Marsden Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I don't think you can afford Datacenter Edition...Have you configured your Win2K3 machine for Streaming Media Services?Look in Help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjnabiZ Posted April 17, 2005 Author Share Posted April 17, 2005 I not yet purchased the Dedicated server, so the question of if i have setup the media server on it, it out of the question : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsden Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Trouble understanding your question. You want to know what version of windows 2003 server to buy for windows media services?Unless you are buying an 8 CPU 32GB hardware solution Standard Edition will work just fine.

AjnabiZ Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 Alright, I have asked my host and they said that the Windows Server is Standard edition.What I need to know is if there is any tutorial or book where i can learn how to setup Windows MEdia Server under Windows Server 2003.

maverick1983 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 actually did it couple of months back without any prior knowledge and its quite simple, i guess u still have to do some reading to fine tune and security reasons but the default will already work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
