Do you want to gain a better understanding of some of the basic concepts of managing Windows Server 2003? Then join us for this four-part series on managing Windows Server 2003 Best Practices. In part, one of the webcast series we will discuss the tasks required for managing Active Directory and the frequency at which they should be performed. Specifically, we will cover backup and restore, database maintenance and recovery. The session will follow Microsoft Operations Framework (MOF) guidelines for planning, deploying, and maintaining IT operational processes in support of mission-critical service solutions.

Managing a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network-Level 200 20041018030001 Microsoft

This webcast offers a look at the out-of-the-box management capabilities of a typical Microsoft Windows 2003 network configuration. Microsoft Windows Server 2003 provides the tools to help manage the network proactively by enforcing policy, automating tasks, and simplifying updates. Join this webcast to understand the effective use of Group Policy for desktop management, Microsoft Systems Management Server for software distribution and patch management, and WMI with Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 for monitoring the environment.

Using WMI Scripting for System Administration 20040806030001 Dell

Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), which offers administrators a rich management scripting tool set, is an integral part of the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems - which includes Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 20

Harnessing PXE Boot Services in Linux Environments 20040806030001 Dell

The Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) is part of the Wired for Management (WfM) specification developed by Intel and Microsoft. The PXE is part of the PC 98 specification; it permits the system's BIOS and network interface card (NIC) to bootstrap a computer from the network. This paper describes the PXE process and explains how to set up a PXE environment on servers that run the Linux operating system.

Windows Preinstallation Environment Technical Overview 20040715030000 Microsoft

Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) provides powerful preparation and installation tools for Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows Server 2003. With Windows PE, you can boot a subset of the Windows operating system from a removable disk, which provides network and other resources necessary to install and troubleshoot Windows on the desktop or server. This paper is a technical overview of Windows PE and its capabilities.

Getting Started With WDM Audio Drivers 20040716030001 Microsoft

This paper provides information about Windows Driver Model (WDM) audio device drivers for the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems. It provides guidelines to hardware vendors for choosing how to supply driver support for their audio devices. The paper primarily focuses on drivers that support PCI audio adapters by communicating with the system-supplied PortCls system driver through well-defined device driver interfaces. In addition, it briefly discusses driver issues for audio devices on external buses, such as the Universal Serial Bus (USB) and IEEE 1394.

Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 Technical Overview 20040713030001 Microsoft

This paper provides an overview of the architecture, features, and benefits of Microsoft Virtual Server 2005, the most cost-effective virtual machine solution for Microsoft Windows Server 2003. Virtual machine technology enables customers to run multiple operating systems concurrently on a single physical server. Virtual Server 2005 addresses a set of key customer scenarios, including consolidating and automating software test and development environments, migrating legacy applications, consolidating multiple server workloads, and testing distributed server applications on a single physical server.

Server Patch Management at Microsoft: Sharing the Microsoft IT Experiences 20040708030052 Microsoft

This white paper focuses on Microsoft IT's early adoption of SMS 2003 to assist with server patch management, including the deployment of security updates, in its production environment. This paper is written for enterprise technical decision makers who want to take advantage of the patch management features that SMS 2003 provides.

Understanding and Evaluating Microsoft Internet Information Services Authentication 20040623200059 Microsoft

This Support WebCast discusses HTTP authentication, Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) authentication methods, and multiple authentication methods based on IIS version 6.0 and Microsoft Windows Server 2003.

Linux on zSeries - What About Storage? 20040623200059 Computer Associates

If you're a z/OS shop - and you are considering mainframe Linux, you need to attend this webcast. Many shops are evaluating and experimenting with Linux on the mainframe. But when your use of Linux on the mainframe moves from experimenting and evaluating to running mission critical applications, you need to carefully consider the infrastructure which keeps these applications running. One of the key issues is managing your storage. In this webcast we'll take you from the your first backup on mainframe Linux - to storing that Linux data on z/OS managed tapes that participate in your automated vaulting processes. Starting, configuring, and managing another Linux image is a matter of minutes under z/VM - rather than the weeks it would take using other hardware.
