Securing Branch Office User AccountsIn this demo you will see several ways that user accounts in a branch office can be secured. Branch offices traditional are a place of high risk for domain controllers. Placing domain controllers in branch offices good for functionality and productivity, but bad for security. This demo shows how you can place a domain controller in a branch office, and take measures to make those branch office accounts more secure.

Allowing External Users to Manage IIS7 Web ApplicationsWeb servers are one of the services that most often are in need of remote administration by an external consultant. Many companies outsource web development activities and as a result, need to grant external users access to both manage content and configuration on their web servers. IIS 7 includes a new management service which addresses this need and TS RemoteApp provides a secure way to make management tools available outside the firewall. This demo shows how you can configure the management service, work with feature delegation, and connect to IIS Manager from outside the firewall using TS RemoteApp.
Enabling a Remote WorkforceThis demo illustrates how the collection of tools and technologies in the Windows Presentation Virtualization scenario enable companies to deploy and manage remote workforces. The demo contains demonstrations of TS Gateway for internal desktop and application access, TS Web Access as an internal application portal functioning on top of TS Gateway, and TS RemoteApp. The goal is to show how seemless the experience is for the remote user who wants to run applications and tools using Presentation virtualization.
Server Core Remote ManagementThis demonstration highlights the benefits of Server Core, with its low overhead, and highlights how it is easy to manage Server Core with the new management tools and technologies included in Windows Server 2008.

Windows Server 2008 Deployment OverviewWindows Server 2008 deployment will leverage many of the core concepts and tools provided in Business Desktop Deployment 2007 and extend those to Windows Server 2008. The new accelerator will offer comprehensive role-based guidance for all phases of deployment, aligned to IT Service Management best practices. It will also take advantage of new deployment features in System Center Configuration Manager 2007. This session introduces you to the differences between Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2000 deployment, and what is in store from the Solution Accelerators Team for automating Windows Server 2008 deployment.
Managing Windows Server 2008 with Server ManagerWindows Server 2008 makes significant improvements in server manageability with a one-stop administrative solution called Server Manager. This streamlined management tool allows IT administrators to complete setup of Windows Server using the Initial Configuration Tasks page, and configure and manage server roles and features with prescriptive wizards and a unified management console. Server Manager is built on the Service Modeling Language (SML) platform, used to model complex IT services and systems in software, including structure, constraints, configuration, and best practices. This session presents and demonstrates the configuration and management capabilities of Server Manager, and discusses how Server Manager as an administrative solution leverages the model-based management infrastructure provided by the SML platform.
