For 5 users you don't even need a server, just use a desktop OS ... ie
Vista/Win7/XP.

*Q.*  Can I use Windows Web Server 2008 R2 as a file server or a remote
desktop server?

*A.*

No. Windows Web Server 2008 R2 can be used solely to deploy
Internet-accessible front-end Web pages, Web sites, Web applications, Web
services, and POP3 mail serving. For more information, see the Licensing
Windows Web Server 2008
R2<https://mail.google.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/licensing-web-server.aspx>page.

Windows Web Server 2008 R2

2011-03-31 Thread Lewin, Greg
All,

I have a need for a new file server that will only have a few users on it at 
any given time(Under 5 ).
I have an available license for Windows Web Server 2008 R2.I'm looking to 
save money and thought
This might work for the OS.  I have never used this version of Windows before 
and would appreciate any thoughts on whether
Or not this is feasible or am I reaching here.


Thanks

Greg
