Quest: WinNT4 Server downgrade on a Win2000 Server
-
I bought Window NT 4 Server on ebay and when I got it in the mail it was the upgrade and not the full versoin. I try to email the seller for a refund but no answer so I tried to resell it on ebay and no bids. It is still srinked-wrap. I bought Windows 2000 Server Full version from Staples and I intalled that and it had alot error the first time logon and getting the desktop and I coundn't take it back. Anyway if I was to open and install Window NT 4 Server it will ask me for a disk for Win NT 3.5X Server (which I dont have and is rare these days). Can I put in the Windows 2000 Server cd to continue setup or will NT 4 setup look in the wrong place for the infomation. Also I know it looks on the hard drive but while I was installing XP Pro setup would find Win98/NT4Work/2000Pro on the harddrive. Any help or do I need to wait for WinXP Server? By the way, when is WinXP Server and .NET Server coming out? Real World Coding: POP& BuyAPop(Money ADollar){...};

The Win2K Server should have no trouble running, unless the hardware is incompatible. If it originally came with NT3.5 (not at all clear from this post), the hardware probably can't run Win2K or XP. It's too old. Since the Win2K Server is as expensive as a decent server platform, I'd build a new server and install the Win2K on it. Short of that, wipe the drive and install Win2K from the CD - then pray.

No it can with Win98 it. Win2000/XP Pro work great on it. It's just Win2000 server I have trouble with and I want to try NT 4 server now. Hope it is clear now... Real World Coding: POP& BuyAPop(Money ADollar){...};

If Win2k Pro works fine, the Win2k server should as well. They are the exact same operating system as far as hardware compatibility goes. -- Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?

Seem to be some IIS service errors. ISS is too basic for me to install it on Win2k Pro. Real World Coding: POP& BuyAPop(Money ADollar){...};
