First Look: Windows Server 2008

---

Successfully deploy an Exchange 2007 installation optimal for your needs.

From Beta to Believer?
Not since Windows NT has there been this much buzz about a Microsoft Server product. The differences between Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2003 are monumental. The myriad of subtle and fundamental differences in the basic architecture could dramatically change not only the way it's used in the enterprise, but also the logical and physical structure of networks where it is the dominant OS.

Should I Migrate?
That being said, should your company migrate? Microsoft says the abilities to consolidate servers, manage hardware more effectively, remotely manage hardware, and vastly improve security are all good reasons for Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 users to migrate. But how will all the new bells and whistles affect your company? How will it affect your hardware? WS2K8 has the ability to drop the GUI and be driven by command line, which enhances security. This is great for Unix/Linux admins, but is it right for your company?
