With the help of Sun's VirtualBox, I've been toying with Win2k again.
But I'm curious about something... what are the differences between:

Windows 2000 Professional
Windows 2000 Server
Windows 2000 Advanced Server
Windows 2000 Data Center Edition

All four, btw, run just fine from within Sun's VirtualBox software, as
does Windows Server 2003.

/Doc - can you tell I'm bored yet?

You didn't look at *all* did you?

I found this by putting "windows 2000 versions" in the *main* search at
www.microsoft.com

Once upon a time in a magickal land far far away the being called [
DocJeff ] stirred from its deep slumber and pronounced to usenet:

: But I'm curious about something... what are the differences between:
:

no idea what the differences are but I ran Windows 2000 Pro on a radio
station's box run by an idiot who would fill up the hard drive to literally
1Mb of free space and it never fell over.
Best OS micro$oft ever released IMO.

convinced that anyone who might pass by this doorway to our little

kitty he claims to be in his interminable signature line ... he
wanders about and stops occassionally at the stoop here to spray and
defecate, then moves on and is gone for a few days or so ... no doubt
spraying, defecating and retching up hairballs elsewhere ... then
returns to mark his "territory" again. I realise he is little more
than a malodorous nusiance, but a nuisance nevertheless."

"I went to the Garden of Love,
And saw what I never had seen;
A Chapel was built in the midst,
Where I used to play on the green.

And the gates of this Chapel were shut
And "Thou shalt not," writ over the door;
So I turned to the Garden of Love
That so many sweet flowers bore.

And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tombstones where flowers should be;
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars my joys and desires."

Win2k Server comes with a 5 user license but can handle over a 100
if the hardware allows...
Win2k Server is mostley used for domains and webservers

Windows 2000 Advanced Server
Server for use in domains either as a member, PDC or BDC. Along with
file/print, it handles IIS, SQL Server, and other services.
There is no PDC or BDC within the Win2k family it all runs on Active
Directory,
you can join other servers as active directory partners (other trees in the
forest)
all done under "dcpromo"
