Overview of Windows 2K Server
Windows 2000 Server builds on the strengths of Microsoft Windows NT technology, combining popular directory, application, networking, file, and print services with high stability, easy manageability, and support for the cost-effective networking hardware to offer a stable basis for integrating your business with the Internet.

Features of Windows 2000 Server Unavailable on Windows NT
Microsoft's Windows Server 2000 provides a wide range of proven features not available on Windows NT servers. These include:

• Windows 2000 Server, Microsoft's Windows Advanced Server, and Microsoft's Windows Datacenter Server are the basis for all Microsoft's .NET application servers.
• Microsoft's Windows 2000 Server adds to the core stability of the Windows NT operating system that was initially released in 1993, and is used in hundreds of millions of applications globally.
• Significantly reduced management costs as a result of the ability to run desktop computers, laptops and servers with the identical underlying operating system.
• Management and security tools to reduce the expense and improve the dependability of Windows 2000 and Windows XP desktop computers by using centralized user policies, rights and configurations. Restraining unauthorized users from putting software on their notebook or desktop PC, or even restricting them from Internet connectivity for workers that have no need for such tools, can be a huge efficiency advantage for both your clients and your IT services group.
• Compared to previous releases of Windows, such as Windows 98, Windows Server 2000 is a very robust environment to host line-of-business programs.
• An integrated security and password design that is founded on a cohesive directory structure provides transparent and secure access for local clients, mobile or remote users, at-home workers, and web users.
• Greatly enhanced server and workstation management tools that ease the hassle of supporting servers and desktops, allowing support staff personnel to enhance the service level and attentiveness to users.
• Broad hardware and application compatibility thanks to being the “Standard” operating system.
• Excellent support for off-site access users, at-home workers, and virtual clients, and particularly for users that are sometimes at the office but need the same level of efficiency when they are on the road. Functions such as offline server folders give users seamless access to information even when they are working offline.
• High availability functionality, such as disk mirroring, distributed file system, and server clustering, maximize server availability and user productivity.
