Assignment on Windows 2000 ASSIGNMENT ON WINDOWS 2000 Name.....……………………Abhishek Chaudhary Roll No….…………….……………………..……...B-09 Branch….Computer Science & Engineering Introduction What is Windows 2000? Windows 2000 is an established commercial version of Microsoft’s evolving Windows operating system. Previously called Windows NT5.0, Microsoft emphasizes that Windows 2000 is evolutionary and “Built on NT Technology”. It is designed to appeal to small business and professional users as well as to the more technical and larger business market for which the NT was designed. Assignment on Windows 2000 WHAT IS WINDOWS 2000 ? Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It was produced by Microsoft and released to manufacturing on December 15, 1999 and launched to retail on February 17, 2000. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. It is succeeded by Windows XP (released in October 2001) and Windows Server 2003 (released in April 2003). During development, Windows 2000 was known as Windows NT 5.0. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released: Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server; the latter was both released to manufacturing and launched months after the other editions. While each edition of Windows 2000 was targeted at a different market, they shared a core set of features, 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 increased support for different languages and locale information. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family has additional features, including the ability to provide 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 through either a manual 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. Page 1 Assignment on Windows 2000 WHAT IS WINDOWS 2000 ? Microsoft marketed Windows 2000 as the most secure Windows version ever at the time; however, it became the target of a number of high-profile virus attacks such as Code Red and Nimda. For ten years after its release, it continued to receive patches for security vulnerabilities nearly every month until reaching the end of its lifecycle on July 13, 2010. Although they did leave two security issues in the TCP/IP stack that were discovered in 2009 (while Windows 2000 was still in Extended Support) unpatched, claiming that it would be too much effort to back port the amount of code necessary to fix them. These issues were also not fixed in Windows XP. Microsoft suggested turning on the firewall. Page 2 Assignment on Windows 2000 H I S T O RY Windows 2000 is a continuation of the Microsoft Windows NT family of operating systems, replacing Windows NT 4.0. Originally called Windows NT 5.0, then Windows NT 2000, Microsoft changed the name to Windows 2000 on 27 October 1998. It is also the first Windows version that has been released without a code name, though Windows 2000 Service Pack 1 was codenamed “Asteroid” and Windows 2000 64-bit was codenamed "Janus” (not to be confused with Windows 3.1, which had the same codename). The first beta for Windows 2000 was released in September 1997 and several further betas followed until Beta 3 which was released on 29 April 1999. During the development, there was a DEC Alpha build of Windows 2000 which was abandoned sometime after RC1 after Compaq announced they'd dropped Windows NT support for Alpha. From here, Microsoft issued three release candidates between July and November 1999, and finally released the operating system to partners on 12 December 1999. The public could buy the full version of Windows 2000 on 17 February 2000. Three Days before this event, which Microsoft advertised as "a standard in reliability", a leaked memo from Microsoft reported on by Mary Jo Foley revealed that Windows 2000 had "over 63,000 potential known defects". After Foley's article was published, Microsoft blacklisted her for a considerable time: InformationWeek summarized the release "our tests show the successor to NT 4.0 is everything we hoped it would be. Of course, it isn't perfect either." Wired News later described the results of the February launch as “lackluster”. Novell criticized Microsoft's Active Directory, the new directory service architecture as less scalable or reliable than its own Novell Directory Services (NDS) alternative. Windows 2000 was first planned to replace both Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0. However, that changed later. Instead, an updated version of Windows 98 called Windows 98 Second Edition was released in 1999 and Windows Me was released in late 2000. Close to the release of Windows 2000 Service Pack 1, Page 3 Assignment on Windows 2000 H I S T O RY Microsoft released Windows 2000 Datacenter Server, targeted at large-scale computing systems with support for 32 processors, on 29 September 2000. On or shortly before 12 February 2004, "portions of the Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0 source code were illegally made available on the Internet". The source of the leak remains unannounced. Microsoft issued the following Statement: “Microsoft source code is both copyrighted and protected as a trade secret. As Such, it is illegal to post it, make it available to others, download it or use it.” Despite the warnings, the archive containing the leaked code spread widely on the file-sharing networks. On 16 February 2004, an exploit “allegedly discovered by an individual studying the leaked source code” for certain versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer was reported. Page 4 Assignment on Windows 2000 NEW AND UPDATED FEAT URE S Windows 2000 introduced many of the new features of Windows 98 and Windows 98 SE into the NT line, I will introduce them to you. 1.

