Configuration Snap-In
The Configuration snap-in allows you to access the Local Users and Groups system tool.
Three additional tools are available, namely the Task Scheduler, Windows Firewall with
Advanced Security, and WMI Control. (I was happy to see that Microsoft finally moved
the Task Scheduler into a more logical location rather than having you navigate to the
Windows folder using Explorer to access it. It is also significantly improved in functionality.)
The new Windows Firewall with Advanced Security snap-in provides an easy-touse
graphical interface for managing your inbound and outbound firewall rules as well
as monitoring the overall firewall usage. Finally, WMI Control can be used to manage
your Windows Management Interface (WMI) service.

Task Scheduler
Not only has Task Scheduler been added to Server Manager, but it has undergone a serious
facelift and is much richer in functionality than previous iterations of this product.
The first thing you see when you click the Task Scheduler is a Task Scheduler summary,
as shown in Figure 3-11.
