Windows
2000
Server
allows
companies
to
configure,
secure,
and
guarantee
services
across
a
network.
Services,
such
as
the
Active
Directory,
IntelliMirror,
Group
Policy,
Windows
Management
Instrumentation
(WMI),
Microsoft
Management
Console
(MMC),
Windows
Scripting
Host
(WSH),
and
the
Component
Object
Model
(COM)
work
together
to
provide
an
integrated
management
infrastructure
that
allows
you
to
centrally
manage
Windows-based
systems;
manage
desktop
configuration
and
changes;
manage
data
storage
and
retrieval;
and
implement
value-added
management
solutions.

how
Windows
2000
Server
management
services
and
tools
support
end-to-end
network
administration,
automatic
software
deployment,
and
integration
of
custom
tools
and
services.
If
you
have
experience
deploying
Microsoft®
Windows
NT®
and
Microsoft
Office
packages,
you
know
the
work
that
must
be
done
to
get
the
installation
packages
automated.
You
also
are
probably
aware
that
the,
utilities
that
are
available
for
Windows
95
or
Windows
98,
such
as
Ghost
and
Drive
Image
Professional,
do
not
work
well
for
Windows
NT
4.0.
The
Windows
NT
security
model
does
not
allow
machines
to
be
duplicated
because
each
machine
would
then
have
the
same
Security
IDs
(SIDs).
Systems
should
have
unique
SIDs,
so
that
they
can
be
recognized
correctly
by
other
systems
and
services
on
the
network.
The
Microsoft
Windows®
2000
operating
system
has
many
more
options
to
automate
the
installation
of
Windows
2000,
as
well
as
applications
such
as
Microsoft
Office
2000.
One
such
tool
is
the
Microsoft
System
Preparation
tool
(Sysprep),
which
allows
you
to
deploy
the
operating
system
and
applications
together
through
an
image
method.
Sysprep
includes
improvements
to
the
unattend
process,
application
installation,
and
management
enhancements.
Using
Sysprep
for
automated
software
installation
makes
it
possible
to
lower
your
cost
of
deployment,
as
well
as
diminishing
ongoing
support
and
maintenance
time.
This
guide
will
assist
you
in
the
automation
planning
process,
the
installation
process,
and
the
deployment
phase
of
Windows
2000
and
Microsoft
Office
2000.
This
supplement
to
the
Windows 2000
Server
Resource
Kit
Deployment
Planning
Guide
helps
you
implement
desktop
change
and
configuration
management
for
your
organization
through
deployment
of
the
IntelliMirror
and
Remote
Operating
System
(OS)
Installation
features
of
Windows 2000.
It
describes
the
technical
details
of
these
features
and
how
to
use
them
to
benefit
your
organization,
and
provides
the
procedures
and
tools
to
deploy
your
desktop
management
solution.
Additional
chapters
will
be
posted
as
they
become
available.
This
deployment
guide
is
designed
for
Information
Systems
professionals
who
are
responsible
for
installing
Windows 2000
Professional
or
Windows 2000
Server
products
on
many
computers.
When
planning
an
upgrade,
you
should
use
this
guide
in
conjunction
with
the
Windows 2000
Planning
and
Design
Guide
in
the
Windows 2000
Server
Resource
Kit.
The
deployment
guide
lists
the
supported
upgrade
paths
for
Windows 2000
Professional,
Windows 2000
Server,
and
Windows 2000
Advanced
Server,
and
describes
factors
that
may
affect
your
decision
to
upgrade
rather
than
to
perform
a
clean
install.
(Note
that
the
term
upgrade
as
it
is
used
in
this
guide
means
to
replace
the
operating
system
using
the
upgrade
features
of
Windows 2000.
A
clean
install
refers
to
formatting
the
disk
and
reinstalling
the
operating
system
and
all
applications.)
It
then
goes
on
to
discuss
tools
and
procedures
for
automating
the
operating
system
upgrade
process.
Microsoft
Windows
Installer
is
an
installation
technology
that
streamlines
the
application
installation
process
and
offers
continued
resiliency
for
applications,
including
the
ability
to
install
additional
features
on
demand,
automatically
repair
applications,
uninstall
applications
cleanly,
and
roll
back
applications
reliably.
When
you
use
Microsoft
Systems
Management
Server
2.0
to
deploy
Windows
Installer
setup
packages,
you
gain
additional
change
and
configuration
benefits.
Group
Policy
is
a
key
component
of
IntelliMirrorTM
management
technologies
in
the
Windows®
2000
operating
systems.
Group
Policy
helps
administrators
control
user
access
to
desktop
settings
and
applications
by
group
rather
than
by
individual
user
and
computer.
