Hello all,

I need to know as soon as possible if Windows 2000 Professional and Windows 2000 Server are 2 completely different products or what?

thank you

Win 2K Pro is a Workstation Operating System.

Win 2K Server is a Network Server Operating System.

The Server version can do everything the Workstation can but not the other way round.

thank you, and it means that i can create a DOMAIN only on a Wind2k SERVER ?

in fact the real question is: is there ANY possibility to install Exchange Server 2000 on a Win 2K Professional ?

sorry if i'm being annoying, but i have to insist. i checked there, and there are a lot of documents, for me now would be enough to know wich OS to choose, because I have Win2K Pro, and if it's not good, I must get Win 2 K server.
so, a yes/no from you, would be best for me now :-)

thanks a lot

Sorry, I don't use the software so cannot state that it will work.

The answer will be out there.
