I am looking at getting a Windows 2003 Server. But have a few questions. I was thinking of getting the Standard Edition with Ensim.

1. Can you run Microsoft Access databases by default?

2. Can you set it up to run MY-SQL?

3. Ultimately I would like to offer MS-SQL, is it possible to add this to Standard edition and control it through Ensim?

4. How much does a MS-SQL licence cost?

5. Can Windows run PHP?

6. Does anyone have any idea how long the Cpanel Windows Control Panel will take before it is released?

Thanks in advance for help

If you have Ensim, it will set up MySQL and PHP Support so you do not need to worry about that.

Not sure about MS Access but I believe so although I do not use it.

For MS SQL prices, check out http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobu...rlicensing.asp

Does Helm set this up also?

Yes you can query (you don't run) Access databases on 2003.

A single processor license for SQL Server is $5000
