Windows 2000 systems are so much more user-led to the top of the system, but that's not to say that Windows 2000 is not as safe as it is reasonably configured and well-managed. I use Windows 2000 time is not short, for the maintenance of its security, but also gradually feel a little road, the following is a little personal insights, deficiencies, but also please correct me.
Safety installation to minimize worries
The security of the Windows 2000 system should be built up from the time it was installed, but this is often overlooked. The following are some of the things you need to be aware of when you install Windows 2000:
1, do not choose to install from the network
While Microsoft supports online installation, it is absolutely unsafe. Do not connect to the network until the system is fully installed, especially internet! do not even connect all the hardware to the installation. Since Windows 2000 is installed, the system creates a "$ADMIN" shared account after entering the user administrator's password, but does not protect it with the password you just entered, which continues until the computer starts again. During this time, anyone can enter the system through the "$ADMIN", while the installation is complete and the various services will run automatically, while the server is also full of vulnerabilities and is very vulnerable to intrusion from the outside.
2, to select the NTFS format to partition
It is best that all partitions are in NTFS format because the NTFS-formatted partitions are more secure. Even if other partitions are in other formats (such as FAT32), they should be in NTFS format at least in the partition where the system resides.
In addition, the application should not be placed in the same partition as the system, lest the attacker exploit the application's vulnerabilities (such as Microsoft's IIS vulnerabilities, which you will not be unaware of) causing system files to leak, or even remotely obtaining administrator privileges from intruders.
3, the system version of the choice
We generally like to use the Chinese interface software, but for Microsoft's things, due to geographical location and market factors, are the first English version, then the other languages in other countries version. In other words, the kernel language of Windows is English, so that its kernel version should be a lot less than its compiled version of the vulnerability, the fact is so, Windows 2000 of the Chinese input method of the leak uproar we are all for the obvious.
