Re: How to deal with the license for Windows Server 2003 SP2 or Windows Server 2008 if I purchase a DELL server
Dell does offer some servers without an OS. Keep in mind though, the server
is for development only if you're using an MSDN subscription. Usually the
MSDN OS licenses are not for production use so if you need to put the server
into a scenario where it will host production code, you'll need to buy a
real Windows license.
Hope this helps,

Re: How to deal with the license for Windows Server 2003 SP2 or Windows Server 2008 if I purchase a DELL server
Thank you very much for your prompt answer. It's solely for development. As
far as I know DELL has some DELL specific installation media with
appropriate drivers or the like. As far as I know they also have some kind
of software installation service centre which may drive installation in some
comprehensive way. Do you know if it's possible to get such conveniences
while using the MSDN license?
Best regards,
Henrik Dahl

Also note that the server may only be used by MSDN subscribers (and
their subscription must include the software being used). So if you
have other people using the server for development purposes, then
they'll need MSDN subscriptions too - or just buy the retail software.
