The latest configuration tips for the Win 2003 system in 10 cases

As a server-specific operating system, Winows 2003 has made great progress in security, but it also caused the inconvenience of using the system process, this article for the example of 10 configuration Windows 2003 operating system tips, you can make it easier to use Windows 2003 operating system.

First, adjust the virtual memory

The virtual memory required to run Windows normally exists as a "backup force" for physical memory, although it is not as hard to run as memory, but memory on capacity cannot be compared to hard disks. So we've always thought that the larger the virtual memory, the better, in fact it is not, especially if the installation of Windows Server 2003 as a workstation environment does not bear the heavy workload of the situation, we can try to disable virtual memory. The premise is that you must have 512M of physical memory above. Many friends worry if disabling virtual memory will not cause the system to suspend and hibernate as if it were in a Windows 9x environment, in fact, this is not the case, because from Windows XP, its virtual memory (that is, Pagefile.sys) is dedicated to data exchange, In standby mode, the data remains in physical memory, and hibernation mode has its own dedicated hibernation file (Hiberfil.sys), so there is absolutely no problem with the system not sleeping. While some friends who use Windows Server 2003 often feel helpless about their shutdown and logoff slowness, my solution here is to disable virtual memory so that your logoff and shutdown times can be much faster. I did a test today, the time to log off the user to log on to Windows with the virtual memory loaded is 3 seconds and the shutdown is 23 seconds. However, when virtual memory is disabled, the log-off time is reduced to 2 seconds, while the shutdown time is reduced to 3 seconds.

Right-click "My Computer", properties, advanced, performance---Advanced, click "Change" in the "Virtual Memory" section, and then select "No paging File" in the window that appears. Reboot the system.

Note: Adjusting the virtual Memory section has no problem with personal testing, but there is no guarantee that this is the case on your machine, so I am not responsible for any consequences of this setting. Just recommend that a friend try to have a complaint about the Windows Server 2003 shutdown speed.

Second, automatically enter the Windows Server 2003 system

Every time you run a Windows Server 2003 system, you need to press and hold the Ctrl+alt+delete composite key, and then enter the login password to enter the system, if you need to log in frequently, you may not be able to stand such a wordy step. At this point, you may want to follow the steps below to let the system automatically complete the logon operation:

1. In the Run dialog box, enter registry Edit command regedit to open the Registry editing window;

2, in the window, expand Hkey_local_machinessoftwaremicrosoftwindowsntcurrent versionwinlogon key value;

3. In the corresponding child window to the right, right-click in the space, from the popup shortcut menu, execute "new"/"string" command to create a string type key name, and set the key name to "AutoAdminLogon", and set the value of the key name to "1";

4, find the "DefaultDomainName" key name, and double-click the mouse, in the subsequent window, enter the domain name to log in, such as department;

5, double-click the "DefaultUserName" key name, in the subsequent window opened, directly enter the user name to log in to this domain, such as "test";

6. In the child window on the right side of the Winlogon, right-click in the space, and from the popup shortcut menu, execute the new/string command to create a string type key name and set the key name to "DefaultPassword". and set the value of the key name to the user login system password, such as user test login password is "123456";

7, after the setup, restart the computer, we will find no need to log in, you can automatically enter into the Windows Server 2003 system. To cancel the auto-login function later, you can set the "AutoAdminLogon" key value to "0".

Third, cancel the security check of the website

Newly installed Windows Server 2003 operating system, open the browser to query online information, found that IE always "bother" to prompt us, whether you need to add the currently visited site to their trusted site, if you do not trust, you can not open the specified Web page; You must click the Add button to add the page to the list of trusted sites. However, every time you visit the Web page, you have to go through this step, it is obviously too cumbersome. In fact, we can use the following method to let IE cancel the site security check:

1. Follow the start/Settings/Control Panel command in the Open Control Panel window and double-click the Add and Remove Programs icon to switch the interface to the Add and remove Windows Components page;

2. Use the mouse to select the "Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration" option and continue clicking the Next button to remove the option from the system;

3. Then click the "Finish" button to exit the component Removal Prompt window.

Later, when the Internet, IE will not automatically check the security of the site, so that can be a lot less trouble.

Iv. tips for canceling the shutdown reason

When you close the Windows Server 2003 operating system, a prompt window will pop up asking you to choose the reason to turn off the computer option, although this method can enhance the security of the system, ensure that users manage and maintain the computer more effectively, but every time you shut down or restart the system, It is not necessary to choose the reason for shutting down. Therefore, in order to quickly shut down the computer, you can follow the steps below to cancel the shutdown cause of the prompt:

1. Open the Control Panel window, double-click the Power Options icon, and in the Power Properties window that appears, go to the "Advanced" tab.

2. In the "power button" setting of this page, set the "When the computer power button is pressed" to "Shut down", click "OK" button to exit the setting box;

3, after the need to shut down, you can directly press the power button, you can directly shut down the computer. Of course, we can also enable the Sleep function keys, to achieve fast shutdown and boot;

4, if the system does not have sleep mode enabled, you can open the Power options in the Control Panel window, go to the Sleep tab page, and in which the "Enable hibernation" option is selected.

