WSS 2/3 Install ?? 1

[hissi]

HI
I have a 2003 domain with the following servers -
Domain Controller / File and Print Server.
Exchange 2003 Server.
2003 Citrix Presentation Server.
2003 Payroll / Time and Attendance Server.
All 20003 Standard.
Which is best practice to install WSS 2 or 3 on to.
Thanks.

I would say 2003 Payroll Server just because depending on the size of your firm this server will probably taking the least amount of hits. People will only log in there once or twice a day.

Hi smartrider,
Thanks for reply. Only issue with using Payroll/T&A is the server polls the clocking terminals all the time and is hard enough to get a remote desktop session with it.
I have a friend that runs wss on a SBS2003 with 50 users. Thats why I asked the question
Is it not advisable to run on a DC or Exchange Server ?
Should I be looking at getting a cheapie server and see how it goes.
Thanks.

Don't run it on Exchange. And I wouldn't run it on a DC, either. SBS is entirely different. Microsoft built that to specifically work together in that model.
