5/47

Todays IT Challenges

Increasing demands from the businessReliance on technology for business-criticaloperations

Always-available, anywhere

Increasing complexity

Adding capabilities adds management burden

80% of IT cost is managing existing systems

Trends of the future magnify challengesMove to Datacenters large scale, virtualizationremote management

Outsourcing lower skilled, high turnover users


6/47

Windows Server 2008 R2Streamlined Management Scenarios

PowerShell: Universal Code Execution Model, GUI over PowerShell, Production Scripting

WMI: Discoverability through PS, Profile discovery, CIM update

WS-Man: Remote Shell, Support for hosted environments (Web proxy traversal, Federated Auth usingLive ID), Hardware Management (out-of-band management in-band with OS), Resource management

BITS: Lightweight server

PS cmdlets across all!

DatacenterAutomation

Known fact: most customers do not perform in-place upgrade

Migration is a complex problem both from technical and process perspective

WS7 pragmatic approach focus on understanding the problem and building foundation

Goal: consistent documentation across all roles, Stretch: scriptable solution for core roles

Lays foundation for more complete and richer solution in the future

ServerMigration

Server Manager creates consistency and enables integration

Goal: Further improve Server Manager, adding incremental value

Key features: PS cmdlets to add/remove roles/features, remoting, Best Practice Analyzers

Incubating next-gen UX Active Directory User Management

Rich ServerManagement

Server Manager & PowerShell Integration

Server Manager PowerShell Cmdlets:

Get-WindowsFeature

Add-WindowsFeature

Remove-WindowsFeature

Leverages PowerShell features/reachRicher command line experience (auto-completion,wildcards, object pipeline, etc)

Remoting

Availability on Server Core


8/47

PowerShell


9/47

As interactive and composable as BASH/KSH

As programmatic as Perl/Python/Ruby

As production oriented as AS400 CL/VMS DCL

Allows access to data stores as easy to access as filesystem

Windows PowerShellNew command-line shell and scripting language
