Microsoft Windows 2000 Server is an operating system for use on server computers.

Windows 2000 Server is an operating system for use on server computers. It was produced by Microsoft and released to manufacturing on December 15, 1999 and launched to retail on February 17, 2000. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation.

Three editions of Windows 2000 Server were released:

  1. Server
  2. Advanced Server
  3. Datacenter Server

The latter was both released to manufacturing and launched months after the other editions.
