Microsoft.com Now Running Windows Server 2008 R2 Beta
Do you remember the tale of the Windows Server 2008 “Lone Server”? Maybe it was read to you as a bedtime story as a change from “Mommy, Why Is There a Server in the House?” There he was, this poor Windows Server 2003 server, all alone in a server farm of Windows Server 2008 machines.

SBS myths dispelled...by "Tom"
In the course of talking to many Microsoft partners and customers, the Windows Small Business Server team has learned that there are sometimes misperceptions about the product, in many cases based on experiences with the earlier versions of SBS.

Windows PowerShell and Windows Server “Longhorn”
Last Tuesday in front of over 4000 attendees, Jeffrey Snover and Bob Muglia announced the release of Windows PowerShell 1.0 RTW at IT Forum. Windows PowerShell is the new command-line shell and scripting language for Windows system administration. You may have heard that Exchange Server 2007 leverages Windows PowerShell so that every task can be automated via scripts or managed from the cmd line shell. Other server roles such as IIS, Terminal Server, Active Directory, Operations Manager 2007, Virtual Machine Manager and Data Protection Manager "V2" can also be managed via PowerShell.
