To increase the network speed

QoS Packet Scheduler is a method of network bandwidth management that

Can monitor the importance of data packets and depending upon the priority
of the packet, give it higher or lower priority or bandwidth levels. It's not very
Useful unless you're using apps which are QoS-aware or running a server, so
You can gain some network overhead back by turning it off.

Configuring Active Directory

If you want to create security groups in Active Directory or raise the domain functional level, perform the following
procedures.

Important

If you have or will have any domain controllers running Windows NT 4.0 and earlier, then do not raise the
domain functional level to Windows 2000 native. After the domain functional level is set to Windows
native, it cannot be changed back to Windows 2000 mixed. If you have or will have any domain
controllers running Windows NT 4.0 and earlier or Windows 2000, then do not raise the domain functional
level to Windows Server 2003. After the domain functional level is set to Windows Server 2003, it cannot
be changed back to Windows 2000 mixed or Windows 2000 native.

If you want to raise the domain functional level to either Windows 2000 native or Windows Server 2003, do the
following:
1. Open the Active Directory Domains and Trusts snap-in. To open Active Directory Domains and Trusts,

click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Active Directory
Domains and Trusts.

then click Raise.

Note

To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Domain Admins group in the domain for which
you want to raise functionality or the Enterprise Admins group in Active Directory, or you must have been
delegated the appropriate authority. The current domain functional level is displayed under Current
domain functional level in the Raise Domain Functional Level dialog box.
To create a group and add members to the group, do the following:
