Windows Server 2008 is coming out very soon.  What are the key things you need to know about this new server operating system from Microsoft?  In this session we’ll discuss and demo the top 10 features you need to know about in order to get ready.  We’ll cover new technologies such as Server Management, Server Core, Powershell, Hyper-V, Terminal Services and new Security Features.

Thankyou David!!!

I will be taking over the reins of HDNUG from David as he moves on to greener pastures, I’m sure I speak for everyone when I thank David for his efforts with HDNUG and wish him all the best for his future endeavours, he has certainly kept us all well informed with a great variety of speakers and topics during his time at the helm.

If anyone has any suggestions for future topics or would like to present at any of the coming evenings then please contact me.
