With the advent of Windows Server 2003, many people can use the leaked version, relative to the workstation system, where the server is
To do more kernel optimization, so there is a great improvement in stability and security. However, many people do not need the full server
department, and the server system shuts down the services required by some workstation systems, below, we will optimize the Windows
Server 2003 and transform it into a workstation system to make some introductions.
1. Disable the Configure Server Wizard
Since there is no need for server provisioning, first we disable the "Configure Your Server" (Manage Your Server) wizard.
You can manage your server in the Control Panel-> Administrator tool (Administrative Tools)->
(Manage Your Server) to run it, and then in the lower left corner of the window check "Do not show this page at logon" (Don t display
This page at logon).
2. Create a new user account
Windows Server 2003 does not support the login Welcome screen similar to Windows XP. You can build a system after your first entry
Personality of the new user account.
Open start-> run-> type "Lusrmgr.msc" and you will see Local Users and Groups
(Local Users and Groups),
Right-click Users on the left window and select New user. Enter the account information in the dialog box that pops up
, and then click "Build" (great). So your account is available, of course, you can choose to add your account to the Administrators group,
Right-click on your new user. Then select Properties-> Click "affiliate to" "Member" tab->
Add ... -> "Advanced" Advanced-> "now look for" find today.
Double-click Administrators in the Find Results dialog box and close the local user after you click OK two times
And groups (Local Users and Groups window), now you will be able to log off the administrator user with your own account login
Recording system.
3. Disable Internet Explorer enhanced security
The IE security plugin that appears as a new Windows Component--internet Explorer Enhanced security defaults to set your IE safety to
Highest. This way you will be in the Access Site pop-up query box and for you to browse the Web and file download to prevent the behavior. We don't really need
This component.
We first prohibit the query box from appearing, and in the pop-up dialog box, check "Do not show this information later" (in the future, do
Not show this message)
Then, we can customize the security level of IE in the IE tool option. Pull the scroll bar on the Security tab
Set Internet zone security to Medium (Medium), this level will fit most people, if you have special requirements, this step
will not suit you.
By setting the security for IE, you can now install Sun ' s Java vm!
Of course, you can even uninstall Internet Explorer in the Control Panel--adding programs--adding or removing Windows components
Enhanced security.
4. Install Java VM
Windows Server 2003 does not have an integrated MS Java VM or a Sun Java VM, and you can download and install it yourself.
5. Disable Shutdown Event tracking
Shutdown Event Tracking (Shutdown event Tracker) is also a setup that differs from other workstation systems in Windows Server 2003
, this is a necessary choice for the server, but it's not useful for the workstation system, and we can also ban it.
Open "Start" Start-> "Run" Running run-> enter "Gpedit.msc", in the left part of the window that appears, select "Compute
machine configuration (Computer Configuration)-> "Administrative Templates" (Administrative Template)-> "System" (
System), in the right window, double-click "Shutdown Event Tracker"
In the dialog box that appears, select Disabled, click and OK to save and exit
In this way, you will see a shutdown window similar to Windows 2000
6. Enabling hardware and DirectX acceleration

★directx Acceleration: Open "Start"-> "Run", type "DxDiag" and return to open "DirectX
Diagnostics tool (DirectX tools), on the Display page, click DirectDraw, Direct3D and AGP
Texture accelerates three buttons to enable acceleration.
7. Allow Sound acceleration

★ Open "Start" (start)-> "Run", type "services.msc", and find in the window that appears
"Windows Audio" and double-click it, and then select Automatic in the Drop-down menu in startup mode (startup type) (Automatic

is to turn off this service.

Services.msc and double-click it, and then select Automatic (Automatic) in the Drop-down menu in startup mode (startup type).

Pieces, you need to use the modified Uxtheme.dll file to support it, and about the modified Uxtheme.dll file, you can

Report "(Error Reporting) button," Disable Error Reporting "(Disable error Reporting) in the window that appears

★ Adjust Virtual memory
The virtual memory required to run Windows normally exists as a "backup force" of physical memory, although the drive is not as fast as
Memory, but memory on the capacity is not comparable to the hard disk. So we always think that the larger the virtual memory the better, in fact, and
This is not the case, especially when installing Windows Server 2003 as a workstation in an environment that does not assume a high load of work, we
You can try disabling virtual memory. The premise is that you must have more than 512M of physical memory. Many friends worry if disabling virtual memory will be like
In the case of Windows 9x environments that cause systems to not stand up and hibernate, this is not true, since Windows XP starts
Its virtual memory (ie Pagefile.sys) is dedicated to data exchange, while standby mode data remains in the physical memory, sleep mode
Type also has its own dedicated hibernate file (Hiberfil.sys), so there is absolutely no problem that the system will not hibernate. Instead of using Windows
Some friends of server 2003 often feel helpless about their shutdown and logoff slowness, and my personal solution is to disable virtual
Quasi-memory, so that your logoff and shutdown time may be much faster. I did a test today to log off a user with virtual memory loaded
The time to log on to Windows is 3 seconds and the shutdown is 23 seconds. However, when you disable virtual memory, the time to log off the login is reduced to 2 seconds,
And the shutdown time is shortened to 3 seconds.
Right-click on "My Computer" (my Computer)--Properties--Advanced (Advanced)--performance
(performance)--Settings (Setting)--Advanced (Advanced), click "Virtual Memory" (memory)
Change, and then select No paging file in the window that appears. Reboot the system.
Note: It is not a problem to adjust the virtual memory section for personal testing, but it is not guaranteed to be the same on your machine, so I do not set this
Bear responsibility for any consequences caused by the placement. Just a friend who recommends complaining about the speed of Windows Server 2003 shutdown attempts.
11. Automatic Landing
Windows Server 2003 defaults to using the Ctrl-atl-del to Login dialog box to log on to Windows, but we can
Use the Windows XP tweak UI to automatically log on to Server 2003.
In the left panel select logon-> autologon-> on the right tick log on automatically at system startup input
Your username and domain name (if not written)
Click the set Password below, enter the username password, and then click OK.
Although the same functionality can be done by modifying the registry, the method password that modifies the registry displays plaintext in the registry and
The Tweak UI does not leave plaintext passwords in the registry, so it is recommended that you use the Tweak UI to do this work.
12. Install DirectX 9a
Installing DirectX 9a on Windows Server 2003 and installing DirectX 9a on other versions of Windows is the same. An
Enable DirectX and Graphics acceleration before loading.
