   Actually, not I haven't.  Just easier to run everthing on one box for me   
   instead of load balancing and spreading WINServer across my network that way.   
   Doing so would also require additional Windows licenses.

   Hmm.  I seem to recall that this is not the case with pre-R2 versions of   
   Windows Server 2008 (32-bit), but I may be mistaken as it has been a while   
   since I ran that configuration.  But, I do seem to recall my doors working   
   then, too.

   I think it depends on where you root door path is set up.  If you ARE intent   
   on running things this way, I would highly recommend running running your   
   doors from a network share that has the same drive letter mapped to it on all   
   computers that WINServer will be touching (so that wcOnline will still run the   
   doors no matter which computer it is running on).   
      
   At least in theory.
