Windows 2008 Server

Windows Server 2008 is the most recent release of Microsoft Windows's server line of operating systems. Released on February 27, 2008, it is the successor to Windows Server 2003, released nearly five years earlier. Like Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 is built on the Windows NT 6.0 kernel. It was known as Windows Server Codename "Longhorn" until May 16, 2007, when Microsoft chairman Bill Gates announced its official title - Windows Server 2008.

Windows 2008 Server New Features

Windows Server 2008 is the most secure server they have every created:

• Active Directory Federation Service - allows administrators to easily set up trust relationships with federation partners.
• Password and account lockout policy improvements - offers the ability to have multiple password and account policies in a single domain.
• Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption - allows you to encrypt all of the hard drives on a server. This will prevent the data from being viewed if a hard drive or the server is stolen.
