Installing Windows NT Server V4

Windows 2000- Installation Instructions Lab Project (LP)-1 MIS 435 (ver 1/9/2018)

This assignment will help you explore various aspects of Windows 2000 O/S and provide you an overview of Windows 2000. It is not expected to provide you all the skills required to master Windows 2000. I will leave it to each student to decide how much he/she would like to use this assignment to learn Windows 2000. With a good textbook you could spend quite SOME TIME to learn all the aspects of Windows 2000. The bottom line is INTEREST and TIME. I expect this assignment to take a minimum of 3-4 hrs (optimistic !!!). So plan ahead and have sufficient time allocated. My requirement for the assignment is minimal. You decide how much time you want to spend depending on your interest. Answer the questions as you go through the write-up. When you submit the assignment I require you to type the question and the answer underneath its question along with all Windows 2000 printouts and screen prints. Please do not put the printouts in the end as appendix. You may cut and paste from this file and other files that you stored your outputs to create a final answer file.
