When: 03/10/2007 - All day event

Where: London

What:

In this session, we move away from tradition, and bring you a new style of TechNet event; one driven by powerful product demos and bleeding edge technology.

We will start by explaining the environment we will be working in, then jump straight into a Server deployment, using Windows Deployment Services. Once deployed, this new server will form part of a server cluster, with workloads subsequently created to run on this cluster.

These workloads will be created using a fantastic new technology, namely, Windows Server Virtualisation, with which we’ll create a number of Virtual Machines; Domain Controller, DNS & DHCP VM’s and we’ll also create a Windows Server 2008 ‘Server Core’ installation, before your very eyes. Once complete, we’ll explore clustering further, specifically, the failing over of workloads between nodes.

We’ll close with a section dedicated to managing this infrastructure, using tools such as System Center Operations Manager (SCOM, formerly Microsoft Operations Manager, MOM), System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) and the fantastic new command line shell and scripting language; PowerShell.
