Which OS for IIS7? 1

[dle46163]

Hi All,

I'm a bit confused about new OS's which run IIS7. I'm currently running Windows 2003 Server w/ IIS6. The version of 2003 is specifically the Web Edition. I want to build an IIS7 box but don't know if I need Vista or Longhorn and if there are specific web editions of each of those OS's? This is very important because I DON'T want to get stuck with limitations like when XP allowed you to run IIS6 but only have 1 active domain (among other restrictions). Further, I don't need all the other junk usually associated with Windows Server OS's. Is there anything like this out there for IIS7? Thanks!

it is the OS that limits the number of sites that can be defined not the version of IIS.

Only the server OS versions of Windows allow multiple sites and hostheaders to be used.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

IIS 7 is a component of Windows Server 2008 (it is not an installable component of Windows 2003).
