About Windows 2000 and Navision Financials 2.60

The Windows 2000 Active Directory™ and OnNow features simplify administration and security. Active Directory provides a centralized way to manage users, groups, security services and network resources. With Navision Financials 2.60, a system administrator can control setups and security for Navision Financials users from a centrally located Active Directory. The administrator can even do a remote installation.

The new hibernation feature known as OnNow saves power. And in combination with Active Directory, the OnNow feature allows a server to be switched off for maintenance without interrupting the Navision Financials users' session. As more and more employees need to work offline, a Roaming Users feature will allow users to see their personalized Navision Financials setup wherever they power up their system.