V. Adding a new user to a specified group

When you want to add a new user to a Windows Server 2003 system, and find that the System Control Panel window does not have a "user" icon that we are very familiar with, then where do we start to add new users to the system's designated group? Hehe, Windows Server 2003 seems to be different! After several groping, I found the method to add a new user for the specified group, as follows:

1, right-click on the desktop "My Computer" icon, from the shortcut menu open, execute the "management" command, pop up a Computer Management window;

2. Expand the Local Users and Groups folder in the window, and then select the user option under the folder, and in the right subwindow, we can see all the users that already exist in the current system, where the user with the Red Cross indicates that it has been created but not enabled;

3. Right-click on the left margin of the right child window, execute the "Add new User" command from the context menu, enter the relevant information of the user to be added in the window that appears, and finally click the "Create" button to end the new user's addition work;

4, for the user to add to the specified group, you can select the "group" option, and then from the Right child window, select the name of the group you want to join, and right-click on the shortcut menu to perform the "Add to Group" command;

5, in the subsequent interface, and then click the "Add" command, the previously created users to add in.

Vi. invoking the Windows XP-style interface

When you install the Windows Server 2003 system into the desktop, we find that the display style of the system desktop is "Windows Classic style". After looking at this style, you will feel a bit dull, do you want to change the desktop display style? If you attempt to invoke other style interfaces by displaying the properties ' appearance settings, you will find that this "path" does not work; When invoked through Group Policy, only the current style can be selected. So do we have a way to invoke other style styles, such as Windows XP? as follows, we can easily achieve the purpose of invocation:

1, in the System Start menu, expand Control Panel, Administrative Tools and Services window, in the corresponding service in the right sub-window, with the mouse to select the "Themes" option;

2. When we look at the parameters of this option carefully, we find that the service is forbidden by default, so we cannot invoke other style styles;

3. To do this, we must start the service; double-click the service option with your mouse, then open the General tab, set the startup type for the service to "automatic", and then click the "Apply" button;

4, at this time, the "Service status" setting in the "Start" button is automatically activated, click the "Start" button, the system will be able to use the themes service;

5. Go back to the system desktop and right-click in the space, execute the Properties command from the shortcut menu, and then open the Appearance tab page, where the Windows XP style or other display style is selected at the window and buttons.

6, to this point, the System Toolbar menu, window and other styles will be displayed according to the specified style.

Seven, skip disk maintenance wait time

The next time the computer restarts, it will take about 10 seconds for the computer to run ScanDisk and check the disk for errors if it is due to an unexpected cause, such as a sudden power outage or a crash. If you are a person who cherish time as gold, certainly will not wait for nothing in vain. Then come with me and skip this check-and-wait period:

1, in the Start menu, execute the "program"/"Accessories"/"Command Prompt" command, the interface switch to DOS command line state;

2, the direct input "chkntfs/t: 0" command, click the return, the system can automatically change the check disk waiting time to 0;

3, the next time you encounter an abnormal situation, after restarting the computer, the system calls ScanDisk again, there is no need to wait.

Eight, allow sound acceleration

If you are using Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition, do this from step two, because Standard Edition has allowed the sound service.

Open start, run, type "services.msc", find "Windows Audio" in the window that appears and double-click it, then select "Auto" in the startup Mode drop-down menu and click "Apply", "Start", "OK"

Open start, run, type DxDiag and enter to open the DirectX Diagnostic Tool, and on the sound page, pull the hardware acceleration level scroll bar to full acceleration.

Nine, create a new user account

Windows Server 2003 does not support a Windows XP-like logon Welcome screen. You can create a new user account with your personality after you first enter the system.

Open start, run, type lusrmgr.msc, and you'll see local Users and Groups,

Right click on "User" in the left window and select "New User". Enter the account information in the dialog box that pops up and click "Create". This way your account will be available, of course, you can choose to add your account to the Administrators group, right-click on your new user. Then select Properties, click "Add", "advanced", "Find Now".

In the Find Results dialog box, double-click Admin and close Local users and groups after two clicks of OK, and now you will be able to log off the administrator user and log into the system with your own account.

X. Disabling Internet Explorer enhanced Security

The IE Security plugin--internet Explorer Enhanced urity, which appears as a new Windows component, sets your IE security to the highest by default. This way you will pop up the inquiry box on the visit site and prevent you from browsing the Web and downloading the file. We don't necessarily need this component.

We first disable the appearance of the inquiry box, check the "Don't show this message later" in the Pop-up dialog box (the future, does not show this message) and then we can customize the security level of IE in the IE tool options. Pull the scrollbar on the Security tab to set the Internet zone Security to Medium (Medium), this level will fit most people, and if you have special requirements, this step will not work for you.

With the setting for IE security, you can now install the Sun ' s Java vm!

Of course, you can even uninstall Internet Explorer enhanced Security in the Control Panel-Add programs-Add or remove Windows components.