Group
Policy
allows
Windows
2000
network
administrators
to
define
and
control
the
amount
of
access
users
have
to
data
and
applications
and
to
their
organizations’
networks.
As
a
result,
administrators
spend
less
time
on
everyday
tasks
such
as
fixing
problems
caused
by
novice
users
This
paper
presents
an
overview
of
the
Microsoft®
Windows®
operating
system
management
services
that
Microsoft,
working
with
key
customers
and
partners,
has
identified
as
critical
to
the
manageability
of
Windows.
These
Windows
management
services
form
the
foundation
for
built-in
and
value
added
management
tools
that
provide:
- Desktop
management
- Centralized
Management
- Easier
deployment
of
Windows
2000
This
paper
is
part
of
a
series
that
introduces
Windows® 2000
Change
and
Configuration
Management
services
and
technologies.
This
paper
introduces
one
of
these
technologies,
Group
Policy.
Change
and
Configuration
Management
As
its
name
implies,
Change
and
Configuration
Management
involves
managing
the
ongoing
change
and
configuration
issues
that
arise
as
administrators
try
to
ensure
that
people
are
productive
as
they
use
their
computers
to
complete
their
day-to-day
work.
The
following
table
highlights
the
Windows
2000
Change
and
Configuration
Management
features,
benefits,
and
the
technologies
that
enable
these
features.
IntelliMirrorTM
management
technologies
provide
change
and
configuration
management
for
the
Windows®
2000
operating
system.
Among
the
technologies
behind
IntelliMirror
are
the
Active
DirectoryTM
service,
Group
Policy,
the
Windows
Installer
service,
Roaming
User
Profiles,
Folder
Redirection,
Offline
Files,
and
the
Synchronization
Manager.
In
addition,
you
can
complement
IntelliMirror
with
the
Remote
Operating
System
feature
of
Windows 2000,
as
well
as
with
Microsoft’s
Systems
Management
Server.
Given
all
these
technologies,
the
question
is
how
to
use
them
effectively
in
order
to
solve
your
business
needs.
This
collection
of
guides
is
intended
to
help
you
quickly
find
the
information
you’re
looking
for
to
understand,
deploy,
and
use
IntelliMirror
in
your
organization,
as
well
as
understand
how
to
get
increased
business
value
from
complementary
Microsoft
technologies.
The
IntelliMirrorTM
management
technologies
are
a
set
of
powerful
features
built
into
the
Windows® 2000
operating
system
and
designed
to
increase
availability
and
reduce
the
overall
cost
of
supporting
users
of
Windows.
IntelliMirror
uses
policy-based
Change
and
Configuration
Management
to
enable
users'
data,
software,
and
settings
to
follow
them
throughout
a
distributed
computing
environment,
whether
they
are
on-
or
off-line.
As
organizations
rely
more
heavily
on
their
computer
networks,
the
amount
of
critical
information
about
people
and
processes
that
is
stored
on
those
networks
grows
daily.
And
because
those
networked
organizations
change
frequently,
it
is
even
more
important
that
the
information
they
keep
on
their
networks
is
managed
efficiently,
in
a
way
that
provides
flexibility
to
users
and
yet
controls
access
to
vital
data.
The
change
and
configuration
management
features
that
are
built
into
the Windows®
2000
operating
system
help
network
administrators
manage
day-to-day
tasks
such
as
installing,
updating,
managing,
and
repairing
users’
data,
software,
and
settings
while
maintaining
a
high
level
of
control
over
critical
data.
IntelliMirrorTM
management
technologies
and
Remote
OS
Installation
are
features
included
in
the
Windows
2000
operating
system.
Systems
Management
Server
2.0
complements
these
built-in
management
features.
Together
they
provide
a
base
set
of
change
and
configuration
management
features
that
help
IT
administrators
manage
their
Windows
2000
Professional
user
communities
and
data
through
centrally
administered
policy.
This
scenario
guide
describes
the
day-to-day
administrative
tasks
to
perform
in
a
single-domain
network
running
the
Windows®
2000
operating
system.
Specifically,
it
focuses
on
disk
management
and
creating
and
implementing
a
backup
and
recovery
plan
that
ensures
that
the
failure
of
a
server
or
disk
drive
does
not
result
in
the
loss
of
data.
This
white
paper
provides
an
overview
of
the
Remote
Operating
System
Installation
feature,
which
performs
Change
and
Configuration
Management
tasks
in
Windows® 2000-based
networks,
and
the
Remote

