provides the following benefits to customers:
A highly effective platform for
ASP.NET–based intranet and Internet deployments.
Windows Server 2003, Web Edition, includes the newly
re-architected IIS 6.0, ASP.NET, and the Microsoft
.NET Framework.
Dedicated Web-serving functionality
that supports two-way symmetric multiprocessing (SMP),
2 gigabytes (GB) of RAM, and 10 in-bound server
message block (SMB) connections for content
publishing.
An economical Web server that is
competitively priced for self-hosting organizations
needing to deploy Web pages, Web sites, Web
applications, and Web services rapidly.
As with every member of the Windows
Server 2003 family, Windows Server 2003, Web
Edition, is built on industry standards that allow
organizations to extend existing Web applications
and quickly develop new ones. Web developers not
only can build Web pages, but also Web services that
can communicate with other platforms using
standards-based interfaces like XML and SOAP. This
level of cost-effective application development
encourages business productivity and flexibility and
also increases business solution opportunities.
Create Operational Efficiencies:
The core infrastructure services
provided by Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition
takes the best of Windows 2000 Server technology and
makes it easier to deploy, manage, and use. The
result is a highly productive operating system that
is secure, reliable, and ready to use
"out-of-the-box," with features that
provide robust availability and scalability.
Key enhancements include:
Dependability. Includes new
features and improvements that make it the most
dependable small business and departmental server
operating system Microsoft has ever created. It
improves upon many technologies introduced in
Windows 2000 Server, such as support for smart
cards, bandwidth throttling, and Plug and Play
support. New technologies, such as the common
language runtime, strengthen security to help
safeguard networks from malicious or poorly designed
code.
Scalability. Scales up to 4-way
symmetric multiprocessing (SMP). Customers seeking
the highest availability and scalability should
consider Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition or
Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition.
Manageability. Contains several
important and enhanced management tools including
Software Update Services (SUS), command-line
scripting support, and server configuration wizards
to help automate deployment, Enhancements to Group
Policy and Active Directory enable organizations to
better use Active Directory and take advantage of
its powerful management features.
Security. Designed with a focus on
improving security, Windows Server 2003 features a
redesigned IIS, strong authentication protocols such
as 802.1x and PEAP, and the common language runtime
to create a safer computing environment.
Having a strong foundation enables
businesses to deliver cost saving services while
increasing the effectiveness and security of each
customer's unique computing environment.
Better Applications, Faster Windows
Server 2003, Standard Edition provides a powerful
and integrated application platform which lays the
foundation where applications can be easily
developed and managed. Application services
including the Microsoft .NET Framework, Message
Queuing, COM+, and other Application Server options
give developers and administrators an integrated
toolbox that enhances productivity so they can
quickly build connected solutions.
Key application enhancements
include: IIS 6.0.-Redesigned with security,
reliability and performance in mind, IIS is locked
down by default, now capable of process isolation
and is over 100% faster in many cases.
Microsoft .NET Framework. By
integrating the .NET Framework into the Windows
Server 2003 application development environment,
developers are freed from writing
"plumbing" code and can instead focus
their efforts on delivering real business value.
XML Web Services. Developers can
integrate applications inside enterprises and across
network boundaries with partners and customers. This
allows for federated collaboration and more
efficient business-to-business and
business-to-consumer services.
Leverage Existing Investments.
Existing Windows-based applications will continue to
run on Windows Server 2003 and can be easily
repackaged as XML Web services. Developers are able
to use the programming languages and tools they
know. This is made possible by the application
services built into Windows Server 2003, such as
Microsoft ASP.NET, transaction monitoring, message
queuing, and data access.
User Productivity User productivity
begins with data. Windows Server provides the keys
with data availability and integrity. Intelligent
File Storage protects end-user data, eases access to
complex networks, and provides scalable a storage
architecture. Some of the services enhanced by
Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition for data
availability and data protection are:
Shadow Copy Restore- It allows
end-users to recover previous versions of documents
without interrupting their work process. Once the
Shadow Copy schedule has been established, (on a
volume by volume basis), end-users can revert to
previous, point-in-time copies of their files &
folders.
My Documents redirection. This
feature redirects the "MyDocuments" folder
from a user's local machine to a server.
Distributed File System (DFS).
Enables administrators to assign a single namespace
that provides users with a virtual view of logically
grouped shares, even though they reside in different
physical locations.
Encrypted File System (EFS).
Protecting user data is made even easier and now
includes encryption of offline files and folders.
However, in today's business
environment, file sharing and data storage isn't
enough to streamline processes and make teams work
more effectively. That's why powerful communication
and collaboration services an integral part of the
Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, such as:
Windows SharePoint Services.
delivers effective virtual teaming, version control
and document management.
Windows Media 9 Series. Enables
e-learning and executive broadcast to be facilitated
easily and cost-effectively.
Terminal Services. Provides access
to windows applications over low bandwidth links.
Windows Rights Management Services.
Provides information integrity and control over
information assets.
Windows Server 2003, Standard
Edition is the server platform for increasing user
productivity. Installing it will enable workers to
have better visibility into critical business
information. The ability to anticipate, manage, and
respond to changes will be dramatically improved.

following:
Web server software; for example,
IIS.
Non-enterprise database engine
software licensed to support not more than 25
concurrent users; for example, Microsoft SQL
Server™ 2000 Desktop Engine.
Web availability management
software; for example, Microsoft Application Center.
Installations of non-Web serving
applications are prohibited. ASP.NET-based
applications that include code written in
third-party programming languages can include that
programming language's runtime components. For
non-Web serving applications, you should consider
Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition.
In these types of configurations,
Windows Server 2003, Web Edition, offers customers
an economical way to deploy scale-out applications,
thanks to the competitively priced licensing model.
Limitations:

is designed specifically for dedicated Web serving
needs, and its functionality has certain limitations
as follows:
Although computers running Windows
Server 2003, Web Edition, can be members of a
Microsoft Active Directory® service domain, Windows
Server 2003, Web Edition, cannot be a domain
controller. Consequently, organizations cannot use
Windows Server 2003, Web Edition, alone to apply
certain management features, including Group Policy,
Software Restriction Policies, Remote Installation
Services, Microsoft Metadirectory Services, Internet
Authentication Service (IAS), and others.
Organizations cannot use Windows
Server 2003, Web Edition, to deploy enterprise
Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration
(UDDI) services. UDDI is an essential component for
enabling discovery and reuse of XML Web services.
For these capabilities, the
following editions of Windows Server 2003 can be
used instead:
All the core features in Windows
Server 2003, Web Edition, including IIS 6.0, .NET
