Hi All,

I am in a client discussion stage and the client is a huge enterprise going for SAP installation.

In order to implement SAP Netweaver 2004 S, the recommended OS is Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition?

I need to be equipped about the difference feature wise between Enterprise and Standard Edition.

Any kind of help is really appreciated.

It is a bit urgent.

So Tribe please come together and help me out.

Points will be rewarded for the timely help.

Thanks

Anila

as you might see, the standard edition of win2k3 only supports up to 4 gb of ram, 4 cpus and it seems that there will be not 64bit edition...so, these might be some reasons, why sap recommends the enterprise edition

... mainly for the size of the server(s).

See Note 313347 - Windows editions and memory support

We also install the same editions on DEV and TEST and PROD, even if we have tiny non-clustered DEV machines compared to PROD landscape with MSCS and additional application servers to have a "more similiar" software base.
