As a network administrator I'm asking you why you try to convert win2003 server into a workstation??? Doesn't make any sense to me... Win2000 SP4 is even more stable than w2k3. Look on this site: http://www.msfn.org/win2k3/ Pages and pages filled with instructions to convert win2k3 to some kind of workstation. You will discover that some software isn't 100% compatible with win2003. I've read many stories about manufacturers that had t release new version of their software to make it fully win2k3 compatible. I know, you're going to say that you don't have any problems, but trust me, give it time. Assuming that your copy is legal, why did you pay $1,200 (!) for win2003 server when you can have win2k/xp pro for somewhere between $250-$300... After reading this, can you understand all my confusion?
