Best of all, it's free.. so go grab it now.
Was reading Microsoft Download RSS feed this morning, found two interesting downloads -
1) Security At Microsoft - in this paper, Microsoft shares its internal security practices, quite amazing and we knew most of it, but in real life, have you ever do it that way ? I guess it's time to re-evaluate what you have in your company and try not to be too far behind :)
2) Port Requirements for Microsoft Windows Server System - a good excel sheet giving you all the port information you need about Microsoft Windows Server. One stop center for all different servers system, nice and neat. I wonder when they will put it as a KB article.
Microsoft just updated the product information page, very nice and neat. It gives you overview features, system requirements, SRP $$ and a link to the product website. Try it, Microsoft Product Info ! nice ?
Ya, while we on this, if you hate calling support via phone, try the product support center first, I'd spent consider amount of time at this site, looking for support info, how-to as well as tips and tricks articles. here's the link.
Enjoy!
Microsoft has put lot of effort in Windows 2003 and one of the major key features is the new architecture of IIS 6.0, there's been tremendous improvements of its Web Server. Saw a post in public newsgroups that November 13th is IIS Day -
