By default, Windows 2000 Server creates some user accounts that are used for its services. The user you will be using is Administrator. The user "adminsp" is ServePath's administrative account. This will be used by ServePath, if the Administrator user password is lost and needs to be reset, for example. In order to change the Administrator password, right click "My Computer" (located on your desktop), click "Manage" to open the "Computer Management" window, expand the "Local Users and Groups" icon, select the "Users" folder, right click the "Administrator" name, click "Set Password," enter the new password, and click OK.
Creating a New User
In order to create a new user, follow the steps above to access "Local Users and Groups," select the "Users" folder, right click the right pane, click "New User," fill out the necessary information, and click "Create." In order assign this user to be a member of a particular group, for example the "Administrators" group (full access to the server), you right click the username, click "Properties," select the "Member Of" tab, click "Add," select the "Administrators" group in the upper pane, click "Add," and click "OK." You will notice that the group in which you have added your user appears in the "Member of:" list.
IIS 5.0 (Internet Information Services version 5.0)
IIS is an integrated web server, FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server, SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server, and NNTP (Network News Transport Protocol) Server. NNTP will not be covered because it is beyond the scope of this tutorial. These services are installed in Windows 2000 Server by default. The following contains instructions on configuring a simple web site, FTP server, and modifying the SMTP server to not allow relaying.
