Introduction
A quick overview of the topic we'll cover in this series.
00:01:27
 
The New Server Manager
It's Modern-ified (or Metro-ified) and PowerShell-dependent, multi-server-enabled and command-line-cool - it's the new Server Manager in Windows Server 2012. Learn what it can do, where common tasks have been moved to, and more.
00:19:01
 
PowerShell v3 and Web Access
The latest version of PowerShell brings significant enhancements, bolstered by Win2012's massive new cmdlet, function, and workflow library. That's all made more accessible through the new PowerShell Web Access gateway feature - a must-have for any environment!
00:16:37
 
Windows Remote Management
Bundled tightly with PowerShell is Windows' new remote management system, including the WinRM service and WS-MAN protocol. Learn how it works, how it's secured, and how to enable and use it on your servers (and even on your clients).
00:19:15
 
Dynamic Access Control
An exciting new option for share permissions, Dynamic Access Control promises to offer the accuracy of role-based access control (RBAC), with lower ongoing maintenance. It's a complex system, but this overview will help you decide when and where to use it in your environment.
00:20:20
 
Role Improvements
A number of role-specific feature improvements make Win2012 more valuable to a broader range of companies. In this Nugget, you'll cover Server Core, Minimal Server GUI, DirectAccess, Remote Desktop Services, and major Hyper-V enhancements.
00:28:43
 
Management Improvements
These new features help make the life of an IT pro simpler and more efficient, with improvements to Managed Service Accounts, Active Directory Domain Services, and more.
00:16:22
 
SMB 3.0
Server Message Blocks - the protocol that moves files from place to place on a Windows network - has been massively overhauled, and you won't believe how awesome it is. Learn about its new capabilities for things like load balancing, failover, and more.
00:19:53
 
IIS 8.0
It's the underlying tech powering Outlook Web Access, SharePoint, and half the other server products you use. IIS 8.0 brings some under-the-radar but crucial improvements, and you'll learn all about them here.
