Improved Features

To-Do Lists and Home Snap-In
Post-setup configuration task lists and a BackOffice Home Page help IT personnel get up and running even faster, providing access to tools, documentation, and external knowledge on configuring and using BackOffice Server 2000.

Custom Administrator Consoles with Management Wizards
The BackOffice Management Console provides a single, simple UI for managing tasks across multiple BackOffice Server components, which can be customized and delivered to administrators or n-tier help desk specialists around the organization -- and even installed on client workstations. New unique server wizards help with administration tasks such as managing user accounts and mailboxes, e-mail distribution lists, and Active Directory queries. New saved consoles can be created from the basic building blocks of management wizards and snap-ins.

Integrated Setup
BackOffice Server 2000 installs and configures all application components and service packs through a single integrated setup utility that includes disk space, system compatibility, and dependency checking. BackOffice Server Setup detects current version levels and recommends appropriate component or service pack upgrades. BackOffice Server Setup significantly reduces the complexity of server setup by automatically defaulting many common parameters and consolidating the number of setup screens that administrators must "walk through."
