Overview Windows Server 2003 was the follow-up to Windows 2000 Server, incorporating compatibility and other features from. Unlike Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003's default installation has none of the server components enabled, to reduce the of new machines.
Windows Server 2003 includes compatibility modes to allow older applications to run with greater stability. It was made more compatible with domain-based networking. Windows Server 2003 brought in enhanced Active Directory compatibility, and better deployment support, to ease the transition from Windows NT 4.0 to Windows Server 2003 and Professional. Changes to various services include those to the, which was almost completely rewritten to improve performance and security, which now supports hosting multiple DFS roots on a single server, Terminal Server, Active Directory, Print Server, and a number of other areas.
Windows Server 2003 was also the first operating system released by Microsoft after the announcement of its initiative, and as a result, contains a number of changes to and practices. The product went through several name changes during the course of development. When first announced in 2000, it was known by its, 'Whistler Server'; it was named 'Windows 2002 Server' for a brief time in mid-2001, followed by 'Windows.NET Server' and 'Windows.NET Server 2003'.
After Microsoft chose to focus the '.NET' branding on the, the OS was finally released as 'Windows Server 2003'. Development Windows Server 2003 was the first version which was thoroughly subjected to semi-automated for with a software system called developed.
The automated bug checking system was first tested on but not thoroughly. Amitabh Srivastava's PREfast found 12% of Windows Server 2003's bugs, the remaining 88% being found by human. Microsoft employs more than 4,700 programmers who work on Windows, 60% of whom are whose job is to find bugs in Windows. Microsoft co-founder stated that Windows Server 2003 was Microsoft's 'most rigorously tested software to date.' Microsoft later used Windows Server 2003's kernel in the.

However, Remote Desktop for Administration is available. Only 10 concurrent file-sharing connections are allowed at any moment. It is not possible to install Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Exchange software in this edition without installing Service Pack 1. Despite supporting XML Web services and ASP.NET, cannot be deployed on Windows Server 2003 Web. The.NET Framework version 2.0 is not included with Windows Server 2003 Web, but can be installed as a separate update from Windows Update. Windows Server 2003 Web supports a maximum of 2 physical processors and a maximum of 2 GB of RAM. However, an instance of Windows Server 2003 Web cannot act as a domain controller.
It is the only edition of Windows Server 2003 that does not require any (CAL) when used as the internet facing server front-end for and. When using it for storage or as a back-end with another remote server as the front-end, CALs may still be required. Standard. Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition cover box Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Standard is aimed towards small to medium-sized businesses. Standard Edition supports file and printer sharing, offers secure Internet connectivity, and allows centralized desktop application deployment. A specialized version for the architecture was released in April 2005.
The IA-32 version supports up to four physical processors and up to 4 GB RAM; the x64 version is capable of addressing up to 32 GB of RAM and also supports. Enterprise Windows Server 2003 Enterprise is aimed towards medium to large businesses. It is a full-function server operating system that supports up to 8 physical processors and provides enterprise-class features such as eight-node using (MSCS) software and support for up to 64 of through. Enterprise Edition also comes in specialized versions for the x64 and Itanium architectures.
With Service Pack 2 installed, the x64 and Itanium versions are capable of addressing up to 1 TB and 2 TB of RAM, respectively. This edition also supports (NUMA). It also provides the ability to hot-add supported hardware. Windows Server 2003 Enterprise is also the required edition to issue custom certificate templates. Datacenter Windows Server 2003 Datacenter is designed for infrastructures demanding high security and reliability. Windows Server 2003 is available for IA-32, Itanium, and x64 processors. It supports a maximum of 32 physical processors on IA-32 platform or 64 physical processors on x64 and IA-64 hardware.
IA-32 versions of this edition support up to 64 GB of RAM. With Service Pack 2 installed, the x64 versions support up to 1 TB while the IA-64 versions support up to 2 TB of RAM. Windows Server 2003 Datacenter also allows limiting processor and memory usage on a per-application basis. This edition has better support for (SANs): It features a service which uses Windows to emulate TCP/IP communication over native SAN service providers, thereby allowing a SAN to be accessed over any channel.
