As a server-specific operating system, Winows 2003 has made great progress in security, but this also caused the inconvenience in the use of the system, this article gives you an example of 10 configure the Windows 2003 operating system skills, you can make it easier to use Windows 2003 operating system.
First, adjust the virtual memory
The virtual memory required to run Windows normally is a "backup force" of physical memory, although the drive is not as fast as memory, but the memory on the capacity is not comparable to the hard disk. So we always think that the bigger the virtual memory, the better, in fact, is not the case, especially when installing Windows Server 2003 as a workstation environment does not bear the high workload, we can try to disable virtual memory. The premise is that you must have more than 512M of physical memory. Many friends worry that if disabling virtual memory does not cause the system to stand up and hibernate as it would in a Windows 9x environment, this will not happen because Windows XP began its virtual memory (ie Pagefile.sys) is dedicated to data exchange, Standby mode while the data remain in physical memory, Hibernate mode also has its own dedicated hibernation file (Hiberfil.sys), so the system will never hibernate problems. While some friends who use Windows Server 2003 often feel overwhelmed with their shutdown and logoff slowness, my solution is to disable virtual memory so that your logoff and shutdown times may be much faster. I did a test today, and when I loaded virtual memory, it was 3 seconds to log off the user and the shutdown was 23 seconds. However, when the virtual memory is disabled, the time to log off the login is reduced to 2 seconds, while the shutdown time is shortened to 3 seconds.
Right-click on "My Computer"-> Properties-> Advanced-> performance-> settings-> advanced, click "Change" in "Virtual Memory" section, 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 on your machine, so I am not liable for any consequences of this setting. Just a friend who recommends complaining about the speed of Windows Server 2003 shutdown attempts.
II. automatic access to Windows Server 2003 systems
Every time you run the Windows Server 2003 system, you need to hold down the Ctrl+alt+delete compound key at the same time, then enter the login password to enter the system; If you need to log on to the system frequently, you may not be able to stand up to this verbose step. At this point, you may wish to follow the following steps to allow the system to automatically complete the login operation:
1, in the Run dialog box, enter the registry edit command regedit, to open the Registry editing window;
2. In the window, expand Hkey_local_machinessoftwaremicrosoftwindowsntcurrent versionwinlogon key value sequentially;
3, in the corresponding to the right side of the child window, right-click in the margin, from the pop-up shortcut menu, follow the 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 "DefaultDomainName" key name, and double-click with 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 open window, directly enter the username to log into this domain, such as "test";
6, in the Winlogon to the right of the child window, right-click the space, from the pop-up shortcut menu, followed by the "New"/"string" command, to create a string type of 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 that no longer need to log on, you can automatically enter the Windows Server 2003 system. In the future to cancel the automatic login function, you can set the "AutoAdminLogon" key value to "0" on it.
Third, the cancellation of the site security check
Newly installed Windows Server 2003 operating system, open the browser to query online information, found that IE always "bother" to remind us, whether we need to add the Web site currently visited to their trusted sites; 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 Web sites. But every time you visit the Web, you have to go through such steps, which is obviously too cumbersome. In fact, we can use the following methods to let IE cancel the site security inspection:
1, sequentially executes the "start"/"Settings"/"Control Panel" command, in the Open Control Panel window, double-click the "Add and Remove Programs" icon, the interface switch to the "Add and Remove Windows Components" page;
2, with the mouse to select the "Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration" option, continue to click the Next button, you can remove this option from the system;
3, click the "Finish" button again, exit the component Deletion 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 shut down the Windows Server 2003 operating system, a prompt appears asking you to choose the reason for shutting down your computer, although this approach enhances the security of your system, ensuring that users manage and maintain your computer more efficiently, but each time you shut down or reboot the system, It is not necessary to choose the reason for shutting down the machine. So, in order to quickly shut down the computer, you can follow the steps below to remove the reason for the shutdown prompts:
1, open the Control Panel window, double-click the "Power Options" icon, in the subsequent Power Properties window, into the "Advanced" tab page;
2, on the page of the "power button" settings, will be "when the computer power button" set to "Shutdown", click the "OK" button to exit the settings 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 key to achieve fast shutdown and boot;
4, if the system does not enable the sleep mode, you can in the Control Panel window, open the Power options, go to the Hibernate tab page, and in which the "Enable Hibernate" option to select it.
