Abstract
This paper explains that the Windows Server 2003 Operating System (OS) uses the most important features of Windows 2000 Server technology but makes it simpler to install, manage and use, resulting in an extremely high productive infrastructure, which aids in making the network a strategic asset for an organization. The author points out that Microsoft has enhanced and extended Windows Server OS by including the advantages of 'Microsoft NET' for linking up people, systems and devices. The paper relates that the Active Directory, the integrated, distributed directory service that comes with Microsoft Windows Server 2003, helps the administrator of the organization add a user to Active Directory by means of a single entry, permits remote access to the network, enables the identical user account for exchange messaging and co-ordinates the same user with database access for accounting, client relationship management or other applications.

From the Paper
"The impact of the defunct action is reversible, and it does not purge schema objects from the database, but instead "takes them out of order." such that it is possible to reuse them. The schema re-define is enabled at the Windows Server 2003 forest functional level. Apart from that, adding new attributes to the global catalogue does not cause GCs to perform full synchronization like it used to. Windows Sever 2003 replicates only added attributes between Windows Server 2003 domain controllers. It will again do a full synchronization when the destination is a Windows 2000 DC. However, the biggest change in case of Applications in Windows Server 2003 Active Directory is the capability to create Application Partitions which are basically partitions in Active Directory similar to other partitions (Domain, Configuration, Schema), however can be created on any DC in the forest and duplicated to any other DC in the forest by choice."

From the Paper
"Originally announced as Longhorn by Microsoft (et.al.) on July 22, 2005 to journalists and analysts it was released to public distribution use by hardware OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and the general public on January 230, 2007. This is the longest period of time between operating systems releases in the history of Microsoft. There are many factors that contributed to the re-inventing of Longhorn to Microsoft Vista; chief among them was the rapid rise of security as critical unmet needs across all target markets for this operating system. Microsoft's chairman and CEO Bill Gates announced the Trustworthy Computing Initiative in early 2002 which was the direct result of the security shortcomings in Windows XP Professional, XP Home, and previous generation client and server operating systems."

Abstract
In the world of business computing, there is really only one product line used to manage software - Microsoft Windows. In all its variations, the Windows line of operating systems, back end servers, IT management applications and other software products have gained the lion's share of business in these arenas. While Apple Computer has recently introduced a back-office solution in the servers and apps arena (Apple's xServe and OS X - which is a Unix based OS), IBM has long had similar products in both hardware and software (OS/2), neither has really gained much more than a toe-hold into the business-software world. Microsoft, truly, is the monopolistic giant that it has made itself into. However, as the world has been flocking to the Microsoft picnic, a significant number of guests have become upset with the limitations and rules that Microsoft has set forth regarding its software. For those people, LINUX, a free-ware Unix-based operating system that has no usage rules, no licensing agreements,and no restrictions. For these companies, the ability to completely control their software environment using a highly stable platform and one in which they do not have to invest is a major draw.

From the Paper
"Modern personal computers are multi-user, multitasking systems. A user is no longer forced to wait for a given process to complete before attempting to start the next process. With the introduction of time slicing, the Central Processing Unit (CPU) of the computer can have its time divided up and shared between numbers of different processes. However the concept of multitasking brings with it the problems associated with managing the computer?s memory. The operating system, in the case of this report, Microsoft Windows NT has the responsibility of distributing the available memory between applications or processes effectively, as well a number of other functions."

From the Paper
"Microsoft's' en masse adoption of TCP/IP as their de factor networking protocol was necessary due to the following reasons. First, the need for device independence at the router, hub, and switch level of networks forced the need for a standard soon after networking began to grow in popularity in government and education sectors. Second, the requirement of having a standardized addressing method was critical so what has turned into the IP address of systems could be recognized through the many different networks. This standardization applies to the definition of IP addressing, IP Address classes, and subnet masking conventions."

UNIX vs Windows NT, 2006.
The paper discusses the argument concerning the UNIX or Windows NT operating system.

Abstract
The paper explains that the argument over the decision regarding the installation and deployment of the UNIX or Windows NT operating system (OS), while currently irrelevant in the sense that Windows NT has largely been supplanted by Windows Server 2003 and its various incarnations, is still debated in many corporate back offices. The paper discusses how this debate is still a valid argument, considering UNIX is regularly employed in corporate and large enterprise settings and Windows NT, while no longer updated by Microsoft, is also still in use in many corporate settings. This is because of its positive attributes that made it attractive when it was first released.

Abstract
In this thesis, Microsoft Windows NT Server is judged against UNIX in the substantial commercial atmosphere. The chief convergence of the contrast in this paper is on the matters of dependability, similarity, management, implementation and safety. The writer concludes that the technique that should be used by clients is to not pick one system over the other, instead, to take advantage of not only Windows 2000/NT but also UNIX systems and make them fit the working environment.

From the Paper
"E-mailing has now become a very vast system of communication for the users of network setups, which is why it also plays a part in seeing which of the two setups is better off in the services of an email system. Windows 2000/NT allows the user to access a mailing service through the Microsoft exchange already in their system which has not worked fruitfully which is why the user has to purchase a separate software package in order to set up an e-mail server, which on the whole with 25 Client Access Licenses costs $3,549.00. UNIX has quite a few mail server packages available but it chooses to have a program called Send mail, which is the most widely employed, and it is free. However it is not very user affable, which is why a company with many computer driven customers would not find this system up to the mark."

Abstract
This paper examines how Windows 2000, XP and Server 2003, collectively referred to as Windows NT 5.x support a limited number of file systems, each having a specific purpose. It looks at how Windows NT 5.x provides all the basic file system services expected of a modern operating system through its small set of general-purpose and specialized file systems.
From the Paper
"NTFS is a modern general-purpose file system. It supports journaling, in order to more quickly restore the file system to a consistent state after an incorrect shutdown. (AlistairMcMillan, et. al. 2005) NTFS has robust metadata support, with a built-in ability to add new file attributes, which Microsoft has used to add features such as DFS indexing, which was not originally intended as a feature of NTFS. One use of this metadata is the file ownership and permissions model used on Windows NT 5.x. File ownership and access control permissions are stored as file metadata. These access control lists, or ACLs can express a sophisticated set of permissions, based on listing which users and groups of users have permission to perform certain actions on a file. Available actions include reading the data in the file, modifying the file and executing it, if it is a program. NTFS has alternate data streams to support multi-part files such as the split resource fork and data fork used on Mac OS."
