But in 2003 still distinguishes between application and administrative services but installation and management are now consolidated. 2) In Win 2000 server we can apply 620 group policies but in 2003 we can apply nearly 720 so Win2003 server is more secure than win 2000 server. 3) In 2000 we cannot rename domain whereas in 2003 we can rename Domain. 4) In 2000 it supports of 8 processors and 64 GB RAM (In 2000 Advance Server) whereas in 2003 supports up to 64 processors and max of 512GB RAM. 5) 2000 Supports IIS 5.0 and 2003 Supports IIS6.0

6) 2000 doesnt support Dot net whereas 2003 Supports Microsoft .NET 2.0 7) 2000 has Server and Advance Server editions whereas 2003 has Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter and Web server Editions. 8) 2000 doesnt have any 64 bit server operating system whereas 2003 has 64 bit server operating systems (Windows Server 2003 X64 Std and Enterprise Edition)

9) 2000 has basic concept of DFS (Distributed File systems) with defined roots whereas 2003 has Enhanced DFS support with multiple roots. 10) In 2000 there is complexality in administering Complex networks whereas 2003 is easy administration in all & Complex networks. 11) In 2000 we can create 1 million users and in 2003 we can create 1 billion users. 12) In 2003 we have concept of Volume shadow copy service which is used to create hard disk snap shot which is used in Disaster recovery and 2000 doesnt have this service. 13) In 2000 we dont have end user policy management, whereas in 2003 we have a End user policy management which is done in GPMC (Group policy management console). 14) In 2000 we have cross domain trust relation ship and 2003 we have Cross forest trust relationship. 15) 2000 Supports 4-node clustering and 2003 supports 8node clustering. 16) 2003 has High HCL Support (Hardware Compatibility List) issued by Microsoft.

23) IPV6.

2000 supports IPV4 whereas 2003 supports IPV4 and

2003AD:1.2 Million object can be created . 2. It is a new feature available in 2003. 3.Between parent and child, there is built in trust .It is called as transitive trust. 4. Same partitions are there in 2003, but one additional partition called Application directory partition is present. 5. but in 2003 we can apply nearly 720 so Win2003 server is more secure than win 2000 server. 6. Automated System Recovery(ASR) is there -2000AD:-1.Only one million object can be created. 2.Universal group membership is not present. 3. Between parent and child, there is no built in trust .It is called as non-transitive trust. 4. There is only three AD partition, Domain partition, configuration partition, schema partition. 5. In Win 2000 server we can apply 620 group policies . 6. but 2k only Emergency Repair Disk(ERD) is there. But Here the major differance that you need to answer. In windows 2003 server, AD partion is 5 where as in 2k that is 3 The added partion is: 1) Global catelog 2) Application partion. In 2k the Domain operation Roles and only two mode of operation and in Win2k3 there are 4 modes of Domain operation [Native mode, Mixed mode , Itrative mode and windows 2003 mode . "Windows 2000" is also called as "Win2k" . It is an interruptible, business oriented and graphical operating system which was just designed to work along with the "uniprocessor" or "symmetric multi processor 32 bit Intel x86 computers". It is a part of the "Microsoft Windows NT" series of operating systems. It was succeeded by "windows XP" in "windows server 2003". The "Windows 2000 Server" has extra and additional functionality which includes the ability to provide the "Active Directory services". Active directory services is a hierarchical framework of resources. Windows 2000 server also proved Distributed File System (it is a file system which supports file sharing) and storage volumes for fault redundancy. "Windows Server 2000" supports upto four processors, up to four GB of RAM. "Windows 2000 server" is

