With the listing of Windows Server 2003, many people can use the leak versions, relative to the workstation system, the server is in terms of stability and security in terms of stability and security. However, many people are not needing all of Server's full function, and the Server system closes the services required by some workstation systems. Here we will introduce how to optimize Windows Server 2003 and convert to a workstation system. 1. Disable Configure Server Wizard Due to the need for server settings, first we can first prohibit the appearance of "Configuring your Server" wizard, you can in Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Manage your server (Manage Your Server) running it, then check the page at the lower left corner of the window (Don't Display this Page At Logon). 2. Create a new user account Windows Server 2003 does not support login Welcome screens similar to Windows XP. You can build a new user account with your personality after the first time you enter the system. Open "Start" -> "Run" -> Type "LusRMGR.MSC", you will see local users and groups, right-click "users" (users) on the left window Select "New User". Enter the account information in the pop-up dialog box, then click "Creating".

Your own account login system. 3. Disabling Internet Explorer Enhanced Security As the IE Security Plugin in the new Windows component - Internet Explorer Enhanced Security defaults to your IE security settings to the highest. This will pop up the inquiry box in the access site and use it to browse the web and file downloads. We don't necessarily need this component. We first prohibit the appearance of the interrogation box, check "IN THE FUTURE, Do Not Show this message" in the pop-up dialog box (in the Future, Do Not Show this message), we can customize the security level for setting IE in the IE tool option . Pull the scroll bar on the Security tab to set the Internet area to "Medium", this level will be suitable for most people, if you have special requirements, this step will not suit you.
By settings to IE security, you can now install Sun's Java VM! Of course, you can even uninstall Internet Explorer Enhanced Security in Control Panel - Add Programs - Add or Remove Windows Components. 4. Installing Java VM Windows Server 2003 No integrated MS Java VM or Sun Java VM, you can download and install it yourself. 5. Disable Shutdown Event Tracker is also a setting of Windows Server 2003 from other workstation systems. This is a necessary choice for the server, but it is useless for the workstation system. We can also ban it. it. Open "Start ->" Run "GPEDIT.MSC", select "Computer Configuration" -> "Administrative Templates ->" "in the left section of the window appears. System "(SYSTEM), double-click" Shutdown Event Tracker "in the dialog box appear, select" Disabled ", click" OK "and then exit after saving, you will see similar to Windows 2000 Shutdown window 6. Enable hardware and DirectX Acceleration ★ Hardware Acceleration: Desktop Click Right click - Properties -> Settings - Advanced - Troubleshoot. Pull the hardware accelerated scroll bar to "Full" (FULL), it is best to click "OK" to save exit. The black screen that may appear in this period is completely normal. ★ DirectX Acceleration: Open "Start" -> "Run", type "dxdiag" and enter "DirectX Diagnostic Tool", in the Display page, click DirectDraw, Direct3D and AGP Texture Accelerates three buttons Enable acceleration. 7. Allow sound speed If you are using the Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition, please from the second step XX because the standard version has allowed sound services.
★ Open "Start" -> "Run", type "Services.msc", find "Windows Audio" in the window, and double-click it, then select the drop-down menu of the startup mode (STARTUP TYPE) "Automatic" and click "Apply" -> "Start) ->" OK "(START ->" Run ", type" DxDiag "and Enter" DirectX Tool "(DirectX Tool", in the "Sound" page, the "Hardware Sound Acceleration Level" (Full Acceleration "(Full Acceleration" ). 8. Enable desktop topics Maybe you have been bored with Windows Classic desktops, you have to consider enabling desktop topics, Windows Server 2003 is closed by default. Open "Start" -> "Run", type "Services.msc", look for themes and double-click it, then select Auto (Automatic " ), And click "Apply" -> "Start) ->" OK ". Such XX is also only three modes that can only use the Luna theme of Windows, if you want to use more For many third-party subject files, you need to use the modified UXTHEME.DLL file to support it, about the modified UXTHEME.DLL file, you can find more at http://vortex.winbeta.org/. 9. Allow built-in IMAPI CD-Burning services and support Windows Image Device Services ★ If you want to enable Windows built-in IMAPI CD-Burning services. Do the following XX: Open "Start" -> "Run", type "services.msc", find "IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service" in the window, and double-click it, then start mode (Startup type) drop-down menu Select "Automatic" and click "Apply" -> "Start) ->" OK "(OK) ★ If you have a digital camera and scanner Image devices, you should open the Windows Image Acquisition service.
