HP Factory-Installed Operating System Software for Microsoft Windows 2000 Server User Guide

• Capable of out-of-the-box management of the server by the installation of the
HP Survey Utility and HP Management Agents for Servers. The Management
Agents monitor server performance and configuration as well as the performance
of the operating system. The Management Agents help prevent problems before
users are affected by issuing alerts when faults occur. The Management Agents
are installed during the setup process. The Survey Utility is available as an icon
on the desktop to perform an inventory after the initial Windows 2000 setup
completes.
• Preconfigured with the New Technology File System (NTFS) and the CHKDSK
Utility. Many new features in Windows 2000 software require NTFS. One of
these features promotes the server to a domain controller to use Microsoft Active
Directory. NTFS also offers greater security. During the NTFS conversion, the
CHKDSK Utility executes to verify that no sectors on the drive are damaged.
Review the Microsoft documentation for Windows 2000 software to properly
configure the server and to understand how to use NTFS with Windows 2000
software, while concurrently using previous versions of Microsoft
Windows NT® in a network infrastructure.
• Preconfigured with Microsoft Service Pack 3 as a part of the operating system.
The Service Pack includes updates, components, and tools that enhance the
operation of the operating system. The operating system does not allow the
Service Pack to be uninstalled.
• Preconfigured with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, Microsoft Internet Explorer 6
Service Pack 1, and the Security Rollup Package for Internet Explorer 6.
