wildhagen stuurde een link naar de Win2k Server & Win2k Advanced Server review van Network World Fusion. De review richt zich op het netwerk gebeuren rond Windows 2000: Active Directory, IntelliMirror, IP Security, Virtual Private Networks, load balancing, Dynamic DNS en meer van dat soort grappen, waar ik geen kaas van gegeten heb:
The long-awaited successor to Windows NT is finally seeing the light of day. You won't be able to buy Windows 2000 until the middle of next month, but we tested the final code Microsoft shipped to manufacturing late last month.We found that most of the bells and whistles of Microsoft's new flagship product work as advertised, planning for, testing and deploying Windows 2000 is going to be a slow and daunting process.
We looked at both Windows 2000 Server and Advanced Server. These editions vary mostly by the number of concurrent CPUs they support: up to four for Server and eight for Advanced Server. Clustering is available on Advanced Server, as is load balancing.
