Server?

This is probably going to amount to a silly question, but I'm curious
about something.

We are looking at Windows 2008 Enterprise Server and plan on running
four instances of it under ESX. Since, as I understand it, I can
legally run four virtual instances from one Enterprise license I planned
to create a Domain Controller, SQL Server, and a Terminal Server. I
also need a File/Print server and a Web Server for intranet use only.

I'm curious if it's a good idea or bad idea to run a web server on a
file and print server?

 

Hello Mathew,

Not a bad idea, but will your webserver be an intranet or it will be
available to people outside on the internet, and also you want to check the
traffic that this webserver will be generating.. And if your webserver is
going to be access on the internet, then you want to look into security
issues for youe files etc..

It won't be accessed via the internet. It's for internal use only. The
only thing I can think of that it will do is besides the internal web
application stuff is WSUS.

 

Hello Mathew,

If it is internal only, then I don't think it is a bad idea..

Cool. I couldn't imagine why it would be, but thought I'd ask here first.

That's just saying they don't support any third party virtualization
programs right? I mean I can still run Windows under VMware without
violating their virtualization license correct?

 

Hello matthew,

Has nothing to do with the license itself, it is about support.
