    windows server 2003

    I just got a invite to attend a launch event for server 2003, if I go I get a free evaluation copy. And other event like this that I have gone to I got free food, pens, and entered in drawings for other cool stuff

    I've played with Server 2003 briefly. It looks like Windows 2000 server with an XP faceplate...

    whoopie-do.

    Oh so they found a way to screw that one up too huh?

    Why does a server interface need to be pretty? Really, how dumb is that? It's just going to suck up resources and get turned off.

    That's the first thing I did. I turned all the prettiness off - then I ended up with.... Windows 2000 Server.

    I didn't find it any faster, either.

    The best part is getting the free stuff, but the t shirts never fit me

    no sense of humor today eh?

    1. .NET Server 2003 addresses caches the user's complete group membership in the DC at first log-on. That way, it can validate subsequent log-ons from the DC cache instead of requiring a connection to a GC server.

    2. Another improvement is the ability to have a backup file—instead of the GC server—provide the data for an initial replication request for a new DC. This certainly comes in handy if your link to the GC server is less than speedy. After initial installation, a mere replication of changes is required to get this feature running—which can be a real time-saver in a disaster recovery situation.

    when i said several new things i was speaking from what i heard/saw about a year ago, but since then forgot the details and just have a memory that its active directory....

    I'm sure the AD tweaks are lovely, but all-in-all - does nothing for me or my company.

    I think this may be a hard-sell for Microsoft. Their ".NET" plan is so sketchy anyways.

    Their own web hosting company doesn't use .net yet.
