Yes, CS2002 STD only supports to web servers per MSCS_Admin database. You
will first need to remove one, before you can add in your new server. It
would be best to practice this in a test environment to make sure
everything goes smoothly.
-Setup 2 webservers on a single DB
-Remove one of the webservers
-add in your new webserver
This should work fine, but again its important to practice this to work out
any issues

Thanks, James.
I'm actually moving in the "staging" direction as we speak. The thing that
I am struggling with, and really won't know the answer to until I am in the
thick of things, is how, according to Commerce Server Standard, to remove
and/or replace an existing server (web application) in the overall
environment. Because of the fact that I already have two web servers in
place, I'm concerned that CS2002 Std. will "flag" me when I make an attempt
at installing another (I experienced this once when attempting an
additional
BizDesk install in the same environment). I assume this means that I have
to
properly remove or disable whichever web server I am replacing prior to
attempting the deployment of a new one into the environment. It's this
idea
of replacement that I'm concerned about... concerned because I'm not sure
how
it is properly done.
Thanks again for your response and I'll greatly appreciate any additional
insight you might have.
