Strikeman 0 Posted March 2, 2000 So I installed Win2k Professional the other day. So by today I was just about done setting up all my software, setting up the users accounts ect. So I get to installing my Visual Studio stuff and all goes well. So I figure Ill see how IIS 5 works. So I start up VisInterDev and make a sample project. I then goto IIS Admin and goto the Directory Security. Since I don't want to publish this page to the whole WWW. But low and behold the IP Restrictions area is greyed out...WTF. So I do a F1 and what does it say...IP Restrictions feature is only available in Win2k Server...ACK. I know it was in the Beta, and thats pretty lame of Microsoft. I had no idea they did that. I have Server but Its such a pain in the butt casue I just installed Pro and everthing is going fine except for that IIS blunder. So my question is can I upgrade to Server without doing a wipe of my Professional, Can I just upgrade from within Pro? And should I even be using server? I just use 2k for my devstuff, along with the misc stuff, Word processing and surfing the web. And help would be appreciated. Strikeman Share this post Link to post
Wintermute 0 Posted March 3, 2000 Wow, thats some real b.s. I've finally got my Win2k Pro system running the way I want it and was just about to install IIS 5, but if what you're saying is unresolvable I just may forget the whole thing. Anyone know if it would be possible to install the IIS 5 from the Win2k Server CD onto Professional so that all the features would be enabled?? Share this post Link to post