Open "Start" -> "Run", type "Services.msc", find "Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)" and double-click on the window, then start mode (startup type) The drop-down menu selects "Automatic" and click "Apply" -> "Start" -> "OK" (OK) 10. Advanced Settings We can modify some of the Windows Server 2003 advanced settings to fit Application environment of the workstation. ★ Right click on "My Computer" - Advanced - Performance - Setting - Advanced, put "Processor Plan" Processor Scheduling) and Memory Usage are assigned to "Program". Then click "OK" (OK.) ★ Disable Error Report Right-click "My Computer" - Advanced - Click the "Error Reporting" button, The "Disable Error Reporting" appears and checks "but notifies me when serious errors" occurs (But, Notify Me When critical ERRORS OCCUR.) ★ Adjust the virtual memory to run Windows required The virtual memory is existing as "backup power" of physical memory. Although the hard disk is not as good as memory, the memory is not possible to compare with the hard disk on capacity. So we always think that the virtual memory is, the better, in fact, this is not the case, especially if the Windows Server 2003 does not assume high-load work in an environment that works workstation, we can try to disable virtual memory. The premise is that you have to have 512M physical memory. Many friends are worried that if you disable virtual memory will cause the system that cannot stand properly and sleep like in the Windows 9x environment, it is not like this, because it starts from Windows XP (ie pagefile.sys) is dedicated. In data exchange, the data is still retained in physical memory, and the sleep mode also has its dedicated sleep file (Hiberfil.sys), so there is no problem that the system cannot sleep. Some friends who use Windows Server 2003 often feel a bundle of shutdown and cancellation, where I have a personal solution is to disable virtual memory so that your logout and shutdown time may speed a lot. I did test today. When I loaded virtual memory, I canceled the user's returns to Windows for 3 seconds, and the shutdown was 23 seconds.
However, when disabling virtual memory, the time to log out of the login is reduced to 2 seconds, and the shutdown time is shortened to 3 seconds. Right-click My Computer - Properties - Advanced - Performance - Setting - Advanced, click on "Virtual Memory" ) Part "Change" and then select "No Page File" in the window. Restart the system. Note: Adjusting the virtual memory section has no problem with personal testing, but it is not guaranteed to be on your machine, so I don't take responsibility for any consequences caused by this setting. It is also recommended to try a friend who has a complained speed on Windows Server 2003 shutdown. 11. Automated login Windows Server 2003 By default, we can use the "Ctrl-ATL-DEL TO Login" dialog to log in to Windows, but we can use Windows XP Tweak UI to automatically log in to Server 2003. Download: Tweak ui http://www.ssite.org/uppic/sun_pic/.../tweakui.exe ;; Download Download directly to the panel of Tweakui.exe in the left panel Select Logon -> AutoLogon -> Tooth on the right Choose Log on Automatic AT System Startup Enter your username and domain name (if not not written) Click on the SET Password, enter your username, and then click OK. Although the same function can be completed by modifying the registry, the method of modifying the registry behaves in the registry, and the Tweak UI will not leave a clear text password in the registry, so I recommend using the Tweak UI to complete this work. 12. Installing the DirectX 9a is the same as the DirectX 9A installed on Windows Server 2003 and the method of installing DirectX 9A on other versions of Windows. Enable DirectX and Graphics Acceleration before installation. Download: DirectX 9.0A WebSetup http://download.microsoft.com/downl.../dxwebsetup.exe ;; 13. Hide file
Windows Server 2003 is displayed by default, if you don't want this, you can hide: Open any folder, choose Tools -> Folder Options -> View, select Do Not Show Hidden Files and Folders Click OK. In Windows Server 2003, Windows Media Player 9 has been installed, click Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Entertainment -> Windows Media Player to open it.
Install SQL2000 on Win2003, if you need to remotely manage your SQL, you must play SQL SP3, otherwise you can't connect, because the 1433 port of 2003 is closed, I used to find 1 day for this issue, and finally inadvertently I can play a patch.