With this, any application that can communicate over TCP/IP can use a SAN, without any modification to the application. The Datacenter edition, like the Enterprise edition, supports 8-node. Clustering increases availability and fault tolerance of server installations by distributing and replicating the service among many servers. This edition supports clustering with each cluster having its own dedicated storage, or with all cluster nodes connected to a common SAN. Derivatives Windows Compute Cluster Server Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 (CCS), released in June 2006, is designed for high-end applications that require. It is designed to be deployed on numerous computers to be clustered together to achieve speeds.
Each Compute Cluster Server network comprises at least one controlling head node and subordinate processing nodes that carry out most of the work. Compute Cluster Server uses the v2 (MS-MPI) to communicate between the processing nodes on the cluster network.
It ties nodes together with a powerful inter-process communication mechanism which can be complex because of communications between hundreds or even thousands of processors working in parallel. The consists of over 160 functions.
A job launcher enables users to execute jobs to be executed in the computing cluster. MS MPI was designed to be compatible with the reference open source specification which is widely used in (HPC). With some exceptions because of security considerations, MS MPI covers the complete set of MPI2 functionality as implemented in MPICH2, except for the planned future features of dynamic process spawn and publishing.
Windows Storage Server Windows Storage Server 2003, a part of the Windows Server 2003 series, is a specialized server for (NAS). Launched in 2003 at in Chicago, it is optimized for use in file and print sharing and also in (SAN) scenarios. It is only available through (OEMs). Unlike other Windows Server 2003 editions that provide file and printer sharing functionality, Windows Storage Server 2003 does not require any CAL.
Windows Storage Server 2003 NAS equipment can be headless, which means that they are without any monitors, keyboards or mice, and are administered remotely. Such devices are plugged into any existing network and the storage capacity is available to all users. Windows Storage Server 2003 can use arrays to provide, and high performance. Multiple such NAS servers can be clustered to appear as a single device, which allows responsibility for serving clients to be shared in such a way that if one server fails then other servers can take over (often termed a ) which also improves fault-tolerance. Windows Storage Server 2003 can also be used to create a, in which the data is transferred in terms of chunks rather than files, thus providing more granularity to the data that can be transferred. This provides higher performance to and applications. Windows Storage Server 2003 also allows NAS devices to be connected to a SAN.
Windows Storage Server 2003 R2, as a follow-up to Windows Storage Server 2003, adds file-server performance optimization, Single Instance Storage (SIS), and index-based search. Single instance storage (SIS) scans storage volumes for duplicate files, and moves the duplicate files to the common SIS store. The file on the volume is replaced with a link to the file. This substitution reduces the amount of storage space required, by as much as 70%. Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 provides an index-based, full-text search based on the indexing engine already built into Windows server.
The updated search engine speeds up indexed searches on network shares. This edition also provides filters for searching many standard file formats, such as.zip, and.pdf, and all file formats. Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 includes built in support for Windows SharePoint Services and Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server, and adds a Storage Management snap-in for the Microsoft Management Console.
It can be used to manage storage volumes centrally, including shares, on servers running Windows Storage Server R2. Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 can be used as an target with standard and enterprise editions of Windows Storage Server 2003 R2, incorporating iSCSI technology which Microsoft acquired in 2006 by from StringBean software.
This will be an add-on feature available for purchase through OEM partners as an iSCSI feature pack, or is included in some versions of WSS as configured by OEMs. Windows Storage Server 2003 can be promoted to function as a domain controller; however, this edition is not licensed to run directory services.
It can be joined to an existing domain as a member server. Features. (DFS): DFS allows multiple to be aggregated as a virtual file system. Support for and: Computers can connect to a Storage Server over the, and there is no need for a separate network. Thus a can be created over the itself.
ISCSI uses the protocol to transfer data as a block of bytes, rather than as a file. This increases performance of the Storage network in some scenarios, such as using a database server. Virtual Disc Service: It allows devices, devices and SAN shares to be exposed and managed as if they were normal hard drives. JBOD systems: ( Just a bunch of discs) systems, by using VDS, can manage a group of individual storage devices as a single unit. There is no need for the storage units to be of the same maker and model. Software and Hardware RAID: Windows Storage Server 2003 has intrinsic support for hardware implementation of.
In case hardware support is not available, it can use software enabled RAID. In that case, all processing is done by the OS. Multi Path IO (MPIO): It provides an alternate connection to IO devices in case the primary path is down.
