Screencast: File Services in Windows Server 2008 Part 2 [Screencast: File Services in Windows Server 2008 Part 2]

In my previous post I showed you some of the differences to file services in Windows Server 2008 as a result of the SMB protocol. In this screencast I'm going to take you through another area where we have made some great enhancements: Distributed File System or DFS. We've made some great improvements in this part of the file services role and helped with replication if SYSVOL data by using DFS-R to replicate that traffic.

So hopefully in this screencast you will get a sense of the differences we have made in this area. As usually I will post this screencast along with some additional resources at my blog. So head over to http://blogs.technet.com/jeffa36 for more details.

Hello there,

One of the biggest improvements in Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista is in the area of file services. Think about it. Everyone uses files shares and copies files. We now have an updated SMB protocol in Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista that significantly improves the file copy process for users.

In this screencast I'm going to take you through some comparisons of using Windows XP with Windows Server 2003 R2 vs using it with Windows Server 2008 and using Windows Vista with Windows Server 2003 R2 vs Windows Server 2008.

Hopefully this gives you and idea that if you just change the client or the server you get significant benefits and if you change both then it gets even better.

I'm going to post this on my blog along with some additional resources so head over to http://blogs.technet.com/jeffa36 for more on the topic.

Hello again,

Jeff Alexander from the land down under again. Hyper-V Server 2008 has been released as a free download so I thought it was a good time to install it have a look and do a quick screencast to show you what it has to offer.

Also check out my post on my blog for details of where to download from.

Cheers

Hello again,

In my previous post on Network Access Protection I showed you how to configure the server and get the switch going for 802.1x authentication. In this Screencast I'm going to look at what happens at the client end so you can see how to configure a Windows Vista client and then look at some of the events that get logged when a client moves in and out of health.

Enjoy!
