003 Web Edition

Don't join it to a domain. Isolate the server if it is in front of the internet.

Hi Johnboy007,

Finally someone answered. I have been searching Microsoft Website for a guide about Web Edition. Have not found one yet. We want to setup this server to store files that will be reference on our website (hosted by Godaddy). Clients will be able to click on the link on our website and download the files from this server.

Thanks

ALWAYS have a firewall in front of you server external or not and definately
ANTI-Virus recommendation: kaspersky or Avg. If it is for file transfer open
just FTP on you firewall or http (as you wish). What do you wish to do with
this server?

We are installing a Windows 2003 Server Web Edition to host an external web

Should we Join it to our SBS 2003 Premium Edition Domain?

How do we secure it? Do we install a firewall infront of it? Do we install
ISA on it? Should we install an antivirus program on it? Which one do you
recommend?
