Microsoft's network operating system Windows Server 2003 (referred to as Windows 2003) has added a lot of valuable features, such as remote maintenance of the Web interface. With this feature, network administrators can remotely maintain the entire Windows 2003 system through a web browser. Let's take a look at the convenience of the remote maintenance web interface.
