Sure:

- [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/windows.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/windows.html)

But according to [Support Matrix | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix) Windows Server 2003 is not supported. Not saying that it won't work but we don't test it and we don't have specific guide for so old OS.

> also how much host space required ?

It depends. Mainly on your dataset (volume, what you index and how).
