Answer 1:
windows Server 2003 Standard Edition - Standard server that
can be a DC, runs ADS and DNS. Does not support Itanium
Based PC's and cannot be used as a Streaming media Server
but not as a cluster Node.

stndard Server can do, but able to support Itanium based
PC's, adn cable of being a Node in a cluster. More robust,
and supports non unuiform Memory access, 64gb Ram and CPU's

by Raghavendra.P.R Here are some of the technical details that would be more help full Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition
Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition is aimed towards small to medium sized businesses. Flexible yet versatile, Standard Edition supports file and printer sharing, offers secure Internet connectivity, and allows centralized desktop application deployment. This edition of Windows will run on up to 4 processors with up to 4 GB RAM. 64-bit versions are also available for the AMD x86-64 architecture and the Intel clone of that same architecture, EM64T. The 64-bit version of Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition is capable of addressing up to 32 GB of RAM and it also supports Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA), something the 32-bit version does not.
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition
Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition is aimed towards medium to large businesses. It is a full-function server operating system that supports up to eight processors and provides enterprise-class features such as eight-node clustering using Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) software and support for up to 32 GB of memory. Enterprise Edition also comes in a 64-bit edition for Intel. 64-bit versions are also available for the AMD x86-64 architecture and the Intel clone of that same architecture, EM64T. The 64-bit version of Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition is capable of addressing up to 1 TB of RAM. Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions support Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA). by Raghavendra.P.R Answer:Enterprise Edition:
Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition is aimed towards medium to large businesses. It is a full-function server operating system that supports up to eight processors and provides enterprise-class features such as eight-node clustering using Microsoft Cluster Server software and support for up to 32 GB of memory through PAE. Enterprise Edition also comes in 64-bit versions for the Itanium and x64 architectures. The 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition are capable of addressing up to 1 TB of memory. Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions support Non-Uniform Memory Access. It also provides the ability to hot-add supported hardware. Enterprise Edition is also required to issue custom certificate templates. Datacenter Edition
Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition is designed for infrastructures demanding high security and reliability. Windows Server 2003 is available for x86, Itanium, and x86_64 processors. It supports a maximum of up to 32 processors on 32-bit or 64 processors on 64-bit hardware. 32-bit architecture also limits memory addressability to 64 GB, while the 64-bit versions support up to 1 TB. Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition, also allows limiting processor and memory usage on a per-application basis. Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition also supports Non-Uniform Memory Access. If supported by the system, Windows, with help from the system firmware creates a Static Resource Affinity Table that defines the NUMA topology of the system. Windows then uses this table to optimize memory accesses, and provide NUMA awareness to applications, there by increasing the efficiency of thread scheduling and memory management. Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition has better support for Storage Area Networks. It features a service which uses Windows sockets to emulate TCP/IP communication over native SAN service providers, thereby allowing a SAN to be accessed over any TCP/IP channel. With this, any application that can communicate over TCP/IP can use a SAN, without any modification to the application. Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition, also supports 8-node clustering. Clustering increases availability and fault tolerance of server installations, by distributing and replicating the service among many servers. Windows supports clustering, with each cluster having its own dedicated storage, or all clusters connected to a common Storage Area Network , which can be running on Windows as well as non-Windows Operating systems. The SAN may be connected to other computers as well.It supports high capacity of data.
What is required before windows 2000xp can provide full power management functionality?
Your system BIOS must be ACPI compliant.
NAT:
Network Address Translation
Nat is used to deal with public and private address.
most of addresses that we have is private and you must use public address in the internet , so NAT server do this job and make address conversion
universal groups are not present in the win2000 mixed mode the forest level needs to be win2003 for it to work.
Universal groups can be used anywhere in the same Windows forest. They are only available in a Native-mode enterprise. Universal groups may be an easier approach for some administrators because there are no intrinsic limitations on their use. Users can be directly assigned to Universal groups, they can be nested, and they can be used directly with access-control lists to denote access permissions in any domain in the enterprise.
Universal groups are stored in the global catalog (GC); this means that all changes made to these groups engender replication to all global catalog servers in the entire enterprise. Changes to universal groups must therefore be made only after a careful examination of the benefits of universal groups as compared to the cost of the increased global catalog replication load. If an organization has but a single, well-connected LAN, no performance degradation should be experienced, while widely dispersed sites might experience a significant impact. Typically, organizations using WANs should use Universal groups only for relatively static groups in which memberships change rarely

What is wins and when do we use it?
Windows Internet Naming Service.
It was used with a WINS server in older MS networks for name
resolution.
Newer MS Server OSs are tightly integrated with DNS and don't require
WINS.
WINS and DNS can only used for name resolution in a client/server
network, such as a Windows domain.
A workgroup (peer-to-peer) network uses NetBIOS over TCP/IP for name
resolution
Short for New technology File System, one of the file system for the Windows NT operating system (Windows NT also supports the FAT file system). NTFS has features to improve reliability, such as transaction logs to help recover from disk failures. To control access to files, you can set permissions for directories and/or individual files. NTFS files are not accessible from other operating systems such as DOS.
Difference between user mode and supervising mode?
Supervising mode is what system kernel runs in.
It has unrestricted access to hardware, processor, memory and everything else.
User mode is managed by supervisor mode, so programs can't crash other programs deliberately by writing over their memory.
User mode programs communicate with hardware and kernel itself by system calls.
How do you delete unused programs?

2. Click on delete.'
3. You may be asked to confirm.
4. Go to Recycle Bin.
5. Click on empty the recycle bin.
6. You may be asked to confirm one last time.
What can be done when one computer cannot login?
You have to explain the situation a bit more. Are you on a workgroup or a domain? Is it the computer cant get on, or is it the user cant get on? Are you sure that your computer can 'see' the network? Are there any error messages? What OS is on the computer? Was it previously getting on, or is it a new computer?
no we use the computer for home use but u cant login to anything and the computer wont pull up hardly anything it says something about the fire wall we don't know what to do about this

Well Windows XP has been pulled from retailers like Best Buy and Circuit City, many computer stores like Computer Renaissance still have left over copies of XP. You have 3 other alternatives: the first is buy a PC loaded with XP Professional from places like Dell.com in the Business section, use a Hard Drive with XP on it, or use torrents like the Pirate Bay and use Utorrent to open the file. If you download the file it is free but it is illegal. I advise you to borrow a friends or relatives XP disk and use a good not pirated product key. I wish you luck in finding it and hope you enjoy on of Microsoft's best Os's!!!
