    About this ebook

    This version of the Server Bible will be the largest yet, cateringto what is certainly the most advanced operating system introducedby Microsoft. The book will cater to the needs of the serveradministration community and will be designed to be a criticalreference. The book will extensively cover the most notable newfeature of Windows Server known as the "Server Core." Server Coreis a significantly scaled-back installation where no graphicalshell (explorer.exe) is installed, and all configuration andmaintenance is done entirely through the command-line windows, orby connecting to the machine remotely using Microsoft ManagementConsole. Server Core will also not include the .NET Framework,Internet Explorer or many other features not related to core serverfeatures. A Server Core machine can be configured for four basicroles: Domain controller, DNS Server, DHCP Server, and file server.Chapters on setup and installation will also cover the newcomponentized operating system Image-based setup and deploymenttools, using WIM.

    In addition to the already extensive Active Directory supportthis book will now fully cover the "Read-Only Domain Controller"operation mode in Active Directory, intended for use in branchoffice scenarios where a domain controller may reside in a lowphysical security environment, was introduced in Windows Server2003 R2 and will be extended in the 2008 version. Chapters coveringpolicy-based networking, branch management and enhanced end usercollaboration will be extended. Windows Server 2008 will also shipInternet Information Services 7 and the current chapters on IISwill thus be extended. Coverage of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0will also be introduced into this part of the book. We will alsoinclude coverage of the improved hot patching technology, which isa feature that allows non-kernel patches to occur without the needfor a reboot.

    A significantly upgraded Terminal Services component, supportingRDP 6.0. will be covered in the chapter on terminal services. Themost notable improvement is the ability to share a singleapplication over a Remote Desktop connection, instead of the entiredesktop. This will be added to an already extended chapter on thisremote access technology. In addition to these new features thebook will also carry over existing features brought over from(SP1/R2) of Server 2003. These include covering of new securityfeatures of the operating system, Group Policy management, changecontrol and service level, and administration practices.
