2 Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Administration
When Microsoft started development of Windows Server 2008, the company
took the time to collect user feedback and incorporate this information into
the product??™s features. It is the first operating system built by Microsoft under
its new strict security development guidelines. The security ???theme??? permeates every
aspect of this operating system and can??™t be missed. Although future system updates are
inevitable with any OS release, this new architecture allows you to minimize the attack
surface immediately, thereby mitigating the risks. Microsoft has also vastly improved the
user experience by simplifying the installation process and providing a new integrated
Server Manager tool for more effective server management. Before you can take advantage
of any of these features though, your first step is to install Windows Server 2008. Let??™s cut
to the chase and see what it takes to get Windows Server 2008 installed.
