Communications

Communication is the lifeblood of businesses—and not just network communications, important as they are. Windows Server 2003 includes numerous changes designed to make communicating easier and more reliable. For connections both inside and outside your business, Windows Server 2003 offers the following tools:

  • Through the Internet support built into the operating system, users can send e-mail, chat, and view newsgroups.

  • SharePoint Team Services allow groups to share files, participate in discussions, and communicate a variety of information via Web pages. Administrators manage site security and subwebs. [SharePoint Team Services is not installed by default, and Internet Information Services (IIS) is required for installation.]
