Nice article.

I can confirm, I use Windows 2008 Server x64 sice first day it was RTM'ed and it rocks, the most stable & fast OS from MS I've ever seen.

I use it for development (VS.NET, MS SQL Server) and running without any problems now (the only thing I noticed was Skype due to problems with x64 RTM version of WS).

Hey great article.  

Granted, you are not recommending win2k8 server over vista, but the question is still the same.  You as a professional, and like most of the people reading these posts, which setup do you think is best?  Which one is best suited for you when addressing issues like responsiveness, security, stability.  win2k8 Server or vista ?

Any advice on being able to play back dvr-ms recorded files on win2k8?  I have media center 2005 on a separate box and like to watch recordings in media player under Vista.  This doesn't seem to work for win2k8.

A lot of thanks for info.

This OS really good and only problem I got it's Data Execution Prevention compatibility. I know how disable it for OS with ntldr, but unfortunatly have no idea how it can be done on Vista-like OS. Maybe someone can describe how to do it?

Thanks a lot for this post, followed it and my Thinkpad t61 is now playing very nicely with server 2008.

But i have one issue left, the 'offline files' function. I found the services called 'offline files', but I'm not able to enable it. Anybody have a clue what i need to make this work.

Please help!

I have succesfully installed Sidebar on W2k8.

1) Just copy "c:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar" folder from a Windows Vista machine.

2) Run from console: "sidebar.exe /RegServer"

(these are the all options you have: sidebar.exe /autoRun /AX /CPL /detectMem /showgadgets /uninstallgadgets /RegServer /UnregServer)

Regards,

Andrea.

For me , the major obstacle to running Windows Server 2008 would be the compatibility of the applications I use on a regular basis. Add to that the lack of drivers and I'll say people should wait a year before starting this kind of project.

# cyn said:

Games work great. You might need to run the DirectX websetup to get missing Dx9 compoments, but most games work really nice. Sometimes you need to disable the desktop design (Diablo series).

So far the only thing I am missing is proper BDA driver support for running TV cards. All apps I tried fail with the BuildGraph() or Connect() functions of the drivers.

Vistas Media Center wont run here (none of the .exes do anything)

However I am not sure if there are any real advantages over a Vista SP1 system for a personal/home user (except for the coolness factor, of course)...

the only thing I did NOT get to work is the luetooth adapter in my laptop. I used that one under Vista to connect my Mouse to, now I have to use the dongle that came with the mouse. it is one action more, not too bad. but I hate a question mark in my device manager... Icannot stop in in the bios though, because I change harddisks once in a while to use either vista or XP to work from for various reasons.

Has anyone been able to get dreamscene to work right?  I have it installed but for some reason I can't get .mpeg files to play right.  I have tried two different codec packs and I have tried and it plays DVD's just fine.  At first it was because of video drivers so I was able to get them loaded.  Now I choose a dreamscene and it does nothing.  I try to play the dreamscenes in media player and it says the codecs aren't installed.  Do I need to do an update on directx as well?  I'm pretty sure that the vista codec pack should support the mpeg but I wanted to make sure.

Getting Offline files to work in 2k8:

1. By default, 2k8 does not seem to create the C:\Windows\CSC folder, but all the other needed components are installed. If you do not have this folder, just create it manually before proceeding further.

2. Create/edit the following registry keys:

Key: KLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CscService\Start

Type: REG_DWORD

Value: 2

Key: KLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CSC\Start

Type: REG_DWORD

Value: 1

Key: KLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CSC\Parameters\FormatDatabase

Type: REG_DWORD

Value: 1

Key: KLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CSC\Parameters\CacheLocation

Type: REG_SZ

Value: \??\c:\Windows\csc (yes, with the weird looking question mark stuff)

Note: The \Parameters key above may not exist, you will have to create it if it doesn't.

3. Reboot and offline files should be functional.

"Setup cannot continue because either there is insufficient free hard disk space or an unexpected error has occurred.  please free the neccesary disk space, and run Setup again.  For system requirements refer to the product packaging."

this is frustrating.  it seems more and more MS products are incompatible with each other.  It has the same kernal as Vista - why not let the same devices work across the different OS's!

I have been going through this process on a Dell D630 with 2.2 core 2, and 4 GB of RAM trying to run Windows 2008 Ent x64 hyper - v,

I must say that everything works very fast, even faster than running the same laptop with vista x64 sp1.  Many of the drivers installed in less than 1/2 the time.  

