You realize you just compared an OS to an Application, right?
And you realize that Apache is available for Windows, yes? WAMP is just as usable a setup as LAMP. Hopefully you'll know for next time.
I was referring to the Windows IIS server software, not the Windows Server OS.

Outdated..That's why they're live exploit trackers..
If you read my last message, i said "Etc", if you used google, you could have found one of the top exploit tracking services on the net (http://www.securityfocus.com/)

Also, Microsoft never patches exploits found in it for quite a few months unless it's major.
You'll find alot of servers on the net exploitable to exploits mentioned there
yeah, linking to an actual latest exploit would be a better way to provide evidence instead of saying "just go to a tracker"

Also TC needs to post here again :/

Sorry guys. Havent updated you guys in a while. I can't get it to find the domain. I have tried everything I could think of. Any ideas?
Are you saying that the clients can not find the domain? Post a screenshot of your DNS settings or just the output of the ipconfig /all command

I will try this. Thank you. Haven't turned it on in a few days due to school work and simply be forgetting.

Well, this thread was amusing... Where to start?

When an ISP says "no servers" they only care about servers that you make available over their connections. They can't even see inside your network! If you're running Windows server or even linux as a "server", as long as it's not accessible outside; the ISP won't know/care.

Right, Apple Inc! Domain controllers are a royal pain to set up properly. Are you sure you've successfully made your Server 03 machine into a Domain Controller with DHCP and DNS?

You might have to turn DHCP off on your router; so your local client machines get their IP addresses from your server (where you want them to!) Once this is done, the DNS should automatically be set to the server, and voila, you *should* be able to see the domain.If not, double check the DHCP and DNS services are running. Or just manually set them.

Once this is all up and running, the server has to be on at all times or the internet will brake on each machine. Do remember that! :)

Moving on; Windows Servers are just as secure if you keep them up to date, and the admin isn't a complete idiot. I run a Server 2008 box for my parents small business, with Active Directory and Windows Software Update Services.

Yes, I could probably do the domain controller using Samba on Debian (Incidently, my favourite linux distro!)... But thats just hassle I don't need. Plus, WSUS only runs on Windows and it saves a crap load of bandwidth! (The server downloads all Windows updates, and distributes them around the network.)

Oh, and you can run Apache on windows. If you want to.
