windows 2000 server is obsolete..... it's not a good choice from BIS to have choosen this operating system for dedicated server.....
server providers do not purpose this old distrib.

Yes it's compatible to Windows Server 2003. 32bit and 64bit.

I'm sure.

We are running an ArmA dedicated server on Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition 64bit. Friends of us are running an ArmA dedicated server on Windows Server 2003 Web Edition 32bit.

We run on 2003 Standard as well.

BIS doesn't have a lot of documentation on a lot of topics. That is why you see a lot of community sites and tutorials.

must you activate a specific Windows server 2003 service to permit dedicated server to be available ? (the firewall was down during the tests)
