difference between server 2000 & 2003

Fair differences between the two, to put it simply, 2003 server is based on the same technology as 2000, but with feature and performance enhancements.

2003 is easier to configure for its most popular roles, with more straight forward wizards etc. You are also blessed with XP style icons, and I believe for a real modern touch, the XP Luna interface can be enabled.

Both OS provide popular Windows networking technologies such as:

Active Directory, Internet Information Services, Windows Media Services, Domain Names System, DCHP server, File & printer sharing, remote access & routing etc etc, although 2003 has more features or options.

Both come in a range of versions (there maybe more?).

Windows 2000 Server

Windows 2000 Advanced Server

Windows 2000 Datacenter Server

Windows Server 2003 Standard

Windows Server 2003 Enterprise

Windows Small Business Server 2003

Both OS then support additional software for extended functionality such as MS Exchange Server or MS Host Integration Server. It can be very complicated :unsure: one thing is for sure though, dont touch Windows NT Server with a barge pole, its so antiquated now.