V. Add new users to a specified group
When you want to add a new user to a Windows Server 2003 system, you find that the System Control Panel window does not have the "user" icon that we are very familiar with, so where do we start to add new users to the system's specified group? Oh, Windows Server 2003 seems to be different! After several groping, I found the method of adding new users to the specified group, the following steps:
1, with the right mouse click on the desktop "My Computer" icon, from the Open shortcut menu, execute the "management" command, pop-up a Computer Management window;
2. Expand the Local Users and Groups folder in this window, then select the "User" option under the folder, and then in the child on the right, 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 right side of the child window blank, from the right menu to execute the "Add new User" command, in the subsequent window, enter the user needs to add relevant information, and finally click the "Create" button to end the new user's add work;
4, if you want the user to add to the specified group, you can select the group option, and then from the right side of the child window, select the group name you want to join, and right-click it, execute the shortcut menu, "Add to Group" command;
5, in the subsequent interface, and then click the Add command, add the user you created earlier.
Vi. calling Windows XP style interface
When the Windows Server 2003 system is installed into the desktop, we will find that the system desktop display style is "Windows Classic style." Accustomed to this style, you will feel a bit boring, want to change the desktop display style? If you try to invoke the other style interface by displaying the appearance settings of the property, you will find that this "road" does not work, and when invoked by Group Policy, it is found that only the current style can be selected. So is there any way we can invoke other style styles, such as the Windows XP style? Using the following method, we can easily implement the calling purpose:
1, in the system's Start menu, expand the Control Panel, the management tool and the service window in turn, in the corresponding service's right child window, selects "Themes" the option with the mouse;
2. When you look closely at the parameters of this option, you find that the service is prohibited by default, so we cannot invoke other styles;
3. To this end, we must start the service; double-click the Service option, then open the General tab, set the startup type that should be serviced to Automatic, and click the Apply button;
4, at this point, the "Service status" settings in the "Start" button is automatically activated, click the "Start" button, you can use the Themes service in the system;
5, return to the System desktop, and right-click the space, from the shortcut menu to perform the Properties command, and then open the appearance of the label page, where the window and buttons, select the Windows XP style or other display style.
6, so far, the system's toolbar menus, windows and other styles will be in accordance with the specified style to display.
Vii. Skip disk Overhaul wait time
Once the computer is restarted for unexpected reasons, such as a sudden power outage or a crash, the system will take about 10 seconds to run ScanDisk to check for errors in the disk. If you are a treasure, you will not wait in vain. Then come with me and skip this check waiting time:
1, in the Start menu, followed by the "program"/"Attachment"/"Command Prompt" command, the interface to switch to the DOS command line State;
2, directly enter the "chkntfs/t: 0" command, click the ENTER key, the system can automatically check the disk waiting time to modify to 0;
3, the next time you encounter an abnormal situation, restart the computer, the system calls the disk scanner, there is no need to wait.
Eight, allow sound acceleration
If you are using the Windows Server 2003 Standard version, make it from step two, because the standard version has allowed sound services.
Open "Start"-> "Run", type "services.msc", locate "Windows Audio" in the window that appears, double-click it, and then select "Automatic" in the Drop-down menu in startup mode and click "Apply"-> "Start"-> "OK"
Open start-> Run, type "DxDiag" and enter the DirectX Diagnostics tool, and on the Sound page, pull the "hardware acceleration level of sound" scroll bar to full acceleration.
Nine, create a new user account
Windows Server 2003 does not support the login Welcome screen similar to Windows XP. You can create a new user account with your personality when you first enter the system.
Open "Start"-> "Run"-> type "lusrmgr.msc" and you will see Local Users and Groups,
Right-click the "user" in the left window and select "New User". Enter the account information in the pop-up dialog box and click "Build". 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"-> "Add"-> "advanced"-> "Find Now".
In the Find Results dialog box, double-click Administrator, close "Local Users and Groups" after two clicks "OK", and now you will be able to log off the administrator user to login to the system with your own account.
X. Disable Internet Explorer enhanced security
The IE security plugin that appears as a new Windows Component--internet Explorer Enhanced urity defaults to setting your IE security to the 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 appearance of the query box, and in the pop-up dialog box, check the "Don't display this information later" (in the future, don't show this message) and then we can customize the security level of IE in the IE tools option. Pull the scroll bar on the Security tab to set the Internet zone security to "medium" (Medium), a level that will suit most people, and if you have a particular request, this step will not suit you.
By setting the security for IE, 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-to add or remove Windows components.
