You can install "Bitcoin-Core" (including Bitcoin-Qt) on a window server 2008. It requires initial syncing and verification of around 40GB of data. So it might take 1-2 days until you can use it.

Other option would be to install a SPV client like "Electrum" (Python based) or "Multibit HD" (Java / bitcoinj based). They can be used immediately but they won't give you the same level of privacy.

Thanks, I had to look up what a SPV client was, found it here: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/4649/what-is-an-spv-client

Ok, thanks I successfully installed Multi-bit HD on the sever and synced the wallet to a cloud service. – Off The Gold – 2015-08-18T21:21:52.750
