3. Why would one choose one version of 2003 Server over the other?<br />
4. What are the Hardware requirements for each of these different versions?<br />

Differences Between Windows 2003 Servers

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
