Windows Server 2003
Microsoft's Windows Server 2003 operating system provides a reliable, enterprise-class computing platform that brings important enhancements over the earlier Microsoft Windows 2000 Server. These powerful features build on the core of reliability, expandability and protection offered by Microsoft Windows 2000, making Windows 2003 Server faster, more reliable, and more protected than previous releases of Windows server operating system.
The Microsoft Windows Server 2003 family is available in four versions:
- Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, is a dependable server OS for the typical requirements of companies of all sizes, offering an efficient solution for file and peripheral sharing, protected Internet access, centralized desktop application management, and a powerful integrated network among employees, associates, and customers.
- Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, is the platform best suited for big organizations and for small and medium-size companies to create, deliver, and secure robust applications, web-based services, and network architecture.
- Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition, is best suited for business-critical applications that demand high levels of scalability and availability.
- Windows Server 2003, Web Edition, is designed for hosting web sites, while maintaining the basic features that support advanced reliability, manageability, and security.
Windows Server 2003 offers a multitude of powerful capabilities and enhanced functionality over Windows Server 2000. Improvements include:
- Active Directory performance and versatility is quicker and more dependable over marginal WAN links thanks to more efficient synchronization and replication plus caching of credentials in remote office domain controllers.
- Improvements to the Distributed File System (DFS) and Encrypting File System allow for powerful, versatile file access and storage.
- Enhanced Windows Management Instrumentation providers and command-line utilities for system jobs give IT managers great granular control.
- To make storage and archiving simpler, Windows Server 2003 incorporates the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS), which provides point-in-time backups of networked shares. Users can easily access previous versions of their work through the Windows Explorer by right-clicking on a name or icon.
- Windows Server 2003 is optimized for hosting XML-based Web services as a result of integrated support of Microsoft .NET and XML with the inclusion of the .NET Framework.
- Significant networking enhancements in Windows Server 2003 include Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPoE), and Internet Protocol Security over Network Address Translation.
- Common Language Runtime (CLR) protects systems from ill-intended or badly written software.
- Credential Management provides a secure store of client credentials, such as passwords and public key infrastructure certificates. This allows a common sign-on experience for users, even roaming users.
- The Encrypting File System is the technique used to hold encrypted files on NTFS volumes. Encrypted files and folders are easy to use as they look exactly the same as any other file: transparent to legitimate users but unavailable to anyone else. The Encrypting File System is especially beneficial for mobile users who may work under a greater risk of PC loss or theft.
- Advanced compatibility with VPN environments, including a remote access server that provides both dial-up and virtual private network links, offering versatility and protection for remote connectivity.
- 802.1x wireless network support offers protection and speed improvements for wireless LANs. These include automatic key management and user authentication and authorization in advance of LAN access. Fast recovery practically eliminates packet corruption and interruption over slow wireless links.
- Headless server allows the capability to install and administer a computer without a monitor, VGA display adaptor, keyboard, or mouse. Support for management controllers and ports enables servers to be controlled even if a system has crashed.
- Auto-configuration for a variety of networks provides the mobile PC client transparent operations on both office and home environments without having to manually reconfigure TCP/IP settings.
- Voice over IP (VoIP) enhances Remote Assistance by supporting a voice session when the Remote Help Connection is established.
