Had a request like this awhile back. Microsoft storage server although it is Windows 2003 at the core is designed to run on a server dedicated as storage server. Microsoft will NOT support running applications on it
FYI for anyone - Found this on Microsoft's site in the FAQ section....
Q. Can devices based on Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 be used for tasks other than storage?
A. No, these devices are specifically designed to be file servers with large amounts of storage capacity. They cannot be used to deploy business applications such as Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft Exchange Server. Backup, antivirus, and other applications typically used in a file serving environment are supported along with any embedded database functionality including SQL Server and/or MSDE.
