Intellimirror
A set of features that enables users' data, applications, and settings to follow them throughout their environment. Users have constant access to all of their information and applications, whether or not they are connected to the network, with the assurance that their data is safely maintained and available from the server.

At the core of IntelliMirror are three features:

- User Data Management
- Software Installation and Maintenance
- User Settings Management

When fully deployed, IntelliMirror uses Active Directory and Group Policy to provide policy-based management of users’ desktops. Through centrally defined policies based on the users’ business roles, group memberships, and location, Windows 2000 Professional desktops will automatically reconfigure to meet a specific user’s requirements each time that user logs onto the network.
