What's New in Server Manager

The Windows Server® 2008 R2 operating system eases the task of managing and securing multiple server roles in an enterprise with enhancements to Správce serveru.

The following functionality additions have been made to Správce serveru in Windows Server 2008 R2:

• Remote Management with Server Manager. In Windows Server 2008 R2, you can use Správce serveru to perform some management tasks on remote computers that are running Windows Server 2008 R2. To manage a computer remotely by using Správce serveru, you connect Správce serveru to a remote computer in the same manner you would connect the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) for other technologies.
  
  You can also create a custom MMC that contains multiple Správce serveru snap-ins, each targeted to manage a different remote computer. For detailed information about how to manage computers remotely by using Správce serveru, see Remote Management with Server Manager Help (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=137378).
  
  
• Best Practices Analyzer. Analyzátor osvědčených postupů (BPA) is a server management tool that is available for a limited set of roles that run on Windows Server 2008 R2. Analyzátor osvědčených postupů can help administrators reduce best practice violations by scanning one or more roles that are installed on Windows Server 2008 R2, and reporting best practice violations to the administrator. Administrators can filter or exclude results from BPA reports that they do not need to see. Administrators can also perform BPA tasks by using either the Správce serveru GUI, or Windows PowerShell™ cmdlets. Analyzátor osvědčených postupů is one of the areas of the Summary section of a role's home page.
  
  
• Windows PowerShell cmdlets for Server Manager tasks. The following three Windows PowerShell cmdlets allow you to install, remove, or view information about available roles by using Windows PowerShell. For more information about how to use any of these cmdlets, in a Windows PowerShell session, enter Get-Helpcmdlet_name–full, in which cmdlet_name represents one of the following values.

Správce serveru, first available in the Windows Server 2008 operating system, provides a single source for managing a server's identity and system information, displaying server status, identifying problems with server role configuration or the alignment of some roles to best practices, and managing all roles installed on the server. With the release of Windows Server 2008 R2, Správce serveru can be used to manage remote computers, either from another computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2, or a computer that is running Windows 7.

Správce serveru provides the greatest benefit to any of the following IT professionals:

• An IT administrator, planner, or analyst who is evaluating Windows Server 2008 R2.
  
  
• An enterprise IT planner or designer.
  
  
• An early adopter of Windows Server 2008 R2.
  
  
• An IT architect who is responsible for computer management and security throughout an organization.
  
  
• An IT administrator whose duties include server configuration, deployment, security hardening, or best practice compliance.
  
  

Whether you are running Správce serveru on a local computer, or you are running a Správce serveru console that is targeted at a remote computer, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the computer that you are managing.

The following are other considerations and requirements for using the new Správce serveru functionality.

No code or script changes are required to use new Správce serveru functionality.

New Správce serveru functionality is available in all editions of Windows Server 2008 R2.

Although the Správce serveru console cannot run on the Server Core installation option of Windows Server 2008 R2, you can use Windows PowerShell cmdlets on the Server Core installation option, after you install Windows PowerShell on the Server Core installation option. You can manage remote computers that are running the Server Core installation option of Windows Server 2008 R2 with the Správce serveru console that is available on the full installation option, if you are a member of the Administrators group on the computer that is running the Server Core installation option.
