What languages would be viable...

I've inherited an Windows 2000 server with Interdev-enabled sites. I don't know how to find out which "interdev users" are mapped to domain/local accounts or how to change the users/passwords on an Interdev site.

Native C++ or .NET for Business App?

Here's the deal: I'm in the process of planning a mid-sized business application that absolutely must support Win2k.
