Welcome to the site.

You don't need any added protection, but, I am one that believes that one can never be too protected. I use a hardware firewall as well as Windows firewall. The only thing you need to know is make sure the company you colo with has good security. You don't want anyone to have access to your server except the network people. I prefer using a local company so I have physical access to the server when I need it. In case of a hardware failure it's always better to be able to drive a few miles with the replacements then to ship it off somewhere. Downtime is held to a minimum.

What is a Server Core installation? The Server Core installation option is a new option that you can use for installing Windows Server 2008. A Server Core installation provides a minimal environment for running specific server roles, which reduces the maintenance and management requirements and the attack surface for those server roles. A server running a Server Core installation supports the following server roles: Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) DHCP Server DNS Server File Services Hyper-V Print Services Streaming Media Services Web Server (IIS) To accomplish this, the Server Core installation option installs only the subset of the binary files that are required by the supported server roles. For example, the Explorer shell is not installed as part of a Server Core installation. Instead, the default user interface for a server running a Server Core installation is the command prompt. Whats new in the Server Core installation option? The Server Core installation option of Windows Server 2008 requires initial configuration at a command prompt.

You can also manage the server remotely using the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) or command-line tools that support remote use. Who should use this guide? The target audience for the Server Core installation option of Windows Server 2008 includes: IT planners and analysts who are technically evaluating the product. Enterprise IT planners and designers for organizations. IT professionals who are managing the AD DS, AD LDS, DHCP Server, DNS Server, File Services, Print Services, Streaming Media Services, and Web Server (IIS) roles.

Yes it is the same.

The only thing I could suggest is to check the permissions on the file store. Windows Servers have a modify permission and it seems to override write permissions when changing files.

You're welcome.

Windows 2008 Server Core uses the SCregEdit.wsf script found in C:\Windows\System32 to configure Terminal Services (TS) behavior. TS is the method of remote controlling your Server Core system through Remote Desktop (RDP). The /AR setting applies to Windows Vista/2008 machines. If you want to allow Terminal Services connections to the Windows 2008 server from Windows XP machines, you have to use the /CS switch.

Which ever you choose will work. You could install either x86 64 or x86 32.

You can't run or install x64 software in a 32bit environment. Only way to install is make the dvd bootable. I have burned every build of Windows 2008 while beta testing and not once did any of them not boot. You must have a bad iso.

Encryption should be set by default. I know when I connect to my server it lets me know the connection is secure.
