Win Server 2003 beefs up

摘要

Service pack 1 has the potential to tighten the security and ease the management of Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Server 2003, but it also has the potential to cause many problems if IT departments do not deploy it with care. Microsoft released Windows Server 2003 SP1 last month, two years after the release of the company's flagship server operating platform. The service pack provides a strong set of baseline security fixes and core feature enhancements, and eWEEK Labs recommends that administrators deploy it in their Windows Server 2003 environments. The beefed-up operating system may also entice Windows 2000 Server shops to move to Windows Server 2003.
