description Things you can do to ease the pain of rolling out Microsoft's Windows 2000 are discussed. Microsoft recommends moving from NT 4.0 to Windows 2000. Windows NT 3.1 and 3.51 users who attempt to move directly to Windows 2000 and run into problems may be forced by Microsoft's tech support to restore affected servers to NT 4.0 before migrating to Windows 2000. Windows 2000 is designed to run on a Pentium-class server with 64M bytes of memory. Servers based on Intel's new Xeon-class processor offer an inherent advantage because the Layer 2 cache runs at the same speed as the processor. To some extent, network planners may need to wipe the whiteboard clean and figure out how to put existing domains into the Active Directory hierarchy, as well as determine how trust relationships of the past fit into the new Active Directory tree. Any company intent on migrating to Active Directory will also have to embrace Domain Name System, the Internet service that associates IP addresses with domain names. With Windows 2000, Microsoft will offer a single, unified interface across all management tools.
