Redmond's new operating system quite like Microsoft Windows 2000 Resource Kit.The kit consists of seven books and a well-organised CD-ROM. Each of the books contains comprehensive information about the respective area that it covers, whether it be TCP/IP or distributed systems. The kit not only includes the essential information, but also contains a great deal of detail and background for its many subjects. For example, the book that covers Internet Information Server includes instructions on developing client/server and multi-tier applications. The Windows 2000 TCP/IP Core Networking Guide also has an outstanding introduction to core tenets TCP/IP.Systems administration manuals have come a long way in terms of usability and presentation, but they are still not the easiest of the available resources to use. Many books (including some from Microsoft) of lesser scope provide information in a format that is easier to follow, including screen shots and step-by-step instructions. The volumes in this kit do not provide as many images, illustrations or diagrams as other volumes, but the level of technical detail is unbeatable.Many of the volumes could stand alone as books on their subject. The Distributed Systems Guide, which is over 1,600 pages, contains complete coverage of Active Directory, PKI, Distributed File System, PKI and much more.Why the set includes a volume entitled Internet Explorer 5 Resource Kit remains unclear. It primarily discusses the use, deployment, and customisation of IE 5.

Manufacturer's product description
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server is the multipurpose network operating system for businesses of all sizes. Windows 2000 Server lets you share files and printers reliably and securely, choose from thousands of business applications compatible to run today on Windows 2000 Server, build Web applications and connect to the Internet. This combination and flexibility delivers a strong business value proposition for today's IT customer.If yours is like many businesses today, you're busy adapting to the challenges and opportunities brought by the Internet. The Microsoft Windows 2000 Server operating system can make the transition easier. Now you can use the Internet to improve all your business operations - from how your employees work together to how you extend your network to customers and partners.Building on the solid Internet technologies delivered in Windows NT Server 4.0, Windows 2000 Server provides a well-integrated package containing the application development environment, security, and scalability you need to get more out of existing applications. Plus you can build new and versatile solutions using the most complete set of Internet technologies available.Active Server Pages (ASP), first introduced as a component of Windows NT Server 4.0, revolutionized the way Web content was served. This technology allowed organizations to create dynamic and highly personalized Web sites. The implementation of Active Server Pages in Windows 2000 Server is faster, more reliable, more scalable, and ready to run on high-end multi-processor hardware.Windows 2000 also introduces new technologies that let you build richer Web applications and solutions, such as the next generation of the Microsoft Component Object Model, COM+. Developers using COM+ find it much easer to create and use software components, and benefit from a runtime environment and services that are easily used from any programming language or tool.Another technology revolutionizing the Internet is the Extensible Markup Language (XML). XML enables easy integration of data from multiple sources, reduced network traffic, granular updates, and more meaningful searches. The Windows 2000 XML Parser is implemented as a COM component, providing a complete XML foundation for Windows DNA-based applications.In addition, Windows 2000 includes integrated support for streaming media, which allows organizations to develop and distribute real-time presentations and rich multimedia content to both internal and external audiences. Imagine being able to send full screen video to your users' desktops on demand, while providing CD-quality audio, digital rights management, and great integration with other application software.As businesses extend their networks beyond original boundaries, for example by adding extranets and Internet sites, they need to increase system security. In addition, employees typically store confidential information on laptops and other mobile computing devices, which may be lost or stolen. To help companies enhance their security to address new ways of using information, Windows 2000 provides end-to-end security. This means that organizations can integrate systems both inside and outside the corporate network boundaries, while providing complete access control and data protection. Security features include advanced techniques for identifying who is accessing the system, including the use of digital "keys" to access selected data, and a single ID that permits users to access not only their own computer, but also other shared resources (such as printers or files) on the corporate network, the Internet, or even a business partner's network.Windows 2000 Server provides comprehensive, standards-based security services, including flexible authentication, data encryption, flexible and secure network access, protection of virtual private networks (VPNs) using core Internet standards such as IP Security (IPSec), secure transaction processing, and security extensions for the development platform such as the CryptoAPI.In summary, Windows 2000 Server provides the integrated Web and application development services, scalability, flexibility, and security services to allow organizations to extend their business to the Internet. With Windows 2000 Server, businesses can securely connect with their customers, partners, and employees - wherever Internet access is available. Businesses can use the Internet infrastructure to offer expanded and innovative applications, rich content, and secure access to information, products, and services.Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4) provides the latest updates to the Windows 2000 operating systems. These updates are a collection of fixes in the following areas: security, application compatibility, operating system reliability, and setup. Windows 2000 SP4 is a recommended update that includes the updates contained in previous Windows 2000 service packs.LICENSE DESCRIPTIONMicrosoft Select License is a software volume licensing program designed for corporate, government, and academic customers with 250 or more desktops and mixed product and purchasing requirements.
