business solutions quickly and easily. This flexible server is the ideal choice for small

Standard Edition. However, it also has features not included in Standard Edition that enhance
availability, scalability, and dependability.

e-commerce Web sites. Also, you can cluster servers running Enterprise Edition together to
handle larger loads.

critical applications that demand the highest levels of scalability and availability.

How to Install Windows 2003 Enterprise edition
When you install Windows 2003 Enterprise edition from a compact disc, the first part of the Setup
program is text-based. After you set a file system for the installation partition, the computer will
restart in graphical mode using the Setup Manager Wizard.
Use the Setup Wizard to customize regional settings, if necessary. You can also use the wizard to
identify the user and organization, the product key, and the computer name and password for the
local Administrator account.
The local Administrator account resides in the computer’s Security Accounts Manager (SAM), not
in the Microsoft Active Directory® directory service. If you install in a domain, you must either
assign a computer name in advance for an existing domain account, or assign the right to create a
computer account within the domain.
File Systems
The way of Hard disk partition and file organization. There are two types of file Systems:
� FAT & FAT32
Normal file system that could be used with Win95_Win 2000 server. No security options and
simple organizing.
� NTFS
Modern file systems that used in Win2000 family and win 2003 family. It has many features
for security and organization:
1. File-and folder –level security. NTFS allows you to control access to files and folders.
2. File compression. NTFS compresses files to create more storage space.
3. File encryption. NTFS allows you to transparently encrypt file data.