The only single issue for me that might fource me back to vista x64 sp1, is the fact that I cannot seem to get power management to work with the hyper - v enabled.  

I have even tried to stop the services that make up the hyper - v, and can still not get my laptop to stand-by.

Does anyone have a work around for this issue?

I've installed w2k8 on two machines - my desktop and laptop. Works AMAZINGLY well! FAR better experience than vista.

For those who are having issues w/ windows live apps, the beta 2 of Messenger 9 works fine. (see the link soemone posted above). I also was able to get Messenger 8.5 working, but had to hack the installer to fool it in to thinking it was running on a workstation OS. Once I did that, it installed fine.

Hi everyone. After having nothing but hassles with Ultimate X64, I was sceptical about putting 2k8 on.  How wrong I was!  Now I've got 90% of things running (like Aero, Audio/Video experience etc. I'm pretty happy.  Only prob is, I'm chasing the Vista64 games pack (Solitaire, Purble Place, Chess, etc.) due to my love of playing Solitaire while apps are working.  Hoping for help soon.

Thanks for the article - I found this after I installed Win2k8 and found a lot of the same issues.

My current outstanding issues in getting Win2k8 to do everything I would like to do  -

1 Figure out how to get windows live mail working (windows mail says it doesn't support http mail - windows live mail says it won't install on WIndows server) - I have outlook but prefer to keep my e-mail account with my newsgroup reader open as a seperate item as I have many e-mail acounts and two outlook profiles that I switch between while I had been using outlook express on XP.

2 Figure out how to customize my ie toolbar - I had done this on previous version of windows by adding registry entries and keeping a folder for the icons - e.g.  

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\{D7ED695D-4CA4-440d-B1CC-037F28765EBD}]

"Default Visible"="Yes"

"ButtonText"="Google"

"HotIcon"="C:\\install\\IEButtons\\google2.ico"

"Icon"="C:\\install\\IEButtons\\google2.ico"

"CLSID"="{1FBA04EE-3024-11D2-8F1F-0000F87ABD16}"

"Exec"="http://www.google.com/search?as_q=+&num=10&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&lr=lang_en&as_ft=i&as_filetype=&as_qdr=m3&as_occt=any&as_dt=i&as_sitesearch=&safe=images"

20 April 08 at 6:26 PM

# boe said:

I figured out the issue with the iebuttons -  That registry trick still works - but since x64 has two version of IE7- and by default it puts the shortcut for IE7 32 bit on the desktop, I forgot to check if it made those shortcuts in IE7 x64 - which it does!

Only problem - still no flash player for IE64

As an answer to vadim: Windows Media Player WORKS perfect on Windows 2008 x64. And is far better than what runs on Windows XP. I can watch divx movies and dvds without any problem. Also Creative Audigy Fx works perfect on Windows 2008, but the installation was a little bit tricky.

Actually all my programs work perfect on Windows 2008 x64, including Skype.

Seriously, what is the difference?  Nothing... you can remove any of the x64 features from Vista.  I don't see a difference, they're the same kernel.  The risk and issues I had with 2k8 far outweigh the benefits, uhm if there are any.  You guys are friggin hype-to-the-max.

# Greg K. said:

To those who are wondering the difference... this is not my personal conclusion, it is a loose citation of what I saw elsewhere, but WS08 is missing DRM! (Digital Rights Management) This makes it both FAR faster and FAR more stable. It also renders it pretty useless to those, who (like me) are trying to get media functionality out of their server. I thought WS08 was the end to all of my troubles when I was trying to build a home-based Web/Application/Streaming server and put it into an HTPC box, so when not under heavy use it could function as my media PC and gaming rig. Fine tuned the hardware components, installed all the soft.. and was VERY happy when not only everything worked great and fast, but I even got all the workstation perks thanks to this article and couple others. Then "whooops"es started happening: Can't install MCE, can't use as PVR (found a hack to port and install BDE, just recently, so I MIGHT be able to finally get the digital TV Tuner to work), can't port Games, the Marine Aquarium screensaver has some weird DX bug and half-the-time draws fish fins without the fish itself, my DVD movies won't play (though I'm sure that can be fixed as someone stated they had it working). Frankly, the speed and reliability gain are greatly appreciated, but I might be missing my DRM-powered features more than I thought I would. So it might be back to regular Vista. If I get it working under WS08, it'd make it just as slow and crash-prone, and I'd still have many incompatibilities.

