Windows 2000 (also referred to as Win2K)
|
|
Windows 2000 (also referred to as
Win2K) is a preemptive, interruptible, graphical and
business-oriented operating system designed to work with either
uniprocessor or symmetric multi-processor computers. It is part
of the Microsoft Windows NT line of operating systems and was
released on February 17, 2000. It was succeeded by Windows XP in
October 2001 and Windows Server 2003 in April 2003. Windows 2000
is classified as a hybrid kernel operating system. |
Four editions of Windows
2000 have been released: Professional, Server,
Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server. Additionally,
Microsoft offered Windows 2000 Advanced Server Limited Edition and
Windows 2000 Datacenter Server Limited Edition, which were released
in 2001 and run on 64-bit Intel Itanium microprocessors.[4] Whilst
all editions of Windows 2000 are targeted to different markets, they
each share a core set of common functionality, including many system
utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console and standard
system administration applications. Support for people with
disabilities was improved over Windows NT 4.0 with a number of new
assistive technologies, and Microsoft included increased support for
different languages and locale information. All versions of the
operating system support the Windows NT file system, NTFS 3.0,[5]
the Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk
storage. The Windows 2000 Server family has additional
functionality, including the ability to provide Active Directory
services (a hierarchical framework of resources) , Distributed File
System (a file system that supports sharing of files) and
fault-redundant storage volumes. Windows 2000 can be installed and
deployed to corporate desktops through either an attended or
unattended installation. Unattended installations rely on the use of
answer files to fill in installation information, and can be
performed through a bootable CD using Microsoft Systems Management
Server, by the System Preparation Tool. Windows 2000 is the last
NT-kernel based version of Microsoft Windows that does not include
Windows Product Activation, although Microsoft later introduced
Windows Genuine Advantage also for Windows 2000.
At the time of its release, Microsoft marketed Windows 2000 as the
most secure Windows version they had ever shipped,[6] however it
became the target of a number of high-profile virus attacks such as
Code Red and Nimda. More than eight years after its release, it
continues to receive patches for security vulnerabilities on a
near-monthly basis.
