Exploring Windows Server 2008 Part I

In this introduction to Windows Server 2008 we look at the concept of Server Core, a subset of Windows Server 2008. Server Core has four specific roles for standard, enterprise, and data center environments. Server Core is designed to help reduce server vulnerability to attack and cut the costs of upgrading and maintaining servers.

We will also take a look at the new Windows Server 2008 operating system. Right now this product is in the beta phase, with many of the final features and components present and functional.

We will be exploring some of the new core operating system features and see how they enhance productivity and performance.

In addition, we will also be discussing a new feature called Network Access Protection (NAP).
