Overview of Microsoft's Windows 2000 Server
Windows Server 2000 builds on the strong design of Windows NT technology, combining popular directory, application, networking, file, and printing services with proven stability, easy manageability, and compatibility with the mainstream networking appliances to provide a stable foundation for integrating your business with the Internet.

Advantages of Windows 2K Server Unavailable on Microsoft's Windows NT
Windows Server 2000 offers a wide array of powerful functions unavailable on Windows NT systems. Highlights include:

• Windows 2000 Server, Windows Advanced Server, and Windows Datacenter Server are the foundation for all Microsoft's .NET application servers.
• Windows 2000 Server adds to the core dependability of the Windows NT OS platform that was first released in 1993, and is used in hundreds of millions of applications worldwide.
• Greatly reduced support expense due to the ability to power desktop computers, laptops and servers with the identical underlying operating system.
• Administration and system protection tools to lower the expense and enhance the dependability of Windows 2K and Windows XP desktop computers by using centralized user policies, rights and setups. Keeping unauthorized users from putting programs on their notebook or workstation, or even restricting them from web connectivity for users that have no business with such tools, can be a huge productivity advantage for both your clients and your IT services staff.
• Compared to prior releases of Microsoft Windows, such as Windows 98, Microsoft's Windows 2K Server is a highly robust platform to host line-of-business programs.
• A built-in protection and password design that is founded on a uniform directory architecture allows seamless and secure access for onsite users, mobile or off-site users, at-home workers, and web users.
• Significantly enhanced server and workstation management tools that ease the burden of supporting servers and desktops, freeing IT resources to enhance the service level and attentiveness to users.
• Extensive hardware and application compatibility as a result of being the “Standard” OS.
• High quality accommodation for remote access users, at-home workers, and virtual clients, and especially for users who are often at the office but need the identical degree of efficiency when they are on the road. Features such as offline server folders allow users seamless access to information even when they are working offline.
• Fault tolerance features, including disk mirroring, distributed file system, and cluster configurations, maximize server uptime and worker productivity.
