Thoughts from the field on Windows Server 2008

I've been doing a lot of work locally with IT Professionals around their evaluations of Windows Server 2008.  Apart from the odd grumble due to it still being at a release candidate stage, all the feedback has been positive.

I'm going to start posting some of my IT Pro's feedback - just so you can share the warm feeling I have for the up and coming release of Windows Server 2008.

Adrian O'Connor from the Irish Citizens Information Board has been evaluating Windows Server 2008 (amongst other things) for the last couple of months.  Although he only has one server running in production at the moment:

"At the moment we only have one actual 2008 RC0 server up and running, we are using it to test SharePoint 2007 and IIS 7. So far though I quite like it, I just find it really easy to use."

he has great plans for the future:

"With Server 2008 I really love the branch office read-only domain controller idea, as like most small – medium companies our DC’s are also used as file & print servers so people have far too much access to them".

I'll post more Thoughts from the field soon.

Dave.
