I ran the OSRS scripts on W2K for about 6 months and had no end of bizarre
errors, some occurring often and some rarely, but all without any reasonable
explanation. I finally took the plunge and ran up a Linux server. The
learning curve was a little steeper than W2K, but since I brought the new
server online I have had a total of 0 problems.
In the end, it has saved me so much time I can't believe I didn't do it
sooner. The server is soooo much easier to administer. What I learned:
Windows = easy to learn, hard to administer. UNIX = Hard to learn, easy to
administer. In the long run, I would suggest getting away from Windows to
solve most of your problems and to greatly simplify all administrative
tasks.
