Hi,

This is now old information - at the time, Hosters were not allowed to rent Windows Server Datacenter edition and provide it to their customers for use in an authenticated scenario i.e. integrated with Active Directory. The only option in that scenario was Enterprise edition, which wasn't as attractive because each licence only gave you 4 free Guest OS's instead of unlimited like Datacenter editon.

Now however, this has changed, and there is more info here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/D/4/3D42BDC2-6725-4B29-B75A-A5B04179958B/Windows_Server_SPLA.docx

Cheers,

Matt

i'm read this doc, but not understand a one.

what is "Anonymous Datacenter" and "the guest operating systems need to run in unauthenticated mode"?

if i'm right - Datacenter host and virtual machines on it can't be AD Server

They can join to Windows domain as member? They can accept connections from domain users? or they must be standalone servers with local users only?

If you can give link to the official Microsoft answer on this - i'm be very glad.

very thanx, sorry for bad english.

Great guide. At last something out of MS we can all understand, thanks for sharing.
