  • I think you are at the wrong forum, this is the Windows SEARCH Server 2008 forum and not the Windows Server 2008 forum. I guess your best option is to make a post there.

  • 1)2008 is combination of vista and windows 2003r2. Some new services are introduced in it
    1. RODC one new domain controller introduced in it

       [Read-only Domain controllers.]
    2. WDS (windows deployment services) instead of RIS in 2003 server
    3. shadow copy for each and every folders
    4.boot sequence is changed
    5.installation is 32 bit where as 2003 it is 16 as well as 32 bit, that’s why installation of 2008 is faster
    6.services are known as role in it
    7. Group policy editor is a separate option in ads

    2) The main difference between 2003 and 2008 is Virtualization, management.
    2008 has more inbuilt components and updated third party drivers Microsoft introduces new feature with 2k8 that is Hyper-V  Windows Server 2008 introduces Hyper-V (V for Virtualization) but only on 64bit versions. More and more companies are seeing this as a way of reducing hardware costs by running several ‘virtual’ servers on one physical machine. If you like this exciting technology, make sure that you buy an edition of Windows Server 2008 that includes Hyper-V, then launch the Server Manger, add Roles.

    3) In Windows Server 2008, Microsoft is introducing new features and technologies, some of which were not available in Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1), that will help to reduce the power consumption of server and client operating systems, minimize environmental byproducts, and increase server efficiency.
    Microsoft Windows Server 2008 has been designed with energy efficiency in mind, to provide customers with ready and convenient access to a number of new power-saving features. It includes updated support for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) processor power management (PPM) features, including support for processor performance states (P-states) and processor idle sleep states on multiprocessor systems. These features simplify power management in Windows Server 2008 (WS08) and can be managed easily across servers and clients using Group Policies.

  • Ques: What is the difference between server 2003 and 2008

    Ans: Many features are updated — as security, IIS and RODC.
    In security it enable outbound firewall as well as inbound, IIS 7 release, Read only Domain controllers.
    1. Virtualization
    2. Server Core provides the minimum installation required to carry out a specific server role, such as for a DHCP, DNS or print server.
    3. Boot sequence is changed
    4. Role-based installation or, services are known as role in it
    5. Read Only Domain Controllers (RODC)
    6. WDS (windows deployment services) instead of RIS in 2003 server
    7. Network Access Protection Microsoft’s system for ensuring that clients connecting to Server 2008 are patched, running a firewall and in compliance with corporate security policies.
    8. Power Shell Microsoft’s new(ish) command line shell and scripting language has proved popular with some server administrators.
    9. IIS
    10. Bitlocker System drive encryption can be a sensible security measure for servers located in remote branch offices.

    The main difference between 2003 and 2008 is Virtualization, management.
    2008 has more inbuilt components and updated third party drivers.
    Microsoft introduces new feature with 2k8 that is Hyper-V
    Windows Server 2008 introduces Hyper-V (V for Virtualization) but only on 64bit versions. More and more companies are seeing this as a way of reducing hardware costs by running several ‘virtual’ servers on one physical machine. If you like this exciting technology,
    make sure that you buy an edition of Windows Server 2008 that includes Hyper-V, then launch the Server Manger, add Roles.

    Windows Server 2008, formerly codenamed Longhorn, is no leas than 45 times faster than its predecessor, Windows Server 2003, in terms of network transfer speeds. Now whatever the perspective is on Microsoft’s last 32-bit server operating system, the fact of
    the matter is that faster transfer speeds for of up to 45 times is quite an evolution compared to Windows Server 2003. Back in June 2007, Microsoft commissioned a study to the Tally Group focused on the networking performances of its latest Windows client
    and server operating system, which ended up as the «Enhanced Network Performance with Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008» whitepaper. The paper pointed to the fact that both Vista and Windows Server 2008 managed to offer «Dramatic network performance
    benefits».

    Windows server 2008 has been more updated than windows server 2003.

    Microsoft introduces new feature with 2k8 that is Hyper-V
    Windows Server 2008 introduces Hyper-V (V for Virtualization) but only on 64bit versions. More and more companies are seeing this as a way of reducing hardware costs by running several ‘virtual’ servers on one physical machine. If you like this exciting technology,
    make sure that you buy an edition of Windows Server 2008 that includes Hyper-V, then launch the Server Manger, add Roles.

    Windows Server 2008, formerly codenamed Longhorn, is no leas than 45 times faster than its predecessor, Windows Server 2003, in terms of network transfer speeds. Now whatever the perspective is on Microsoft’s last 32-bit server operating system, the fact of
    the matter is that faster transfer speeds for of up to 45 times is quite an evolution compared to Windows Server 2003. Back in June 2007, Microsoft commissioned a study to the Tally Group focused on the networking performances of its latest Windows client
    and server operating system, which ended up as the «Enhanced Network Performance with Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008» whitepaper. The paper pointed to the fact that both Vista and Windows Server 2008 managed to offer «Dramatic network performance
    benefits».

