SUMMARY
This article details the supported configurations for Microsoft .NET Enterprise Server products installed on the Windows 2000 MultiLanguage version.



MORE INFORMATION
The Microsoft .NET Enterprise Server family includes the following:
 * Microsoft Application Center 2000
 * Microsoft Commerce Server 2000
 * Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000
 * Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000
 * Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2000
 * Microsoft SQL Server 2000
 * Microsoft Exchange Server 2000

Localized (non-English) versions of these products are supported on the Windows 2000 MultiLanguage version when the following conditions are met:
 * The user interface (UI) is set to match the language of the localized server product. Switching of the UI is not supported.
 * The system locale is set to match the locale of the localized server product. To set the system locale for a server, in Control Panel, double-click Regional Options, click set default on the General tab. This setting is not specific to the MultiLanguage version of Windows 2000, and is used to achieve maximum compatibility with localized applications that contain non-unicode text or dialog boxes.
 * The installation of Windows 2000 U.S. Service Packs and hotfixes will not invalidate the supported configuration.

Considerations for running localized server products on a Multilanguage User Interface (MUI) computer:  MUI functionality in Windows 2000 Service Pack 1 has been disabled in the Microsoft Data Access Components.
