Windows Server 2008 offers server core as a minimum installation option providing a reduced, more secure OS footprint. Administrators utilize the command line to install select roles and features on a server-core-based server. For additional information about command line, see the Microsoft website: http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/552ed70a-208d-48c4-8da8- 2e27b530eac71033.mspx?mfr=true. Server Core supports the following server role installations: • Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server • Domain Name System (DNS) server • File server • Active Directory Domain Services • Active Direc ...

Windows Server 2008 introduces a new type of domain controller (DC), the read-only domain controller (RODC). This DC hosts read-only partitions of the Active Directory Domain Services (ADDS) database. An RODC provides a secure solution for DC deployments to remote sites that require fast and reliable authentication but do not necessarily have adequate physical security for the deployed servers. Additional information is available on the Microsoft website: http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/servermanager/activedirectorydomainservice s.mspx.

• Because improvements in failover clusters require that the storage respond correctly to specific SCSI commands, the storage must follow the SCSI Primary Commands-3 (SPC-3) standard. In particular, the storage must support Persistent Reservations as specified in the SPC-3 standard. • The miniport driver used for the storage must work with the Microsoft Storport storage driver. • Servers from different clusters must not be able to access the same storage devices (isolate storage devices, one cluster per device). In most cases, a Logical Unit Number (LUN) that ...
