Windows Server 2012 Management related features(Part 1)..First of all we would like to inform you that on 23 rdAug 2012 Microsoft announced their new logo. It's been2 years since Microsoft u!dated the Microsoft logo. "he brand#new logo to go with all the brand#s!ankinnew !roducts it's got coming this fall. "he new design uses the long#standing $indows logo as its starting!oint% but gone are the wa&y edges of that older look. "he gra!hic element of the new logo is one suared#away image( the colors remain the same% and in the same order% but now they're enclosed in a suare bo).*uilateral sides% +0#degree angles% ta#da, "his is an incredibly e)citing year for Microsoft as they !re!are to

release new &ersions of nearly all of our !roducts.

In our !re&ious article we outlined the ma-or features of $indows 2012 er&erand now time has come to take a dee! di&e of few key features of $indows 2012er&er. "he release of $indows er&er 2012is -ust around the corner% with theinitial code due to be sent to manufacturing this month and general a&ailabilitycoming in e!tember. If you'&e been on the sidelines during the beta and therelease !re&iew stages% you may now be wondering what features andca!abilities ha&e made it to the final &ersion.

$e ha&e !ublished new feature of $indows / in cou!le of article owe&er% $indows er&er 2012 is the reane)t big thing that will come out of Microsofts software factory and Its not !ossible to co&er all the ma-orfeatures and changes in one article% hence , we will summarize all of the new features of Windows Serve2012 In this five!art series

1 'ew ser Interfa%e (formerl Metro)

"he new user interface 8formerly Metro9 is certainly the most contro&ersial feature in $indows /.$hereas many agree that the rise of tablets -ustifies a new :I for $indows clients% many admins wonderwhy a tablet :I is introduced with $indows er&er 2012. Microsofts main reason is consistency. Most adminsmanage clients and ser&ers and !refer to learn -ust one :I. Moreo&er% the Metro tart creen could becomea !o!ular ser&er dashboard that dis!lays status information about administration tools from multi!lesoftware &endors. In the end% ser&ers are multi!ur!ose !ersonal com!uters doing myriad things in thebackground that need to be constantly communicated to users. er&ers and mobile !hones are not thatmuch different. ;e&ertheless% I think it is still !ossible that Microsoft allows admins to disable Metro in$indows er&er 2012.
