Windows Server 2008 - Paul Hacker presentation
I’m currently attending an IndyNDA event, a local .NET developer’s group meeting in Indianapolis. The speaker, Paul Hacker is talking about Windows Server 2008.
Initial benefits he’s talking about is:
- less involved (babysitting) on the install
- no features enabled by default (allowing complete development and customization at the point of install)
- new server management screen
- Windows PowerShell - allowing more remote administration options. “Command prompt on steroids”
- 700 new policy options and functionality
- Server Core
- Windows Firewall w/ Advanced Security
- Failover Clustering
- Read-Only Domain Controllers
- numerous improvements to Active Directory
- new IIS 7.0 (Internet Information Services 7.0), run PHP on Windows Server machine using FastCGI
- Virtualization improvements - hypervisor: Presentation Virtualization, Server Virtualization, Desktop Virtualization, Application Virtualization
- Security Technologies: Network Access Protection
I don’t really have any personal experience with managing Windows Server for anything, other than just being another end-user like everyone else. Some of the features that Paul Hacker spoke of coming in this latest version sound pretty good though. Some of these features make me feel even more that Microsoft is still pushing a more open-source effort.