designed to use for web applications, file servers, print servers etc. Windows 2003 server is a "server operating system". It is created by Microsoft. It is also called as successor of "Windows 2003 server". It's performance is much better than the "Win2k". it can be used as "centralized management tool" for the printers and files. It gives "enhanced quota management". "Windows 2003 server" also includes "compatibility modes" to allow the older applications to run and execute with larger stability. You can have a look at http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_difference_between_windows _2000_server_and_windows_2003_server However,in order to optimize its function, I think you should partition your disks sometimes.http://www.softpedia.com/reviews/windows/EASEUSPartition-Manager-Server--Review-92249.shtml In 2k3 there is stub zone but in 2k it is not there. cross trust & shortcut trust are available only in 2k3.group replication problem was there in 2k but it is removed from 2k3. In 2k you have to create trust between parent & child but in 2k3 the trust between parent & child is automatically created when you create parent & it's child. you can't change the domain name in 2k but in 2k3 we can change domain name. In w3k server inbulid firewall is there. 2k is NT 5.0 2003 is NT5.2 2k supports 16 milion users only 2k3 supports 1 bilion users windows 2k - IIS 5 and windows 2k3 - II6 windows 2k - database size is 16mb and windows 2k3 - database size is 12mb there is a extra features in 2k3 1}VSS 2}domain renaming 3}cross forest trust 4}stub zones in 2k3 AD partion is 5 but 2k AD partion is 3 1. In win 2000 server there is only 10 users can access the shared folder at the same time, but in windows 2003 server we can access N number of users at the same time. 2. We can rename a domain in windows 2003 server whereas in windows 2000 we can not rename the domain

The main difference between 2003 and 2008 is Visualisation, management. In Windows Server 2008, Microsoft is introducing new features and technologies, some of which were not available in Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1), that will help to reduce the power consumption of server and client operating systems, minimize environmental byproducts and increase server efficiency. Microsoft Windows Server 2008 has been designed with energy efficiency in mind, to provide customers with ready and convenient access to a number of new power saving features. It includes updated support for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) processor power management (PPM) features, including support for processor performance states (P-states) and processor idle sleep states on multiprocessor systems. These features simplify power management in Windows Server 2008 (WS08) and can be managed easily across servers and clients using Group Policies. The comparison of windows 2003 and 2008 many features are updated such as security , IIS and RODC. in security it enable outbound firewall as well as inbound, IIS 7 release and Read only Domain controllers. Examples 1. Virtualization 2. Server Core provides the minimum installation required to carry out a specific server role, such as for a DHCP, DNS or print server. 3. Better security 4. Role-based installation 5. Read Only Domain Controllers (RODC) 6. Enhanced terminal services 7. Network Access Protection Microsoft's system for ensuring that clients connecting to Server 2008 are patched, running a firewall and in compliance with corporate security policies. 8. PowerShell Microsoft's new(ish) command line shell and scripting language has proved popular with some server administrators. 9. IIS 10. Bitlocker System drive encryption can be a sensible security measure for servers located in remote branch offices The main difference between 2003 and 2008 is Virtualization, management. 2008 has more in-build components and updated third party drivers. Microsoft introduces new feature with 2k8 that is Hyper-V Windows Server 2008 introduces Hyper-V (V for Virtualization) but only on 64bit versions. More and more companies are seeing this as a way of reducing hardware costs by running several 'virtual' servers on one physical machine. If you like this exciting technology, make sure that you buy an edition of Windows Server 2008 that includes Hyper-V, then launch the Server Manger, add Roles. Windows Server 2008, formerly codenamed Longhorn, is no leas than 45 times faster than its

predecessor, Windows Server 2003, in terms of network transfer speeds. Now whatever the perspective is on Microsoft's last 32-bit server operating system, the fact of the matter is that faster transfer speeds for of up to 45 times is quite an evolution compared to Windows Server 2003. Back in June 2007, Microsoft commissioned a study to the Tolly Group focused on the networking performances of its latest Windows client and server operating system, which ended up as the "Enhanced Network Performance with Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008" white paper. The paper pointed to the fact that both Vista and Windows Server 2008 managed to offer "Dramatic network performance benefits". Windows server 2008 has been more updated than windows server 2003.
