Microsoft Tuesday launched Windows Longhorn Server Beta 2 equipped with new features including Server Manager and Scalable Networking Pack.
During his keynote at Windows Hardware Engineering Conference, or WinHEC, Bob Muglia, senior vice president of the server and tools business at Microsoft, said Beta 2 is becoming more mature but the full featured test version -- Beta 3 -- will follow in the first half of 2007.
Server Manager, demonstrated at WinHEC, is a new, centralized toolset within the server that vastly eases setup and configuration, Muglia said. Designed to replace the variety of administrative tools now scattered throughout Windows for those tasks, Server Manager -- with a new role wizard -- makes its debut in Longhorn Beta 2.
