Hey All!

I know that many of us are looking forward to getting certified and becoming an MCITP Server Administrator. One of the benefits of being certified is that we can stay up to date with what is new in Windows Server 2008. As we continue with the blog, I will try to keep giving you the new enhanced features of Server 2008 and I would like you to also add to it if you can and make it more interesting!!!

Personally, I’m a big fan of Active Directory, so I was very inquisitive about how it is better this time around. With that said, here’s a quick breakdown as how it’s been enhanced:

Active Directory provides the means to manage the identities and relationships that make up your organization’s network. Integrated with Windows Server 2008, the next generation of Active Directory gives you out-of-the-box functionality needed to centrally configure and administer system, user, and application settings. With Active Directory, you can simplify user and computer management, enable single sign-on (SSO) access to your network resources, and help enhance the privacy and security of stored information and communications.

When I check back in next, I’ll try and have the some of the specific new and improved features. Stay tuned!
