Verifying Required System Modules

Directory Server is not supported on Windows 2000 Pro or Windows 2000
DataCenter Server.

Installing Windows 2000 Server

During the installation of Windows 2000, please observe the following:
• If there is already an operating system present on the computer, choose to
perform a fresh install rather than an upgrade.
• Format the drives with NTFS rather than FAT, as NTFS allows access controls
to be set on files and directories.
• Specify that the computer will be a stand-alone server and will not be a
member of any existing domain or workgroup. This will reduce dependencies
on the network security services.
• Choose an administrator password of at least 9 characters. Use punctuation or
other non-alphabetic characters in the first 7 characters.
• Do not install Internet Information Server.
• Specify only TCP/IP as network protocol, and do not install any other network
services.

Installing Third-Party Utilities

You need an UNZIP utility to unpack the directory server software. There are
many commercially licensed, free and shareware tools available, such as PKZIP or
Winzip. Please note that shareware unregistered versions of PKZIP 2.70 maintain a
TCP/IP connection to an Internet advertising service, and so may not be suitable
for installation on this system.
You need Adobe Acrobat Reader to read the documentation. If you do not have it
installed, you can download it from:
