  Server and desktop sections? Reply Contact Would it be possible to somehow split the sections for desktop (XP, Vista) and server (2000,2003,2008) configurations here?I see a world of difference in troubleshooting server problems compared to desktop ones.Although this is obviously a great resource here I find myself wading through problems/answers that apply to desktop configurations rather than the server ones that I am after. I must admit I am not sure how it could/would be done but personally I would be encouraged to contribute more if there was a dedicated server section. Most overused word in IT is 'should' as in 'That should work!?!'

IIS 5 - W2k IIS 5.1 - Win XP IIS 6 - W2k3 IIS 7 - W2k8/Vista Steps for each version are similar even the OS is different. So I would go for IIS version breakdown. Cheers, Bernard Cheah

  Re: Server and desktop sections? Reply Contact I fully understand the version breakdown however there is a world of difference for people doing server work and desktop work not least the users ability. By your description maybe we should recommend corp servers use vista or xp? ;P Pushing all the home users in with server users personally I think confuses matters. I have been working with IIS for years but I have never installed a desktop version. I wasn't expecting it to change just it would be nice if it did.
