I thought web edition could join a domain just not become a domain controller. But seriously use linux and invest the £300-500 saving into buying another server ;-) Thats what I did. You could also run the server under Windows XP I assume as this would be slightly cheaper. Be aware that IIS is limited and there is no DNS or any of the server features.<br>

I also know that there once was some licensing trick. You could only buy<br>it OEM or needed some expensive licensing agreement.... But I'm not up<br>to speed with the current licensing for Web Edition. I also believe it<br>
cannot join a domain, but that is probably not an issue since it's a<br>system in (at least) a DMZ.<br><br>Cheers Haas<br><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br>Robert Mount wrote:<br>> Windows Web Edition works fine for serving games. Be aware of the CPU<br>
