Everyone knows that the win 2003 system is a very stable system, so both individual users and business users are favored by him, but this system can be even more Perfect, you can transform into a workstation. Compared with the workstation system, Windows Server 2003 has been greatly improved in terms of stability and security due to more kernel optimization. However, many people do not need the full functionality of the Server, and the Server system shuts down the services required by some workstation systems. Below, we will give some introduction on how to optimize Windows Server 2003 and convert it into a workstation system.

1. Disable the configuration server wizard

Since the server setting function is not required, first we must disable the "Configure your server" (Manage Your Server) wizard, you can control Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Manage your server (Manage Your Server) to run it, then check in the lower left corner of the window "Don't show the page when you log in" (Don & rsquo ;t display this page at logon).

2. Create a new user account

windows server 2003 does not support the Windows XP login welcome screen. You can create a new user account with your personality after entering the system for the first time.

Open “Start”(Start) -> “Run”(Run) -> Type“lusrmgr.msc ”, you will see local users and groups (Local Users and Groups ),

Right click on the “Users” in the left window and select “New User” (New User). Enter the account information in the pop-up dialog box, then click “ & rdquo; (Great). This will make your account available. Of course, you can choose to add your account to the Administrators group and right click on your new user. Then select & ldquo; Properties & rdquo; (Properties) - & gt; Click & ldquo; belonging to & rdquo; on Member of tab - & gt; & ldquo; Add & rdquo; Add .. - & gt; & ldquo; Superior & rdquo; Advanced - & gt; & ldquo; now Find “Find Now.

The IE security plugin that appears as a new Windows component -- Internet Explorer Enhanced Security sets your IE security to the highest by default. This way you will pop up a query box on the visiting site and block the browsing of your web pages and file downloads. We don't really need this component.

We first banned the query box, the pop-up dialog box, check & rdquo; future, do not show this message & ldquo; (In the future, do not show this message)

Then, We can customize the security level of IE in the IE tool options. On the Security tab, pull the scroll bar to set the Internet zone security to “(Medium). This level will suit most people. If you have special requirements, this step will not work for you. .

With the security settings for IE, you can now install Sun’s Java VM!

Of course, you can even add or remove Windows components in Control Panel - Add Programs - Uninstall Internet Explorer Enhanced Security.

4. Install Java VM

Windows Server 2003 does not have an integrated MS Java VM or Sun Java VM. You can download and install it yourself.

5. Disable shutdown event tracking

Shutdown Event Tracker is also a setting that distinguishes Windows server 2003 from other workstation systems. This is a necessary choice for servers. But for the workstation system it is useless, we can also ban it.
