Convert 2003 Server to Workstation -> Hibernation

[jeeva]

Hello

I'm planing to upgrade to 2003 Server on my notebook, but can I use hibernation? That stuff costs many $, £, €, CHFs, whatever you want, but it would be a waste if it cannot hibernate. I read through the guide, couldn't find a Power Management Section

Thanks in advance

Hibernation already available in server 2003 :

control panel > power option > hibernate

but it is unchecked... simply check it.

also you can use this utility to convert server 2003 to workstation:

Win 2003 Optimize Tool v1.45

I'd noticed:

* server 2003 takes about 33 sec. booting

* XP takes 20 sec. booting

Ok thanks, checking device drivers and then lets move!!!

Which Edition can I take for converting, do they only vary on Server Components or is there a difference "under the hood" ?

I first try it and then buy a licence, it's on the ground to be illegal, but if I can try W2k3 Enterprise for free (180 Days) Microsoft shouldn't hurt me if I try another Edition.

I have available:

Windows Server 2003 Standard

Windows Server 2003 Enterprise

Windows Server 2003 Small Business Edition

Which one to take?

You can see the difference between standard and Enterprise at:

i think standard is enough if you will use it as a workstation !!
