Windows Server 2008 Product Overview
Windows Server 2008 is the most advanced Windows Server operating system yet, designed to power the next-generation of networks, applications, and Web services. With Windows Server 2008 you can develop, deliver, and manage rich user experiences and applications, provide a highly secure network infrastructure, and increase technological efficiency and value within your organization.
Windows Server 2008 builds on the success and strengths of its Windows Server predecessors while delivering valuable new functionality and powerful improvements to the base operating system. New Web tools, virtualization technologies, security enhancements, and management utilities help save time, reduce costs, and provide a solid foundation for your information technology (IT) infrastructure.
A Solid Foundation for Your Business
Windows Server 2008 provides a solid foundation for all of your server workload and application requirements while also being easy to deploy and manage. The all new Server Manager provides a unified management console that simplifies and streamlines server setup, configuration, and ongoing management. Windows PowerShell, a new command-line shell, helps enable administrators to automate routine system administration tasks across multiple servers. Windows Deployment Services provides a simplified, highly secure means of rapidly deploying the operating system via network-based installations. And Windows Server 2008 Failover Clustering wizards, and full Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) support plus consolidated management of Network Load Balancing, make high availability easy to implement even by IT generalists.
The new Server Core installation option of Windows Server 2008 allows for installation of server roles with only the necessary components and subsystems without a graphical user interface. Fewer roles and features means minimizing disk and service footprints while reducing attack surfaces. It also enables your IT staff to specialize according to the server roles they need to support.
Virtualization Built-in
Windows Server Hyper-V, the next-generation hypervisor-based server virtualization technology, allows you to make the best use of your server hardware investments by consolidating multiple server roles as separate virtual machines running on a single physical machine. You can also efficiently run multiple operating systems - Windows, Linux, and others – in parallel on a single server. With Hyper-V and simple licensing policies, it's now easier than ever to take advantage of the cost savings of virtualization.
Applications can also be efficiently virtualized using Windows Server 2008 centralized application access technologies. Terminal Services Gateway and Terminal Services RemoteApp allow easy remote access to standard Windows-based programs from anywhere by running them on a terminal server instead of directly on a client computer - without the need for a complicated virtual private network (VPN).
Built for the Web
Windows Server 2008 comes with Internet Information Services 7.0 (IIS 7.0), a Web server and security-enhanced, easy-to-manage platform for developing and reliably hosting Web applications and services. A major enhancement to the Windows Web platform, IIS 7.0 includes a componentized architecture for greater flexibility and control. IIS 7.0 also provides simplified management, powerful diagnostic and troubleshooting capabilities that save time, and comprehensive extensibility.
Internet Information Server IIS 7.0 together with the .NET Framework 3.0 provides a comprehensive platform for building applications that connect users and data, enabling them to visualize, share, and act on information. Additionally, IIS 7.0 plays a central role in unifying Microsoft's Web platform technologies—ASP.NET, Windows Communication Foundation Web services, and Windows SharePoint Services.
High Security
Windows Server 2008 is the most secure Windows Server yet. The operating system has been hardened to help protect against failure and several new technologies help prevent unauthorized connections to your networks, servers, data, and user accounts. Network Access Protection (NAP) helps ensure that computers that try to connect to your network comply with your organization's security policy. Technology integration and several enhancements make Active Directory services a potent unified and integrated Identity and Access (IDA) solution. And Read-Only Domain Controller (RODC) and BitLocker Drive Encryption allow you to more securely deploy your AD database at branch office locations.
High Performance Computing
The benefits and cost savings of Windows Server 2008 extend to Windows HPC Server 2008 for your high performance computing (HPC) environment. Windows HPC Server 2008 is built on Windows Server 2008, x64-bit technology and can efficiently scale to thousands of processing cores with out-of-the-box functionality to improve the productivity, and reduce the complexity of your HPC environment. Windows HPC Server 2008 enables broader adoption by providing a rich and integrated end-user experience that scales from the desktop application to the clusters, and includes a comprehensive set of deployment, administration, and monitoring tools that are easy to deploy, manage, and integrate with your existing infrastructure.

