I'm interesting in running a cloud based server and to run Now SMS on that server. I was wondering if a 32 bit or 64 bit, windows server 2008 standard edition would work, or if one would work better than the other.

Hi Brian,

Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition will work fine.

NowSMS currently does not include any 64-bit code, so either 32-bit or 64-bit will work.

Be advised, however, that Windows Server 2008 R2, the updated release that came out in late 2009, only comes in a 64-bit version.

I'd go with the 64-bit version, because I'd expect it to be more up-to-date with patches.