Network adapter (required for network Network adapter. installation). Source: Microsoft TechNet Page 6 Assignment on Windows 2000 EDITIONS Microsoft released various editions of Windows 2000 for different markets and business needs: Professional, Server, Advanced Server and Datacenter Server. Each was packaged separately. 1. Windows 2000 Professional was designed as the desktop operating system for businesses and power users. It is the client version of Windows 2000. It offers greater security and stability than many of the previous Windows desktop operating systems. It supports up to two processors, and can address up to 4 GB of RAM. The system requirements are a Pentium processor (or equivalent) of 133 MHz or greater, at least 32 MB of RAM, 650 MB of hard drive space, and a CD-ROM drive (recommended: Pentium II, 128 MB of RAM, 2 GB of hard drive space, and CD-ROM drive). 2. Windows 2000 Server shares the same user interface with Windows 2000 Professional, but contains additional components for the computer to perform server roles and run infrastructure and application software. A significant new component introduced in the server versions is Active Directory, which is an enterprise-wide directory service based onLDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol). Additionally, Microsoft integrated Kerberos network authentication, replacing the often-criticised NTLM (NT LAN Manager) authentication system used in previous versions. This also provided a purely transitive- trust relationship between Windows 2000 domains in a forest (a collection of one or more Windows 2000 domains that share a common schema, configuration, and global catalog, being linked with two-way transitive trusts). Furthermore, Windows 2000 introduced a Domain Name Server which allows dynamic registration of IP addresses. Windows 2000 Server supports up to 4 processors and 4GB of RAM, with a minimum requirement of 128 MB of RAM and 1 GB hard disk space, however requirements may be higher depending on installed components. 3. Windows 2000 Advanced Server is a variant of Windows 2000 Server operating system designed for medium-to-large businesses. It offers clustering infrastructure for high availability and scalability of applications and services, including support for up to 8 CPUs, a main memory amount of up to 8 gigabytes (GB) on Physical Address Extension (PAE) systems and the ability to do 8-way SMP.

  • MICROSOFT WINDOWS Early Versions Main Articles: Windows 1.0
    MICROSOFT WINDOWS Early versions Main articles: Windows 1.0, Windows 2.0, and Windows 2.1x Windows 1.0, the first version, released in 1985 The history of Windows dates back to September 1981, when Chase Bishop, a computer scientist, designed the first model of an electronic device and project "Interface Manager" was started. It was announced in November 1983 (after the Apple Lisa, but before the Macintosh) under the name "Windows", but Windows 1.0 was not released until November 1985.[5] Windows 1.0 achieved little popularity and was to compete with Apple's own operating system. Windows 1.0 is not a complete operating system; rather, it extends MS-DOS. The shell of Windows 1.0 is a program known as the MS- DOS Executive. Components included Calculator, Calendar, Cardfile, Clipboard viewer, Clock, Control Panel, Notepad, Paint, Reversi, Terminal and Write. Windows 1.0 does not allow overlapping windows. Instead all windows are tiled. Only modal dialog boxes may appear over other windows. Windows 2.0 was released in December 1987 and was more popular than its predecessor. It features several improvements to the user interface and memory management.[citation needed] Windows 2.03 changed the OS from tiled windows to overlapping windows. The result of this change led to Apple Computer filing a suit against Microsoft alleging infringement on Apple's copyrights.[6][7] Windows 2.0 also introduced more sophisticated keyboard shortcuts and could make use of expanded memory. Windows 2.1 was released in two different versions: Windows/286 and Windows/386. Windows/386 uses the virtual 8086 mode of Intel 80386 to multitask several DOS programs and the paged memory model to emulate expanded memory using available extended memory.

