What You Need in Windows Server 2008 Manageability PowerShell, Task Manager, Server Manager IIS 7, Tracing and Diagnostics Security IIS 7 Minimal Install, URLScan, SCW 2.0 Performance TCP/IP Optimization, SMB 2.0 What’s Key in SQL 2008? Database compression Database encryption
4
Will SharePoint 2007 work with Windows Server 2008? Absolutely! Requires Slipstream WSS 3.0 with SP1 and MOSS 2007 with SP1 Note: New STSADM command - Mergecontentdbs Last 32 bit version of SharePoint
5
Requires IIS 6 Backward compatible components for IIS 6 Metabase compatibility (ADSI and WMI) Windows SharePoint 3.0 with SP1 includes dependencies will configure IIS 7 Role config WSS or MOSS will fail install if not with SP1
6
Server Manager Reliability Manager PowerShell Server Management (700+new settings) Event Viewer & Task Scheduler Create configuration as templates for reuse
7
Replaces Computer Management Uses role/feature model Add roles Add features Roles have a dependency database Multiple roles/features can be installed and configured in one operation Can be managed from Command Line
8
WinRM (Remote Management) Management “despite” firewalls Implementation of WS-Management protocol Based on HTTP/HTTPS connectivity XML is the data structure WinRS (Remote Shell) Executes command line commands and executed locally WINRS
9
Event Viewer Console Complete rewrite for Windows Vista & Windows Server 2008 Improved organization, integration, filtering, and searching Event Logs Viewable and exportable to XML Channels for administrative events, global view across logs
10
Events Notifications and user-defined actions on events Richer online event information Event Forwarding Consolidate events remotely over WS-Management XPath subscriptions
11
Trigger on events Password resilience Execution History Task Import and Export Failure Notification
12
.NET-based interactive shell and scripting language Interactive, programmable, secure, and task-oriented Efficient control and automation of admin tasks Manage both desktops and servers in mixed environments Core Windows administration technology In the box for Windows Server 2008 Available as a download for Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista Extensible for developers to easily build their own tools Enables strong command line and GUI integration Broad adoption Exchange Server 2007, Microsoft System Center Operations Manager, Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager SharePoint 14 will likely leverage PowerShell extensively
14
Built in Firewall SCW 2.0 URLScan Minimal Application footprint Minimal Services (Imagine core with HyperV)
15
Optimized performance without loss Intelligent, automated tuning of TCP receive window size Better packet loss resiliency (e.g. wireless connectivity) Advanced congestion control for better throughput Automatically adjusts for maximum efficiency Faster network transfers, especially across WAN links Optimized use of available network bandwidth Reduced packet loss resulting in fewer retransmits
16
Receive Side Scaling Leverage multiple processors for greater parallelism in network receives Good for heavy receive processing with large numbers of connections i.e. web, FTP Transport Offload Engine Support for dedicated network adapter hardware Offloads TCP processing and/or acceleration Unburden the system CPU from intense TCP/IP processing Good for heavy TCP/IP receive processing with small/ medium numbers of active connections e.g. File Backup
17
SMB2.0 (Remote File sharing protocol) introduced in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 Helps to reduce network traffic Greatly increases the number of shared files supported Improved Performance (can result in many orders of magnitude improvement in throughput) SMB 1.0 Write Request Write Response SMB 2.0
18
Branch Hub Windows Server 2008
19
The file transfer improvements in SMB2 improve large-file Office and Windows shell interactions
20
Requests/sec (bigger is better) Microsoft.com Microsoft.com website 10% higher throughput (normalized to CPU usage) Production server performance monitored over 72 hours WS08/IIS7 enables MS.COM to process over 100 million additional web requests per day at current CPU usage level (extrapolation based on existing hardware)
21
On Windows Server 2003 Upgrade to SP1 or later first Upgrade any Database engine storage to Windows Internal Database Engine SP2 Backup your Farm (to separate server) Proceed with OS upgrade Verify Upgrade Upgrade Complete - Windows Server 2008
22
IIS 7 takes a bit of ramp up, but pays off FAST! Install seemed a lot easier and seamless with slipstream Using existing hardware it was faster than WS03, (we did NOT expect this!) Didn’t really notice most of the time it wasn’t WS03 (very quick ramp up)

Updated Eval Guides and WS08 Better together with SharePoint detailed analysis Downloadable HOLs Windows Server 2008 and MOSS install Powershell and SharePoint SharePoint and WS08 Customizing Event Viewer IIS 7 failed request tracing (Hot!)
26
Management Database Mirroring Enhancements Policy Based Administration Cluster enhancements Resource Governor Easier to deploy Security Transparent Database Encryption
27
Backup compression (25-35% at least) Reporting Services in SharePoint Mode Data compression SharePoint 2007 SP1 supports SQL 2008
28
SQL 2008
