1. Easy and manageable: Now no need of bespectacled computer maestros to carry out the setup of specific server roles. There are rationalized and smooth wizard for every such need.

2. Reliability, Availability, Scalability, and Performance: The shadow copy technology and memory mirroring increases reliability. Scale from a single-processor to 64-way Itanium 2 systems for better scalability. For Terminal, web and Networking services Windows server 2003 is the best bait.

3. More secure: Features like cross-forest trusts in the Microsoft Active Directory service as well as Microsoft .NET Passport integration makes the server the most secure ever till date.

Backup is something which every firm, every person and every technology eyes for. Windows server 2003 does not count over the previous Microsoft servers in terms of security and scalability but also has become more reliable. This technology enables the user to make a copy of the actual volume when a backup is started. Now the data is backed up is free of the original volume and is copied directly from the shadow copy that we have already created. And hence the data remains unaffected from changes (file changes etc.) in original volume because we are using the shadow copy. The only pre requisite to this technology is that you should have a NTFS file system.

Hi Technology lovers,

Hope all are doing great, nice to be back in this blog.

Microsoft has done significant work to improve overall kernel scalability in Windows Server 2003. Systems with upto 32 processors, to define the new scalability on large x86 based and 64-bit systems.

Different processes to analyze workloads, and provide the best performance and scalability,

Coming blogs, i shall discuss about the greater improvements have been made in Scheduling, Memory Management, Kernel Spinlocks, Heap, Processes, Threads, handles, objects and named pipes..

more information coming shortly..

The concept of a forest was first introduced in Windows Server 2000. A forest was a logical and administrative grouping of several windows related domains linked together by a trust relationship and a DNS namespace. The forest allows for easy use of resources that need to be available to users on multiple domains.

There are three forest function levels:
- Windows 2000 (default
Supported domain controlls: Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003

- Windows Server 2003 interim
Supported domain controllers: Windows NT 4.0, Windows Server 2003.

- Windows Server 2003
