General 8068 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

The Court recently migrated 63 servers and more than 1,200 client PCs to Windows 2000. The operating system has boosted reliability and manageability.

And it powers the Court's public Web site, which lawyers and others use to conduct free background checks and query all state case laws.
