IIS at TechEd–introducing and demonstrating the new features
In the next few weeks, I’ll be posting several additional posts about the new features in IIS 8.5, and we will be posting documentation on our main site http://www.iis.net, as well as on TechNet. We have also presented about the new features as part of TechEd, both in North America and Europe. If you are anxious to learn about the new features and see them in action, both presentations are available to view and download. The content is very similar in both, other than the personal style and preferences of the presenter, of course. Here are the links:

Build, save and print your own custom book of TechNet Library articles
Everyone knows there is a lot of great information in the TechNet Library, but what if there was a way to save and organize a custom set of articles with only the information you really want? Or maybe you do a lot of work offsite where you may not have direct access to TechNet and need to take those articles with you on your phone, tablet or laptop for reading offline? Well now you can do all of that. With the Print Multiple Topics beta for TechNet you can build your own custom book of TechNet Library articles, group them in a collection that persists across web sessions, and then print them or export them to a file for later viewing. You’ll need a current browser and a Microsoft ID so assuming you have those already here’s how to get started. -

Windows 8, Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012 support in previous System Center products
We get a lot of questions regarding support for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 in the previous versions of our System Center products, and while this information is published in the TechNet Library it’s fairly spread out and at times difficult to find. With that in mind, I’ve compiled a short description of the support for Windows 8, Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012 with these older System Center products. Obviously there are a lot of details I did not include so you’ll want to check your specific scenario for details but the links here should help in that regard as well. -
