Windows Server

Window Server 2008 has undergone lot of revisions. This article will shed some light at the features and benefits of Microsoft latest and most advanced operating system.

IIS Improvements

For the very first time IIS 7 is full extensible. You can install whatever you require, so the service is more responsive and less susceptible to attack. The administrative interface for IIS has also been completely re-designed.

Key enhancements incorporate:

1. Versatile extensibility model

Now it is far easier than it ever has been for developers to access  new set of APIs that can communicate with IIS core directly, making module development and customization simpler. Developers can even access scripting, event logging, and administration areas of IIS which offer great advantage to third party software venders to expand IIS capabilities.

2. New componentized structure
   

For the very first time, administrators can exercise full control over exactly what matter of IIS are installed or running at any given time.

3. Uncomplicated configuration and application deployment

With enhanced IIS, it is far easier to accomplish configuration through XML files. Central IIS configuration span across several files which allow multiple sites and applications hosted by same server to have easily managed configurations.

4. Entrusted Management

IIS administrators can delegate control of some functions to other people, like site owners. Much like Active Directory which allow administrators to assign permission to perform certain function to others.

5. Efficient administration

IIS Manager has been developed and is joined by a new command line administration utility, appcmd.exe.

Network Enhancements

Special efforts are being made at enhancing network performance and efficiency. For the first time, there is dual-IP layer architecture for native IPv4 and IPv6 support together. Communication security has also been improved through better IPsec integration throughout multiple pieces of the TCP/IP stack.

Security Improvements

There is lot of changes in the architecture of services in Windows Server 2008, incorporating increased number of layers required to get to the kernel and minimizing the size of the high risk via privileged layers which makes the attack surface smaller.
