Repost from AdminPrep.com…I will be moving several of the articles over to this blog. Before all this starts, credit must go where credit is due. I did not come up with all of the info within this article. A lot of people have felt my pain...
Last week I spent some time at my former employer taking a Server 2008 upgrade course . Shame on you if you haven't checked them out for training because their Hard Hat courses are hands down the best out there. I spent a lot of time in that course...
I know i'm late on this but I've got to blog about it. Fellow Directory Services MVP Guy Teverovsky has created the coolest tool yet for Server 2008 Server Core. It is the Server Core CoreConfigurator . After you copy the four files to your Server...
Fellow Directory Services MVP Mark Minasi has a great table that shows a ton DNS commands using dnscmd. For those of you getting ready to use Server Core here is yet another list of commands that will come in handy. All I can say is WOW!!! Function DNSCMD...

Jose Barreto just informed me that he has an excellent list of what has changed between Server 2008 Beta 3 and Server 2008 June CTP. The link shows what changed with Enterprise Edition and Server Core. What I really enjoy about this list is that: It is...
Bob Muglia mentioned in the keynote at TechEd 2007 (really wish I could be there) that IIS7 was in fact going to be included in Server Core . I know that a lot of hosting providers have been screaming for this and rightfully so. While this sounds like...
After the initial install of Server Core the "Wow" factor ends fairly soon. The main reason for this is because the server is really not doing much. Like any server if you want to start using a feature of it you have to install it…Server Core is no different...
Just because you're running Server Core doesn't mean you can get around Activation. No more going to the Start Menu -> Programs option. In Server Core you can Activate the server in two ways, one locally and the other remotely. Both ways use the Software...

It may seem like an easy task but have you thought about how you're going to reset your password on a server running Longhorn's Server Core? Right after you install Server Core you are prompted to log on. It is a bit confusing since the user that shows...
