Windows 2000 Server
Windows 2000 Server is not a recommended operating system for Clients.

both the Windows 2000 Professional and Windows 2000 Server Operating
Systems, the preferred Client Operating System between the two is Windows
2000 Professional. This version of the operating system better fits the nature
of the client/server architecture.
