• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Windows Server 2008 Questions...

Regular Pleskian
How many of you have Plesk/Sitebuilder installed on a Windows Server 2008 x64 machine?

I'm just now setting up, installing, Windows Server 2008 Standard x64 on two Dell PowerEdge 2950 machines, and I don't like it one bit. I don't know if its because
the icons i'm so used to seeing from win2k3 aren't in the same spot or what.

I had two machines running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x86(32bit) and I loved it. The servers were getting old and I got two 2950 machines(the old ones were Dell PowerEdge 2650's).

2008 seems a lot different, and I can't find on Plesk what or what not to install as to components. 2008 seems to have a mind of its own, a whole lot more than win2k3 does, and trys to figure out what you want.

Win2k8 seems to be lacking a lot. For one thing, no desktops, no backgrounds, horrible color(its hard on my eyes), and there isn't as far as I can tell any checkmark in the network adapters to 'show adapter in systray'. I always turned this on so I saw the activity.

Ok, I'm talking to much, sorry. What I wanted to see was how many people are running Plesk on a Win2k8 machine in 64 bit? And, how does it perform? And, does anyone know how to setup win2k8 before installing Plesk. What components to and not to install.

Thanks!

Dave.
