Win2k3 server or Win2k8 server

eSDee · 09-05-2008, 09:42 AM

Good morning folks. I just got a new Dell server that I am getting ready to install some basic Windows AD services on. I have set up Win2k3 servers in the past, but I know that Win2k8 is now out, and so I'm wondering if I should try to learn the new OS or if I should stick to Win2k3. Does anyone have any experience with Win2k8? I have seen the client side and although it is pretty, I wonder if it is more than I need.

Thanks if anyone has any insight.

Stick with 2k3 for now, IMHO, esp. if you already have experience with it.

2k8 has some nice changes, but mainly on the large enterprise side of things.
