Hi I am new to this forum. I was searching for any information on setting up windows server 2003 for windows media streaming. I want to buy a Dedicated Server and setup Windows Media. Since the dedicated server is my first, so I am going for a Fully Managed Dedicated Server. Now, what i require is to Stream Pre-Recorded (on-Demand) Video Lectures. Sine I have never setup a media server before, what steps should I take. I have got hold of a book by Microsoft " Microsoft Windows Media Resource Kit" http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/- /0735618070/qid=1113736511/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/002-1111371-6709601? v=glance&s=books&n=507846 Now would this book be enough for setting up the windows media server on Windows Server 2003. Which version should I look for , Windows Server 2003 Standard, Enterprise or Datacenter ? NO Live streaming is planned at the moment, Only on-Demand streaming is requried. Can anyone guide me ? I'll also have to administor the Windows Server 2003, should i get my hands on " Windows Server 2003 " Book by Sybex
