In many ways, Windows 2000 represents a major step forward for NT
users. With a vast range of new features, redesigned directory services,
and substantially enhanced availability, Windows 2000 promises to
reposition the PC server within the large organization. Indeed, a move to
Windows 2000 is inevitable for many companies, as forthcoming releases of
strategic BackOffice products such as Exchange and SQL Server rely
heavily on its advanced functionality.
Nevertheless, the product presents some technical obstacles for large
users that need to be overcome; migration will be by no means
straightforward, and the sheer complexity of Windows 2000 raises some
real technical challenges for those supporting it. Moreover, key features
such as full XML support and a number of ease-of-use and integration
tools have been delayed to the next release, which means that users need
to plan their implementation strategy very carefully.
Windows 2000 is arguably the most significant product release from
Microsoft in a decade, and now is the time to get to grips with the
planning and training issues involved.
This exhaustive Xephon Report provides a detailed analysis of Windows
2000 and its accompanying tools, and helps IT specialists to assess the
real implications of this revolutionary operating system.
