Microsoft Windows 2000 is a family of operating systems created by the company Microsoft for corporate computers and servers. There are many different versions of Windows 2000, though the major ones are Windows 2000 Professional and Windows 2000 Server. The major differences involve the number of processors availible to the machine and the number of concurrent users. Through the MSDNAA program, current WSU students are eligible to download free copies of the various versions of Windows 2000.

Computers on ResNET that are running Microsoft Windows 2000 are required to install and run the Cisco Clean Access Agent. This program makes sure the computer meets all the minimum virus and patch requirements of WSU. For more information, please read the tutorial Getting connected with MS Windows.

The Windows 2000 code was the basis for Windows XP, though many of the server options were removed. Windows 2000 was replaced with Windows 2003, the latest server software from Microsoft.
