Customers continue to Microsoft they want regular, compatible,
and consistent server releases with great targeted innovation
Microsoft’s roadmap anticipates 2-4 year cadence of Windows
Server releases
Each major update followed by a minor “R2” update (e.g., Windows
Server 2003, followed by WS 2003 R2; Windows Server 2008, followed
by WS 2008 R2)
R2 strategy enables release refinement and delivery of high value
feature enhancements, while enabling Windows to adapt more quickly
to changing industry landscape (e.g., hardware advances, new
paradigms, etc.)
Optional nature of R2 releases give IT the flexibility to leverage the
latest server technology without feeling forced to upgrade their entire
infrastructure
Of note with R2
64-Bit only
2nd time client and server jointly developed
1. Strong emphasis on hardware, driver and application compatibility
Goal to support Windows Server 2008 compatible applications, plus certified
drivers and hardware
2. Take advantage of anticipated hardware advances
Multicore, >64 processors, power management
3. Respond to important developments in the server landscape
Virtualization, power management, server management
4. Lay the foundation for the next major release of Windows
Componentization, automation, SaaS
5. Seek engineering efficiencies with Windows client
Unified release focus across Client and Server drive up efficiencies

Building on the solid architecture of Hyper-V
Key Improvements
Support for 32 logical processors on host computer
Second Level Translation (SLAT) – Uses new processor
enhancements to improve perf and reduce load on the hypervisor
Hot Add/Remove Storage - Add and remove VHD disks to a
running VM without requiring a reboot
Boot from VHD - Allows any VHD to work on physical hardware
Enable greater server consolidation, dynamic data center, and
Virtualized Desktop (VDI) scenarios
Key Improvements
TS and VDI – An Integrated Solution
Single broker to connect users to sessions or virtual machines,
out of the box solution for VDI scenarios with Hyper-V
Improving the User Experience
Experience rich multimedia, VoIP integration, aero glass remoting, true
multi-monitor support
RemoteApp & Desktop (RAD) connections
Centrally hosted applications integrated into start menu and desktop
Improved Management Toolset
Reduce repetitive task with TS Powershell support, improved application
install, connection broker install & profile management
Platform Investments
Multiple levels of extensibility for custom partner solutions for Terminal
Services & VDI based solutions
Windows Server 2008 R2 improves on management and data center
automation – expanded surface area that can be managed with scripting
Key improvements
Remoteable Server Manager UI – runs R2 or Windows 7 clients
PowerShell 2.0 – new interface, 100’s of new cmdlets
Best Practices Analyzer integrated into Server Manager
Easier migration of roles and core server settings from WS03/WS08
to Windows Server 2008 R2
Cmdline solution or role-specific migration tools to migrate AD,
DHCP, DNS and File and Print roles
Migration portal and step-by-step documentation
for all roles
Improved Command-line shell & Scripting Language
Improves productivity & control
Accelerates automation of system admin
Easy-to-use
Works with existing scripts
PowerShellCommunity.org

Power Management
One-to-many remote management
using WS-MGMT
Improves on Windows Server 2008 Power Processor
Management (PPM) capabilities
Key Improvements
“Core parking” reduces multi-core power consumption
Centralized control of active power policies enable servers to
“throttle-down” during off hours
More granular power controls – example:
New Logo Program with Power Additional Qualifier
“Better Together” leverages joint development
efforts between Client and Server teams
Key Improvements
Direct Access simplifies access to corporate resources
for remote workers
BranchCache improves performance for branch
scenarios
More granular client power management
BitLocker encryption on removable drives
Allows Windows 7 clients to access corporate resources without
the need to establish a VPN connection
Simple user experience: plug in the network cable
Improves productivity for mobile workforce or remote workers

• Application and data access over
WAN is slow in branch offices
• Slow connections hurt user
productivity
• Improving network performance is
expensive and difficult to implement
• Caches http & SMB downloaded by
users in the branch
• Users can quickly open files stored
in the cache
• Frees up network bandwidth for
other uses
ASP.NET on Server Core
New IIS Manager Modules
Integrated PowerShell Provider
Configuration Logging & Tracing
Integrated FTP and WebDAV
Extended Protection & Security
Run the largest workloads and fully utilize multicore
servers with a single WSS08R2 server instance
Get standard workloads to function with fewer locks and greater
parallelism
Support more than 64 processor cores for a single OS instance
Reduced overhead for Hyper-V, and improved storage performance
Componentization - Improvements to Server Core
.NET framework on Server core
Support more roles and broaden current role support (e.g., the addition
of ASP.net within IIS)
PowerShell scripting in Server Core
DHCP Failover
Primary/Secondary DHCP servers synch information
Secondary server provides DHCP information until primary server is
back online
DNS Security (DNSSEC)
Prevents denial of service attacks and illegitimate DNS responses
Validates name resolution and zone transfers comes from a trusted
source
Uses PKI infrastructure to secure DNS resource records
