Summary

Windows Server 2003 provides a wealth of options that enable administrators the flexibility necessary to manage servers in a distributed IT environment through remote administration tools and techniques. Although some tools are really just enhancements of technologies introduced in earlier operating systems, there are many new features that make Windows Server 2003 a compelling alternative and worthwhile investment in terms of both manageability and security. Administrators can now remotely attach to servers without a network connection, keyboard, mouse, or video adapter to troubleshoot and bring the server back online without making expensive and timely visits to the server's physical location.
