✦ Synopsis

With Microsoft still the leader in Server OS and the next release: Windows Server 2008 R2 predicted to be the biggest upgrade since Server 2003, this book will serve network and systems administrators through upgrading, migration, and implementation. This latest server release is also being timed in conjunction with Microsoft's new desktop OS: Windows 7.

• Features information on how to plan, deploy, and administrate Windows Server 2008 R2 using best practice guidance
• Provides in-depth coverage of Hyper-V, DirectAccess, Remote Desktop Services, Active Directory, and BranchCache
• Includes Delta Changes to allow experienced administrators to quickly gain insight to changes between Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2
