There is a 360 day eval of 2K3 availsble free from M$ I would take the advantage of using it, and budget for the lisencing over the next year Running 2k/2k3 Server = Active directory and DNS is a must, the 2K3 server is stable, More secure than 2K and for free right now, it may be your best option.
