MS Windows Server 2003
Microsoft's Windows Server 2003 operating system offers a reliable, enterprise-class computing platform that brings significant enhancements over the earlier Windows 2K Server. These powerful features strengthen the foundation of availability, scalability and security introduced in Windows Server 2000, making Microsoft Windows 2003 more efficient, more dependable, and more secure than previous versions of Windows server platform.

The MS Windows Server 2003 product line comprises four versions:

  • Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, is a reliable server platform for the typical requirements of companies of all sizes, providing an effective answer for data and peripheral sharing, secure Internet access, centralized PC application deployment, and a rich integrated environment for workers, partners, and customers.
  • Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, is the OS of choice for large enterprises and for small and medium-size companies to develop, deploy, and secure reliable applications, web-based services, and infrastructure.
  • Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition, is engineered for business-critical applications that demand high levels of expandability and fault tolerance.
  • Windows Server 2003, Web Edition, is intended for hosting web sites, while retaining the core features that provide advanced dependability, manageability, and security.
Benefits of MS Windows Server 2003
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 provides a multitude of productive features and enhanced functionality over Windows Server 2000. Improvements include:
  • Active Directory performance and flexibility is faster and more dependable over marginal wide area network links thanks to faster synchronization and replication plus caching of credentials in remote office domain controllers.
  • Enhancements to the Distributed File System and Encrypting File System allow for powerful, versatile file access and storage.
  • Enhanced Windows Management Instrumentation providers and command-line tools for server jobs give IT managers exceptional fine-grain control.
  • To make file storage and backup simpler, Windows Server 2003 includes the Volume Shadow Copy Service, which provides point-in-time copies of networked shares. Users can easily recover previous versions of their work through the Windows Explorer by right-clicking on a name or icon.
  • Windows Server 2003 is ideal for hosting XML-based Web services as a result of native support of .NET and XML with the inclusion of the .NET Framework.
  • Significant networking improvements in Windows Server 2003 include Internet Protocol version 6, Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPoE), and Internet Protocol Security over Network Address Translation (NAT).
  • Common Language Runtime safeguards systems from ill-intended or poorly designed software.
  • Credential Management offers a secure depository of user credentials, including passwords and public key infrastructure (X.509) certificates. This allows a single sign-on experience for users, including roaming users.
  • The Encrypting File System is the technology used to hold encrypted files on NTFS volumes. Encrypted files are simple to work with because they look just like any other file or folder: transparent to authorized users but inaccessible to anyone else. EFS is particularly beneficial for mobile clients who may face a greater risk of computer theft.
  • Advanced compatibility with virtual private network (VPN) environments, such as a remote access server that supports both dial-up and virtual private network links, offering flexibility and protection for remote connectivity.
  • 802.1x wireless network support offers protection and speed improvements for wireless LANs. These include programmed key management and user authentication/authorization prior to LAN access. Fast recovery practically does away with packet corruption and interruption over high-latency wireless network connections.
  • Headless server provides the ability to install and administer a computer without a monitor, VGA adaptor, keyboard, or mouse. Compatibility with management controllers and management ports allows servers to be managed even when a system has died.
  • Auto-configuration for multiple networks offers the mobile PC user seamless operations on both office and home networks without having to manually redo TCP/IP configurations.
  • Voice over IP improves Remote Assistance by enabling a voice session when the Remote Help Connection is initiated.
