interminded Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Norton Personal Firewall is really a client application.Therefore it will not work for Server 2003.If you take a look at symantec.com, you'll see that NPF 2005 is compatible with the following platforms: Windows XP Home/XP Pro/2000 Pro/Me/98If you're looking for a server 2003-compatible Firewall, you could choose forSymantec Enterprise Firewall. Some Features:Provides proactive security and protects the network against blended threats, by default. Full Application Inspection technology enables the inspection of data deep inside packets passing through the security gateway, providing enterprise-class protection for both application- and network-level attacks NEW! Web-based Security Gateway Management Interface (SGMI) enables administrators to easily deploy and configure local and remote security gateways from any Web-enabled system (using Microsoft® Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher or Netscape® Navigator 7.0 or higher) NEW! Advanced Management capabilities enable a wide range of advanced management and reporting capabilities via a centralized management console, simplifying the task of managing network security for hundreds of security gateways NEW! State sharing between High Availability/Load Balancing cluster nodes maintain Firewall and VPN sessions that extend the software's scalability and eliminate network downtime NEW! Extensive platform support, now including Windows Server 2003 NEW! Symantec Client VPN provides enhanced wireless support, UDP Encapsulation support, and securely extends networks with ProxySecured, IPSec-compliant integrated Virtual Private Networking (VPN) To burn CD / DVD, the most common apps. will be (or any time soon) able to burn on the 2003 platform.From my own experience, NERO 6.X works just fine !

Clint Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Well, actually you can install it on 2003...If you grab application toolkit from MS you can emulate XP and install any app that is supposed not to install on 2003 server.I would not recommend that if it were for a AV but as for FW's and other apps I don't see any problems.Good Luck!
