Yes Windows 2000 can used as a proxy. You need to install MS ISA
server on it or some other third party proxy/firewall product

Distributing software to ALL CLIENT COMPUTERS through AD - the
highlights:

* Download and install the GPMC
* Create an OU in AD
* Put the computer accounts of the clients in that same OU
* Create a GPO
* Assign the MSI package of firefox to it from a share (with at least
read permissions for the computer accounts). You can use a normal
share of a DFS share. (Computer configuration - software... etc.)
* Link the GPO to the OU
* Reboot the client and before the loginscreen shows you should see
the computer installing the software

Cheers,