    Windows server 2008 has been more updated than windows server 2003.

Основное различие между 2003 и 2008 годами — виртуализация, управление. 2008 имеет больше встроенных компонентов и обновленных драйверов сторонних производителей. Microsoft представляет новую функцию с 2k8, а именно Hyper-V. Windows Server 2008 представляет Hyper-V (V для виртуализации), но только в 64-битных версиях.

Какая последняя версия Windows Server?

Windows Server 2019 — это последняя версия серверной операционной системы Windows Server от Microsoft, как часть семейства операционных систем Windows NT, разработанная одновременно с Windows 10 версии 1809.

Задаваясь вопросом, какую версию Windows Server выбрать для своего бизнеса, пользователи, как правило, сталкиваются с большим разнообразием, и далеко не всегда понятно как выбрать наиболее подходящий вариант. У операционной системы Windows Server существуют не только разные версии, но и разные редакции. Давайте разберемcя в чем же отличия между ними.

Что такое версия Windows Server?

В 90-е годы, во времена Windows NT, каждая версия Windows Server имела уникальный номер. Например, у Windows NT были номера 3.1, 3.51 и 4.0. Но начиная с 2000 года Microsoft вместо номера начала добавлять после названия год запуска операционной системы: Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, 2008 (которая также имела версию R2), 2012 (также с R2), 2016 и 2019, и т.д.

Каждая новая версия Microsoft Windows Server представляет новые функциональные возможности. Например, виртуализация Hyper-V, Server Core и BitLocker были представлены в Windows Server 2008, контейнеры Windows и Nano Server были представлены в Windows Server 2016, а Windows Server 2019 принес с собой Windows Admin Center — новый способ удаленного администрирования серверной инфраструктуры, улучшения гиперконвергентной инфраструктуры и глубокую поддержку подсистемы Linux.

Что такое завершение поддержки?

Как говорится, ничто не вечно. И в определенный момент Microsoft прекращает выпуск патчей для устаревшего программного обеспечения. Дата, до которой Microsoft выпускает обновления для продукта, называется датой окончания поддержки. И после того, как эта дата пройдет, устаревшая версия ОС станет легкой мишенью для вредоносных программ, поскольку она больше не будет получать обновления безопасности и, следовательно, будет уязвима для новых эксплоитов.

Операционные системы Microsoft обычно поддерживаются не менее 10 лет. Например, популярный Windows Server 2003, выпущенный в апреле 2003 года, имел расширенную поддержку, которая закончились в 2015 году. Расширенная поддержка Windows Server 2008 R2 должна закончиться в январе 2020 года, а Windows Server 2012 R2 продолжит получать обновления по крайней мере до октября 2023 года. Версии Server 2016 и 2019 будут получать обновления по 2027 и 2029 год соответственно. Поэтому в целях безопасности организациям на самом деле следует использовать только свежие версии Windows Server.

Что такое редакция Windows Server?

Когда вы покупаете автомобиль, вам доступно, как минимум, несколько комплектаций одной и той же модели. Например, базовый экономичный вариант, роскошный вариант с кожаными сиденьями и люком на крыше, а также спортивный вариант с большими колесами и более мощным двигателем. Другими словами, каждая версия автомобиля имеет свою цену и набор функций для групп клиентов с разными бюджетами и потребностями.

То же самое касается выпусков Windows Server. Каждый вариант включает в себя функциональность, которая подходит для разных компаний, в зависимости от их размера и бюджета. Например, разные редакции могут поддерживать разное количество пользователей.

Различия между редакциями Windows Server 2012 R2

Чтобы помочь понять некоторые различия между редакциями ОС, давайте разберем их на примере Windows Server 2012 R2:

  • Foundation — серверная ОС общего назначения, лучше всего подходящая для серверов нижнего уровня. ОС поддерживает только один процессор и 32 ГБ RAM. Редакция Foundation (недоступная в Windows Server 2016) ограничена 15 пользователями, что делает ее пригодной только для небольших офисов. Foundation доступен только через OEM-производителей, что обычно означает, что он предустановлен на компьютерах, которые вы покупаете у таких компаний, как Dell и HPE.
  • Essentials (ранее SBS или Small Business Server) — это простое в настройке серверное решение, которое поддерживает до 25 пользователей и 50 устройств, что делает его подходящим для небольших офисов. Essentials поддерживает более мощное оборудование с объемом оперативной памяти до 64 ГБ и двумя процессорами. В отличие от других выпусков Windows Server, в Essentials предварительно настроены роли, такие как Active Directory, DNS, файловые службы, IIS и удаленный рабочий стол, что делает его идеальным для организаций с менее развитым ИТ-направлением или менее опытным ИТ-персоналом.
  • Standard не ограничивает пользователей, но в отличие от Foundation и Essentials вам придется отдельно приобретать клиентские лицензии (CAL) в зависимости от того, сколько людей вам нужно поддерживать. Standard поддерживает максимум 4 ТБ RAM, а каждая приобретаемая лицензия распространяется на два процессора. Если вы заинтересованы в виртуализации, этот выпуск позволит вам использовать гипервизор Hyper-V для запуска до двух виртуальных экземпляров операционной системы (дополнительные виртуальные экземпляры Windows Server потребуют дополнительных затрат) на одном физическом оборудовании, что делает редакцию Standard подходящей для легкой виртуализированной среды.
  • Datacenter — это самая лучшая и самая дорогая редакция Windows Server. Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter практически идентичен стандартной версии с одним большим исключением. С лицензией Datacenter вы можете запускать неограниченное количество виртуальных экземпляров с Windows Server в качестве гостевой ОС на одном двухпроцессорном компьютере. Эта небольшая разница имеет большое влияние, так как компании могут сэкономить, запустив десятки экземпляров ОС на одном сервере.

