Printing


Windows 2000 Server has the native ability to create Print Spools.  Although this capability has been tested and works sufficiently, Computing Services will not support departmental print spoolers.

Backups/Restorations

           

In order to protect against data loss, it is strongly recommended that routine backups be performed on critical file systems.  Computer Operations has a fee-based backup service.  It is also recommended that recoveries be performed periodically in order to guarantee the integrity of the data backups.

 Internet Information Services (IIS)

The IIS application provides access to Web, FTP, SMTP, and NNTP, and is bundled with Windows 2000 Server. Unfortunately, IIS has been the target of numerous security vulnerabilities.  If you decide to run IIS on your server, be sure to install core security patches and stay up to date on new security advisories.

The National Security Agency has produced a guide for securing IIS.  The University of Colorado at Boulder also has an informative site.
