From what you're said above, you need nothing more than Windows 2000 Server itself.<br />
<br />
The only thing that you might need in addition to that would be a MAIL SERVER. &nbsp;Windows 2000 Server includes an SMTP mail server but NOT a POP3 server for email delivery to end-users. &nbsp;If you do need such a thing you have many options. &nbsp;I'm partial to MDAEMON (<a href="http://www.mdaemon.com" rel="ugc">http://www.mdaemon.com</a>) but that is by no means the only possible solution.

What Software do we need in order to run our own Windows 2000 Proffesional Server

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