  • The Definitive Guide to Windows Installer Technology for System
    The Definitive Guidetmtm To Windows Installer Technology for System Administrators Darwin Sanoy and Jeremy Moskowitz Introduction Introduction to Realtimepublishers by Sean Daily, Series Editor The book you are about to enjoy represents an entirely new modality of publishing and a major first in the industry. The founding concept behind Realtimepublishers.com is the idea of providing readers with high-quality books about today’s most critical technology topics—at no cost to the reader. Although this feat may sound difficult to achieve, it is made possible through the vision and generosity of a corporate sponsor who agrees to bear the book’s production expenses and host the book on its Web site for the benefit of its Web site visitors. It should be pointed out that the free nature of these publications does not in any way diminish their quality. Without reservation, I can tell you that the book that you’re now reading is the equivalent of any similar printed book you might find at your local bookstore—with the notable exception that it won’t cost you $30 to $80. The Realtimepublishers publishing model also provides other significant benefits. For example, the electronic nature of this book makes activities such as chapter updates and additions or the release of a new edition possible in a far shorter timeframe than is the case with conventional printed books. Because we publish our titles in “real-time”—that is, as chapters are written or revised by the author—you benefit from receiving the information immediately rather than having to wait months or years to receive a complete product.

It has been the most widely used web browser since 1999, attaining a peak of about 95% usage share during 2002 and 2003 with IE5 and 6 but steadily declining since, despite the introduction of IE7. Microsoft spent over 100 million dollars (USD) a year [1] in the late 1990s, with over 1000 people working on IE by 1999. [2] Internet Explorer was first released as part of the add-on package Plus! for Windows 95. Later versions were available as free downloads, or in service packs, and included in the OEM service releases of Windows 95 and later versions of Windows. The most recent release is version 7.0, which is available as a free update for Windows XP Service Pack 2, and Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 or later, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008.

  • Course Name : BCA / MCA
    Course Name : BCA / MCA Subject Name: Operating Systems Prepared by Assistant Professor’s Team of Microtek College of Management & Technology Under Guidance of Dr. Pankaj Rajhans An Alumni of IIT-Delhi President & Executive Director Microtek College of Management & Technology Jaunpur & Varanasi (U.P) LINUX The command line can be an intimidating and unforgiving environment. Unlike working in graphical environments, it's not entirely clear what commands one must execute in a terminal to accomplish a given task. Couple this with the fact that the command line does not prevent you from doing things that might cause irreparable damage to your system, and it becomes clear why many people never take the time to learn how to use it. Despite the hidden dangers and uncertainty faced by new users (known jokingly as "newbies" in the technology industry), you shouldn't fear the command line. Armed with the information in this book you will acquire the skills necessary to become more proficient in the command line environment. You will discover that most Unix, Linux, and BSD systems share the same core architecture, with only a few subtle differences. After learning the basic architecture and commands of Unix, Linux, and BSD systems you will easily be able to transition between the different platforms. To aid the learning process, I recommend downloading one or more of the free operating systems listed below to practice the commands in this guide. Linux is the recommended starting point for beginners. It has support for all the latest hardware and provides a user- friendly installation process. Brief History of Unix, Linux, and BSD Unix was created in 1969 at Bell Laboratories which was, at the time, a research and development division of AT&T.

  • Rethinking Software Tying
    Note Rethinking Software Tying Renato Mariottit This Note proposes a new method of product definition in software tying cases. "Tying" is a refusal to sell one product unless the buyer also purchases another product and is a method by which firms are thought to be able to use their power over one product to obtain power over another. Tying is the principal antitrust allegation-brought against Microsoft, which refuses to sell its operating system (Windows) unless the buyer also receives a copy of its web browser (Internet Explorer). Yet Microsoft claims that it has integrated Internet Explorer into Windows, creating a single integrated product. But in order to have tying, two separate products must exist. This dilemma has been dubbed the "single-product problem " and has required courts to define products before conducting further analysis. · This Note explains why traditional methods of product definition cannot be applied to the software industry. The software industry not only requires a new method of defining products, however; it also, by its very nature, transforms the role of the court in software tying cases. After outlining a theory of software evolution, this Note presents a new method of evaluating integrated software and applies it to three recent examples, including the current case against Microsoft. The new test reveals that the combination ofInternet Explorer and Windows should not be considered a single integrated product, because the bundling harms consumer welfare.
