K guys, here is the scenario:

win2k3 server enterprise (free from msdn account)
ftp server setup
http server
printer server
file server


Do you guys have domain controllers setup at home? What about exchange? what are your server setups for home use? Im wondering if i should leave the workgroup world behind. What cool stuff could you do? Fill me in!

edit: what about dns? since it caches what your ISP's dns entries, wouldnt it be faster since the latency is virtually NIL?
 
It'd be less work to correctly set up those services (especially Exchange) using SBS 2003, if that also comes with your MSDN subscription.

MSDN FAQ:

"What is the general nature of the terms of the MSDN End User License Agreement?

The MSDN End User License Agreement (EULA) allows each person with an MSDN license to use all of the software that is included in the subscription for development, test, and demonstration purposes only.
MSDN subscriptions are single-user licensed; everyone who uses the products within an MSDN subscription must have an MSDN Subscriptions license. In other words, one license must be purchased for each user.

What do you mean by "production?" What are examples of test and development work?

By "production" we mean any activity that is personal, for general business use, or not directly related to the testing and development of software applications.
Examples of (prohibited) production use include:

Installing Windows 98 to play games for entertainment.
Installing Windows 2000 Server and Exchange Server to set up an e-mail system that you use to send personal and/or business-related e-mail.
You may not use your MSDN subscription as a substitute for purchasing a retail license for an operating system if you do more than develop and test on your computer.

Examples of development and testing use include:
Testing to see if a program in development works equally well with various different operating systems.
Designing and writing a program to assist with internal order procurement and distribution."
 
The school doesn't offer SBE for Server 2k3. Now if I wanted to test out clustering, that would be fine with the Enterprise version they give out.
