tear 0 Posted November 5, 2002 I have placed my server at a friends house because he got a faster internet connection. Is it possible to install .net server over internet? I log in to the server using terminal services. Right now I have win2k server on it. I don't want to upgrade I want to install a fresh copy. I have the .net cd in the servers cd-rom I guess this isn't possible, is it? Share this post Link to post
AndyFair 0 Posted November 5, 2002 erm...no...think about it: if you're logged onto the server in terminal services, then you reboot to start the .NET install...and as soon as you reboot, Terminal Server kicks you off, and you can't get back on because Windows hasn't restarted... The only way to install is in person. AndyF Share this post Link to post

clutch 1 Posted November 5, 2002 If you have the money/resources to get one, you could build a server with a "lights-out" card that has a network jack in it and will allow you to shutdown, start, reboot, and do everything else with system as if you are there with it. All the card needs is its own power via an adapter. I have this on my Compaq DL380 G2, and it works great. However, this is an extreme option that might not be available to you, but I have seen others on this forum using fairly heavy-duty boxes as CS servers at home so you never know...
