Anybody know where I can find a comparison chart of Server vs. Advanced Server?
OK, I typed your exact title into google and found it in about three clicks...... -- Kendal R. Emery, MCSE, Network+, A+, MCNGP #19 Systems Administrator Coordinated Home Care remove me to email to me
I understand the point you are trying to make, but I too used google and found articles but no charts, and that's why I decided to post to the newsgroup, just hoping that I wouldn't get a response such as yours. Thanks for nothing.
This would be a much better place if those MCNGP people weren't here. Pretty pathetic group but at least this one identifies himself instead of hiding like the rest.
How about this ? http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/advancedserver/howtobuy/choosing/default.asp Regards, Paul Lynch MCSE
MCNGP would have no reason to be here if not for the lusers and spammers. BTW "anonymous", is I expect, not *your* real name either, hmmmm? The OP says she was hoping to not get the response that she did. Well, then, why not explain what steps she had aready taken to try to find the info before posting? A sysadmin needs to be able to do research. This site took me all of 30 seconds to find: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/serverfamily/default.asp I'm quite sure there are many more out there if the OP is persistant enough to find them, I can't be bothered.

Thank you JaR, that chart was very helpful, unfortunately I didn't come across that one yesterday. When I ask a question in a newsgroup, I ask it after looking in the newsgroup archives, using search engines, books, knowledge bases, help files, etc. I didn't think it was necessary to preface my question with that information because I would hope that anybody who asks questions in here would first put forth some effort in finding the information themselves. I'm all too familiar with someone contacting me for help with something that they could have figured out themselves had they tried. In fact, I usually reward such laziness with making them wait because I know if it's important they'll try to solve the problem while they're waiting on me. They often call back saying, nevermind I figured it out myself. I find it's easier to ignore the messages that I think are stupid (i.e. where do I find braindumps) or poorly researched (i.e. how do logon to the MCP member site). I suggest fellow newsgroup posters read and respond selectively. --- "JaR" < in message MCNGP would have no reason to be here if not for the lusers and spammers.

perhaps if that was the case of those who ask questions in here. i'd say close to 99% of the people asking for basic stuff fail to utilize the resources available to them and would rather have someone else do it for them. that being said, i find it hard to believe that you couldn't find this, with all the steps you listed below, on your own.
it's cool, i don't need you to find it easy to believe. not sure why you'd stay in the newsgroup if you find so many people don't at least make an attempt to find the answers to their questions. this newsgroup is also a public resource. let people use it. if you think they're abusing it, ignore their cries for help.
I am so sorry, how insenstive of me to try to teach you to stand on your own... I will lead you by the hand. since it is rather obscure.... in google I typed Windows 2000 server vs. advanced server The first link was the Windows 2000 Advanced server homepage On the right was a product overview button And on that page was a link to the Windows 2000 server family Now, knowing that I wanted a comparison between two of the server family, I clicked on that link and voila, I got the same page as was given to you in later posts. Now, in the future, if youdon't want a response like mine, then I suggest you put in your post that you have searched here, and searched there, and what youtyped into google. A post like yours says, "I haven't done anything, I want to be spoon fed" -- Kendal R. Emery, MCSE, Network+, A+, MCNGP #19 Systems Administrator Coordinated Home Care remove me to email to me
A post like yours says, "I haven't done I haven't done anything and I WANT to be spoon fed. Literally...
Yes you were insensitive. She looked sooooo hard. This computer stuff is reeeeaaaaly haaaard! And then sarcastic you comes along. Shame on you. Just 'cause anyone else who bothered could find the link in three clicks, does not mean that everyone can, now does it? Oh, wait. Yeah I guess it does, huh! Still, please try to be more understanding in future. If someone can't find something, you should just look it up for them and be nice. I have scheduled you for our next class, "Spoon-Feeding 101".

I don't need to be lead by the hand, it's not obscure at all. But, I'm sure you've never overlooked a link, or clicked on one that led you down the wrong path. This is not such a big deal, move on. I believe I already addressed this issue, no spoon feeding necessary thanks.
No, what I said was, "Anybody know where I can find a comparison chart of Server vs. Advanced Server?"
Again, I didn't ask anyone to look anything up for me. Whoever did, and is upset about it, has themselves to blame. Nobody made you do it. Not interested, thanks anyway.
No, what I said was, "Anybody know where I can find a comparison chart of You misunderstand, I was making a shallow attempt at flirting.
Oh, I see. In that case, thanks, way to make a girl smile. Good thing my boyfriend doesn't visit this newsgroup! ;-) HAND.