The
Windows® 2000
Remote
OS
Installation
feature,
based
on
the
Remote
Installation
Services
(RIS)
technology,
gives
administrators
the
ability
to
deploy
an
operating
system
throughout
the
enterprise,
without
the
need
to
physically
visit
each
client
computer.
One
of
the
most
challenging
and
costly
functions
performed
by
IT
staff
today
is
the
deployment
of
a
new
operating
system
to
client
computers.
The
Remote

Installation
feature
uses
the
new
PXE-based
remote
boot
technology
to
assist
IT
staff
with
the
deployment
of
Windows 2000
Professional
in
a
remote
way,
thus
reducing
IT
support
overhead
in
bringing
new
computers
online,
and
in
reinstalling
operating
systems
in
the
field.
This
paper
describes
Windows
2000
Software
Installation
and
Maintenance,
one
of
the
key
Change

Configuration
Management
features.
Administrators
can
use
Software
Installation
and
Maintenance
to
manage
software
throughout
the
software’s
lifecycle
to
reduce
their
organization’s
Total
Cost
of

explores
some
of
the
new
features
in
the
Microsoft®
Management
Console
(MMC),
an
ISV-extensible,
common
console
framework
for
management
applications.
MMC
does
not
provide
any
management
functionality,
but
instead
forms
a
common
environment
for
snap-ins.
Snap-ins
are
management
components
integrated
into
a
common
host—and
this
host
is
MMC.
Each
snap-in
provides
one
unit
of
management
behavior,
and
multiple
snap-ins
can
be
combined
to
build
a
custom
management
tool.
Snap-ins
allow

discusses
the
procedures
for
creating
and
customizing
software
installation
packages
for
use
with
the
Windows® 2000
operating
system.
This

contains
information
about
the
User
Data
Management
and

Settings
Management
features
that
are
available
in
the

operating
system.
User
Data
Management
and
User
Settings
Management
are
part
of
the
new
IntelliMirrorTM
management
technology
in
Windows 2000.
These
features
allow
administrators
to
reduce
the
total
cost
of
ownership
(TCO)
for
personal
computers
(PCs)
in
their
organizations.
This
step-by-step
guide
describes
scenarios
that
illustrate
the
benefits
of
User

Management
and
User
Settings
Management.
It
is
designed
to
help
administrators
understand
how
they
can
use
these
features
in
their
organizations.
This
technical
step-by-step
guide
provides
examples
of
using
the
secondary
logon
feature,
the
Run
as
service,
in
the
Windows® 2000
operating
system.
Secondary
logon
allows
administrators
to
avoid
having
to
log
on
with
an
administrative
account
for
each
task.
Instead,
secondary
logon
enables
administrators
to
log
on
with
an
ordinary
user
account
and
then
start
trusted
administrative
tools
in
the
context
of
the
administrator's
account
without
logging
off.
A
user
with
multiple
credentials
can
start
applications
under
different
credentials
without
needing
to
log
off.