So my final verdict FWIW, WS08 makes a great WORKstation. If you're planning to use it for development, streaming, MS Office even... it will pay for itself in security, manageability, stability and reduced frustration time and again.  But if you want even a smidge of media and gaming, you would probably be better off going with Vista.

Having said that, I had no trouble running Orange Box (Team Fortress 2) on WS08. Purrs like a kitten at all the highest settings. HD DivX movies were actually worse in performance than on my Vista machine, but that could be due to a CPU with lesser L2 cache (E2180@3Ghz vs E4500@3.2Ghz) and less system mem (2Gb@800Mhz vs 4Gb@800Mhz). I've since OC'ed the box a little differently, and the DivX movies run great. Even 1080p at full screen (non-anamorphic). But that's a different discussion. P.S.: I use a combination of Cole2K and CCCP codec packs on WS08 to get all the media to work. Now if only my DVD's would play.

There have been some claims here that I bought into at first, namely, "Windows 2008 runs faster than windows vista." But...go to spec.org and search around at the results. It takes a LOT of digging, and unfortunately some generalization, but you can find the answer.

The author originally stated that he used windows 2003 in place of XP. It was "disguised" as XP, so it likely wasn't for the interface. The claim was that the efficiency of the system was better. The same claims have been made in this article in comparison to windows 2008 vs. Vista.

While there are not actually any worthwhile published benchmark results of server 2008, there are MANY results from 2003 available at spec.org. After comparing many different alike systems, with similar compiler versions and hard disk speeds, you can rather well conclude that systems benchmarked with XP pro X64 or Server 2003 run at about the same speed. There may have been a slight difference when it comes to integer math, but floating point was not perceptibly different.

There is a smaller but also worthwhile pool of results from vista, and honestly...the floating point results are quite comparable between XP64, Server 2003, and Vista. I didn't very strongly analyze the integer math, since I'm not as interested in integer performance (my simulations use mostly floating point math).

There aren't enough results to compare against vista SP1, so I can't really say anything about that.

The majority of the results are from SUSE linux, and this flavor of linux very consistently runs the fastest. There is a small pool of RedHat linux, and interestingly, RedHat runs about as fast as the windows systems.

Please keep in mind that the spec.org benchmarks are PROFESSIONAL quality benchmarks, where it's people's full time job to ensure that the results are truly representative and comparable among systems, whereas most of the other benchmarks posted do not have this guarantee. I have seen one other impressive benchmark (which I don't have the link to right now, but was posted in this forum) done across Vista 64 & 32, server 2008 64 & 32, XP 64 & 32, and 2003 64 & 32 using some other benchmarking suite, and it was quite suprisingly thorough. This benchmark quite adequately shows what I have claimed here (and likely more accurately, since there is no generalization required in his benchmark).

29 October 08 at 2:42 PM

# Draak13 said:

I forgot to mention that, all that previously said, it likely is the case that this OS seems "snappier" because it has less background junk (which some of you seem to be installing back anyway), and thus cut back on resources, speeding things up, etc...

The way that I have dealt with this slowdown is to eliminate my paging file. I use vista 64, and ram is cheap these days; The great thing about a 64 bit system is that it can actually see all 8 gigs of ram that I have. After 8 gigs of this stuff, you can delete your paging file, and enjoy the same "snappiness" that you would otherwise get from using this windows 2008 workstation approach, with less compatability issues and all of the extra junk that we all seem to enjoy (but complain about).

It totally rocks, I am using W2k8/X64 Datacenter (believe it or not, but that was the only version that actually did not crash during setup on a 4GB HP 8710p laptop). I am an IT consultant, constantly running from client LAN to client LAN. I am amazed by the portable support of W2K8, wireless, dual screen, hibernate and move from LAN to LAN. The only time it needs to restart is after the damn updates. But for the rest, It’s fast, reliable and runs everything that I need from day to day. Office, SQL server2008, Outlook, VI client. For the few apps that I don’t trust on W2k8, just because they pollute the OS too much (like Cisco VPN Client, and some proprietary HP Presales tools) I have a small Windows XP VM running in VMware server 2.0. But in general, W2k8 is the BEST windows OS I’ve seen so far.
