70-290 - can I use standard?

[eeps24]

my Microsoft press book came with a evaluation 2003 server enterprise edition... the thing is, i already have a fully licensed copy of 2003 standard.... while going through my Microsoft press book, can I follow along with 2003 standard or is it best to use the enterprise edition they provided?

I think it is best to use the cd that came with it, but to be sure, you could make it a dualboot.

Keep your standard version on there and install Enterprise next to it for the duration of the course.

Probably 85% of what you need in 2003 can also be found in standard, just a few things that you would really need EE for.

I think EE has support for more cpu's and ram, but you won't get to that limit, unless you have one of them skulltrail things or a dual quadcore Opteron or Xeon.

Yes you can use either, enterprise has some extra stuff (supports more memory, cpus, radius clients, etc)

You should be fine with whatever you pick.
