Description

Windows Server 2008 introduced the compartmentalization of server functions into server roles and role services and presented Server Manager as a convenient, central location for installation and administration of those roles. In the R2 release, there are improvements to many server role services as well as some new additions. This course focuses on the advancements made to the increasingly popular Hyper-V server role, which now closely integrates with a number of other roles services. It also presents the recent changes to the Terminal Services role, which is now referred to as Remote Desktop Services and introduces the new remote connectivity technologies including virtualized corporate desktops using Virtual Desktop Infrastructures (VDI), DirectAccess, VPN Reconnect (or Agile VPN), and BranchCache. The course also provides an overview of the File Classification Infrastructure provided in Windows Server 2008 R2 and highlights the improved Web Application Platform, which includes an update to IIS 7.5.