of
Remote
Storage,
the
hierarchical
storage
management
solution
provided
in
the
Windows® 2000
Server
operating
system.
Windows
Management
Instrumentation
(WMI)
is
the
Microsoft
implementation
of
the
Distributed
Management
Task
Force
(DMTF)
Web-Based
Enterprise
Management
(WBEM)
initiative,
an
industry-wide
standards
effort
to
define
unified
access
to
all
management
information.
WMI
is
included
as
a
standard
service
in
Windows
2000-based
systems.
It
enables
systems,
applications,
hardware,
networks,
and
other
managed
components
to
be
represented,
associated
and
managed
as
a
unified
system
using
the
Common
Information
Model
(CIM)
defined
as
part
of
the
WBEM
initiative.
This
allows
management
applications
to
monitor
and
manage
all
aspects
of
the
system
in
a
single
consistent
way,
regardless
of
the
type
or
location
of
the
managed
elements
or
the
underlying
instrumentation
protocols
and
mechanisms
in
use.
IntelliMirrorTM
management
technologies,
Remote
OS
Installation,
and
Systems
Management
Server
work
together
to
offer
a
full
complement
of
change
and
configuration
management
features
for
Windows®
2000
operating
systems.
This
article
is
a
guide
designed
to
help
administrators
select
the
right
combined
solution
to
configure
and
maintain
user
desktops
in
corporate
computing
environments.
IntelliMirror
and
Remote
OS
Installation
are
features
included
as
part
of
Windows 2000.
Together
they
provide
a
base
set
of
change
and
configuration
management
features
for
IT
administrators
to
manage
their
Windows 2000
Professional
users
through
centrally
administered
policies.
Systems
Management
Server
2.0
complements
IntelliMirror
and
Remote
OS
Installation,
providing
additional,
scalable
change
and
configuration
management
options
to
support
a
full
range
of
Windows-based
computers
and
more
complex
environments.
This
white
paper
describes
six
scenarios
for
using
Group
Policy,
one
of
the
key
Change
and
Configuration
Management
technologies
provided
in
Windows
2000.
Administrators
use
Group
Policy
to
specify
options
for
managed
desktop
configurations
for
groups
of
computers
and
users.
Group
Policy
includes
options
for
registry-based
policy
settings,
security
settings,
software
installation,
scripts,
folder
redirection,
Internet
Explorer
maintenance,
and
remote
installation
services.
This
paper
is
intended
for
information
technology
managers
and
system
administrators
who
are
interested
in
using
Group
Policy
to
manage
users'
desktop
environments.
These
scenarios
are
intended
to
be
starting
points
from
which
you
can
develop
settings
that
are
tailored
to
your
environment.
In
general,
Windows
2000
allows
administrators
to
more
easily
control
a
greater
number
of
servers
and
workstations.
At
the
same
time,
new
features
in
Windows
2000—for
instance,
using
Active
Directory
for
automated
software
distribution
and
locating,
connecting
to,
and
using
printers—will
dramatically
reduce
the
cost
of
supporting
users.
In
installations
where
dedicated
domain
controllers
and
associated
resource
servers
are
not
well
utilized,
a
new
architecture
for
organizing
resources
will
actually
reduce
hardware
requirements,
freeing
up
expensive
server
resources
for
other
uses.
This
white
paper
describes
15
of
the
most
important,
and
common,
administrative
tasks
and
details
exactly
where
cost
savings
can
be
expected
when
migrating
from
Windows
NT
4.0
to
Windows
2000.
Organizations
manage
their
computer
systems
to
maximize
the
productivity
of
the
people
using
the
systems,
while
minimizing
the
total
cost
of
ownership
(TCO)
associated
with
these
same
systems.
(TCO
refers
to
all
costs
involved
in
administering
distributed
personal
computers
on
networks.)
Microsoft®
Windows®
has
matured
into
a
dynamic
multipurpose
operating
system
that
has
become
the
foundation
for
critical
line-of-business
systems.
As
customers
have
come
to
rely
on
Windows 2000–based
systems
for
the
success
of
their
businesses,
the
need
for
common,
built-in,
management
services
has
become
obvious.
Windows® 2000
is
a
powerful
operating
system
that
can
be
managed
remotely.
The
range
of
remote
management
options
has
been
greatly
increased
in
Windows 2000.
From
Windows
Terminal
Services
to
command
line
scripts,
IT
professionals
now
have
a
range
of
tools
to
administer
a
Windows 2000
machine
remotely.
This
paper
describes
several
new
remote
management
tools
that
can
be
used
to

machines,
whether
they
exist
in
the
corporate
data
center
or
at
a
branch
office.