WE CAN FIND A DRASTIC CHANGE WHEN WE COMPARE WINDOW SERVER 2003 TO WINDOW SERVER 2008, ITS A JOURNEY OF EVOLUTION. JUST ONE COMMAND IS ENOUGH I THINK UNLEASHES THE ENTIRE CHANGE BETWEEN WINDOWS SERVER 2003 AND WINDOWS SERVER 2008, YEAH, YOU MUST BE THINKING WHAT COMMAND IS THAT, YES, CYS.EXE IN WINDOWS SERVER 2003 AND COMPMGMTLAUNCHER.EXE IN WINDOWS SERVER 2008. LET US TALK ABOUT ROUTING AND REMOTE ACCESS. IN PREVIOUS OPERATING WE HAD ONLY RRAS IN WINDOWS SERVER 2003, NOW IT HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH NETWORK POLICY AND ACCESS SERVICES WHERE WE CAN CONFIGURE SERVERS LIKE NAT (NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATION), VPN (VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK), RADIUS (REMOTE ACCESS DIAL IN USER SERVICE), DHCP RELAY AGENT (DYNAMIC HOST CONFIGURATION PROTOCOL, AND SO ON. ALL OF YOU MUST HAVE OBSERVED A TYPICAL CHANGE BETWEEN WINDOWS SERVER 2003 AND WINDOWS SERVER 2008, I AM TALKING ABOUT TCP/IP. IN WINDOWS SERVER 2003, IT USED TO TAKE A LONG TIME TO BIND IP ADDRESS WITH TCP/IP PROTOCOL, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO WINDOWS SERVER 2008 IT BINDS WITHIN SECONDS, DON'T YOU FIND ITS A DRASTIC CHANGE, DO YOU? AN ANOTHER POINT, I WANNA ADD FOR VPN SERVER IS SSTP (SECURE SOCKET TUNNELING PROTOCOL) WHICH DOES GIVE A TIGHT SECURITY TO VPN SERVERS. IN PREVIOUS VERSION THERE WERE ONLY 2 PROTOCOLS PPTP (POINT TO POINT TUNNELING PROTOCOL) ANDL L2TP/IPSEC (LAYER TWO TUNNELING PROTOCOL FOR INTERNET PROTOCOL SECURITY). IN L2TP WE JUST USED TO ASSIGN PRE-SHARED KEYS TO SERVERS, SO THAT, THE SERVER CAN BE SAVED FROM BEING HACKED, OF COURSE THE SAME OPTION WE HAVE IN WINDOWS SERVER 2008 TOO. (I HAVE SKIPPED AUTOMATIC OPTION, BECAUSE ITS A DEFAULT OPTION). LET US TALK SOMETHING ABOUT COMMAND-LINE INTERFACE, BECAUSE I AM THE DIEHARD FAN OF COMMAND PROMPT. MICROSOFT WINDOWS HAS CREATED A FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT WHERE EVEN A SMALL KID CAN EXPLORE THE ENTIRE WINDOWS WITHOUT ANY ILLUSIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A SYSTEM IS INFECTED WITH VIRUS, YOU CANNOT VIEW FILES EITHER IT MAYBE A SYSTEM FILE OR YOUR OWN CREATED FILE (SOMETIMES NOT ALWAYS), IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES COMMAND PROMPT ARRIVES IN THE SCENE TO RESCUE US. IN WINDOWS SERVER 2008, CORE-EDITION, WE CAN GET RID OF VIRUS BECAUSE WE FIND EXPLORER.EXE NOWHERE IN THE ENTIRE SYSTEM. IT IS PURELY COMMAND LINE INTERFACE WHERE YOU HAVE TO CONFIGURE A PRINT SERVER BY USING COMMAND PROMPT, MOST OF THE ADMINISTRATORS AGHAST OF WINDOWS SERVER 2008 CORE-EDITIONS, BECAUSE EACH COMMAND HAS TO BE TYPED METICULOUSLY, GIVING EITHER AN EXTRA OR LESS SPACE, DOES NOT GIVE A DESIRED OUTCOME. IN WINDOWS SERVER 2008, WE CAN USE NLA (NETWORK LEVEL AUTHENTICATION) FOR TERMINAL SERVERS, MUCH SECURED WAY, THIS OPTION WAS NOT AVAILABLE IN WINDOWS SERVER 2003 AND MOST OF THE COMPANIES PREFER THEIR TERMINAL SERVERS TO USE NETWORK LEVEL AUTHENTICATION FOR THEIR NETWORKS. I HAVE JUST SCRATCHED THE SURFACE, THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS TO KNOW, AS YOU UPGRADE WITH HOTFIXES YOU WILL COME TO KNOW THAT, WHAT IS ALL ABOUT SERVERS. THANK YOU SIR...SIMPLY SUPERB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
