Microsoft Server/OS Platform
IIS for Windows Server 2008
Windows Server 2008, with Internet Information Services 7.0 (IIS 7.0), provides a security-enhanced, easy-to-manage platform for developing and reliably hosting Web applications and services. More than just a Web server, IIS 7.0 is a major enhancement to the Windows Web platform and plays a central role in unifying Microsoft Web platform technologies, ASP.NET, Windows Communication Foundation Web services, and Windows SharePoint Services.
The Windows Server 2008 Web and Applications platform helps to enable more efficient deployment and management, greater performance, higher security, and more customizable Web applications and services.
In this 4-day hands-on workshop we will explore the features of Windows Server 2008, and provide methods for capitalizing on these features to provide a tighter more secure system. We will also address the implementation of IIS, Microsoft's web service designed to run on Windows Server, and how to better secure the system.
