Overview of Windows 2K Server
Microsoft's Windows 2000 Server is founded on the strong design of Windows NT technology, integrating standards-based directory, application, networking, file, and print services with high reliability, easy manageability, and support for the cost-effective networking hardware to provide a stable foundation for integrating your corporate information system with the Internet.

Features of Windows 2000 Server Not on Microsoft's Windows NT
Microsoft's Windows 2000 Server provides a wide array of powerful features not available on Microsoft's Windows NT servers. Highlights include:

  • Microsoft's Windows 2000 Server, Windows Advanced Server, and Microsoft's Windows Datacenter Server are the basis for all Microsoft's .NET servers.
  • Microsoft's Windows 2K Server builds upon the fundamental stability of the Windows NT OS platform that was first published in 1993, and is used in hundreds of millions of applications worldwide.
  • Significantly reduced management costs due to the ability to run desktop computers, notebooks and servers with the same underlying operating system.
  • Administration and system protection utilities to lower the expense and enhance the reliability of Windows 2K and Windows XP desktop computers by using centralized user policies, rights and setups. Restraining unauthorized users from installing programs on their notebook or workstation, or even restricting them from web access for users that have no business with such tools, can be a huge efficiency gain for both your users and your network support group.
  • Compared to prior releases of Windows, such as Windows 98 or Windows NT, Microsoft's Windows Server 2000 is a highly stable environment to host applications.
  • An integrated protection and password model that builds upon a cohesive directory structure provides seamless and safe access for local users, mobile or off-site users, at-home workers, and web users.
  • Significantly improved server and desktop management tools that ease the hassle of maintaining servers and workstations, allowing support staff resources to improve the service quality and attentiveness to clients.
  • Broad hardware and software compatibility thanks to being the “Standard” OS.
  • High quality support for remote access users, at-home workers, and virtual clients, and particularly for users who are sometimes at the office but require the same level of efficiency when they are mobile. Functions such as offline server folders allow users seamless availability of information even when they are working offline.
  • service continuity functionality, such as disk mirroring, distributed files, and server clustering, maximize server uptime and user efficiency.
