#7 Direct Access: Okay, DirectAccess, probably gets my award for вЂњmost innovative technologyвЂќ in Windows 7 client and Windows 2008 R2 server and would have been closer to #1 in my countdown if it werenвЂ™t so complicated to implement.

So just sit at one console and reach into other servers in your network to do day to day administrative tasks! Now with Windows 2008 R2 servers you can remotely access Server Manager on other systems. With Windows 2008 you had this really great tool вЂњServer ManagerвЂќ that allowed you to Add Roles, Features, Administer the servers, etc from a single console, however it was ONLY for the system you were on, so you had to constantly Remote Desktop into other servers. #8 Remote Server Manager: Alright, #8 on my Top 10 countdown is the ability to remotely manage other Windows 2008 R2 servers using the Server Manager tool.

With Fine Grain Passwords added to AD/2008 (and carried over to AD/2008 R2) you can now set password policies вЂњper groupвЂќ so you can have folks in HR or Accounting change their passwords every 20-days to please the regulators, and field support and sales people can change their passwords say ever 60-days or something. In AD/2003 you could only have 1 password policy per domain (upper case, complex password, change every 30-days, etc had to be the SAME for everyone in the domain). Okay, another geek moment, but this is great when weвЂ™re prestaging systems to roll out in another site or domain and we donвЂ™t even need to be physically at or physically connected to that domainвЂ¦ Oh, and something that IвЂ™m still excited about thatвЂ™s in AD/2008 is Fine Grain Password Policies.

Also in AD/2008 R2 is Offline Domain Join which allows you to pre-stage create a computer account in AD, dump an XML file and then when you install Windows 7 on the computer you can run a DJoin command on the Windows 7 and вЂњjoinвЂќ the domain on that Win7 computer without the Win7 computer even being attached to the network! That way you can build systems in the lab and вЂњjoin themвЂќ to AD without actually / physically connecting the computers to AD. However, for those who want enhancements in AD, the biggies in 2008 R2 are the Recycle Bin (effectively allows you to simply recover deleted objects in AD, so if you fat finger delete a user object, accidentally overwrite an AD group, simply go to the recycle bin and undelete stuffвЂ¦). We have a LOT of customers who are happily running AD/2003 in Native Mode with all of the latest and greatest products running. Gotta start off by saying that no one really вЂњhasвЂќ to migrate to AD/2008 or AD/2008 R2 for any of the current products, so things like Exchange 2010, SharePoint 2010, etc do NOT require AD/2008 (or 2008 R2). #9 Active Directory 2008 R2: Number 9 on my list are updates to Active Directory. My favorite migration tool is the DHCP migration tool that migrates not only scopes, but also LEASES from old Windows DHCP servers to Windows 2008 R2 servers! (do you realize what that means? You can migrate a DHCP server in the middle of a day, carry over DHCP leases without having to expire out leases from the old server to get DHCP activated on a new server! (sorry, we were really excited when this tool came out, and to this day, I still get excited about sharing this!!!)) There are tools that help you migrate fileservers (including files and ACLs), tools that help you migrate RRAS servers to 2008 R2, print server migration tools shifting your printers and print queues to 2008 R2. Because of that, Microsoft made some GREAT tools (and for any org than plans to migrate from physical Windows 2003 hardware to virtualized Windows 2008 R2 guest images, this is the PERFECT way to go from physical to virtual!!!) Go to for a link to the various migration tools.

Okay, so who gets excited about migration tools? Considering Windows 2008 R2 comes as a 64-bit only operating system and thereвЂ™s no inplace upgrade path from 32-bit to 64-bit, the release of Windows 2008 R2 requires tools to help organizations вЂњmigrateвЂќ server to server than just shove in a CD and do an inplace upgrade. #10 Migration Tools: Starting off my Top 10 countdown are the migration tools available for Windows 2008 R2.

This posting is dedicated to those early adopters who slugged it out with us in working with the latest and greatest operating system from Microsoft.ДЇrom the 2-years of early adopter experience, here are the Top 10 best features and technologies in Windows Server 2008 R2: I had the opportunity to work with Windows Server 2008 R2 for over 2 years before its release at the end of 2009 implementing the product in a couple dozen very large early adopter enterprises, and now since its release, dozens / hundreds of production sites.
