. . . and customers :)


Win2k Servers are really simple to use. However, you may want to go with a host that is willing to hold your hand a little bit more in the beginning.

Also, (IMO) most of the Windows control panels suck.

Although I have not used it but heard good things about MailEnable http://www.mailenable.com/ . It has a nice price too.

As far as Control Panel, I believe most would use Terminal Service which comes with W2K or Win XP to remote access the server.

Oops, I misread your initial posting and have thought that you are managing the server yourself.

To try something familiar, you could take a look at Ensim , they do have a ready Windows Control Panel which you could use.

Have you looked into Ensim WEBppliance for Windows?

I have first hand knowledge on Ensim. I've also tried a number of others... IMHO Ensim is the only Contrl Panel for Windows that is stable. You have the option to add on MailMax + MailMaxWEB ($$), wihich can be controlled within Ensim or you can leave MailMax out and use something Like MailEnable Pro or Merak.
