mendipjohn Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Fair differences between the two, to put it simply, 2003 server is based on the same technology as 2000, but with feature and performance enhancements.2003 is easier to configure for its most popular roles, with more straight forward wizards etc. You are also blessed with XP style icons, and I believe for a real modern touch, the XP Luna interface can be enabled.Both OS provide popular Windows networking technologies such as:Active Directory, Internet Information Services, Windows Media Services, Domain Names System, DCHP server, File & printer sharing, remote access & routing etc etc, although 2003 has more features or options.Both come in a range of versions (there maybe more?).Windows 2000 ServerWindows 2000 Advanced ServerWindows 2000 Datacenter ServerWindows Server 2003 StandardWindows Server 2003 EnterpriseWindows Small Business Server 2003Both OS then support additional software for extended functionality such as MS Exchange Server or MS Host Integration Server. It can be very complicated one thing is for sure though, dont touch Windows NT Server with a barge pole, its so antiquated now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
