Windows Server 2003: Advantages and Disadvantages

At the core of Windows Server 2003 is a database that stores details of all of the users and the permissions they are entitled to. This is known as Active Directory (AD). As well as using AD to govern access to files, ?Straight Server? performs print server and web server roles with little additional configuration. It is, in this sense, quite a basic server product. Contained within ?Straight Server? however is a suite of tools and functions that allow it to become the building block of a much more complex network environment.

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.