Различия между редакциями Windows Server 2012 R2

Различия между редакциями Windows Server 2016 и 2019

  • Hyper-V — это бесплатная редакция Windows Server, предназначенная только для запуска роли гипервизора Hyper-V. Его цель — быть гипервизором для вашей виртуальной среды. У него нет графического интерфейса. По сути, это урезанная версия Server Core. Вы будете использовать sconfig.cmd, чтобы включить гипервизор, а затем управлять средой с помощью диспетчера Hyper-V (как часть RSAT) с рабочей станции Windows 10 в вашей сети. Рекомендуется использовать именно эту редакцию для вашего гипервизора, чтобы сохранить чистоту и простоту лицензирования.
  • Essentials — идеально подходит как для малого и среднего бизнеса, так и для людей с потребностями в базовых функциях сервера. Графический интерфейс в значительной степени такой же, как и в Standard, за исключением мастера настройки Essentials.

Права на виртуализацию
Вам разрешено запускать один физический экземпляр Essentials в качестве хоста Hyper-V, на котором размещен один виртуальный экземпляр Essentials. Вам нужно удалить все роли, кроме роли Hyper-V, из физического экземпляра Essentials для обеспечения соответствия. Essentials также подходит для одного виртуального экземпляра на любом другом гипервизоре.

Модель лицензирования
На базе процессора. Клиентские лицензии не требуются, но вы ограничены 25 пользователями и 50 устройствами, подключающимися к серверу.

Аппаратные ограничения
Essentials ограничен до 64 ГБ RAM и 2 CPU на компьютере, на котором он установлен.

  • Standard — идеально подходит для любой компании или для лиц, которым требуются расширенные функции, но при этом они не будут интенсивно виртуализироваться.

Права на виртуализацию
Разрешено запускать до двух виртуальных машин или контейнеров Hyper-V или один физический экземпляр со стандартной лицензией. Если вы используете роль Hyper-V только на физическом экземпляре, то можете использовать ее в качестве хоста Hyper-V, а затем разместить на этом хосте две виртуальные машины Hyper-V. Если вы хотите использовать несколько ролей на физическом экземпляре, вы не можете запускать виртуальную машину поверх с одной и той же лицензией.

Модель лицензирования
Основанная на ядре. Клиентские лицензии необходимы для каждого пользователя или устройства, которые подключаются косвенно или напрямую к серверу. Например, если вы используете сервер в качестве файлового сервера, вам потребуется лицензия CAL для каждой учетной записи пользователя или компьютера, которые обращаются к этому файловому серверу в сети.

Аппаратные ограничения
Стандарт ограничен максимум 24 ТБ оперативной памяти и 512 ядрами.

  • Datacenter — идеально подходит для любой компании с высокой степенью виртуализации. Вы приобретаете лицензию в зависимости от того, сколько ядер есть у ваших хостов, на которых может жить любая виртуальная машина с версией Datacenter (запускаться или потенциально запускаться после Vmotion). Это лицензирование, на первый взгляд, кажется дорогим, но оно позволяет создавать неограниченное количество виртуальных машин, работающих под управлением Datacenter на хостах, которые вы учитывали. Если у вас небольшое количество хостов (а впоследствии и ядер) и большое количество потенциальных виртуальных машин, тогда эта лицензия не представляет никакой сложности.

Права на виртуализацию
Неограниченное количество виртуальных машин или контейнеров Hyper-V. Как было озвучено выше, вы будете покупать лицензии в зависимости от того, сколько ядер у вас на хостах. На этом этапе вы можете запустить на хостах столько угодно виртуальных машин, используя любые роли.

Модель лицензирования
Основанная на ядрах. Убедитесь, что вы случайно не выбрали этот выпуск при установке на физический сервер, на котором не размещаются виртуальные машины. Клиентские лицензии необходимы для каждого пользователя или устройства, которые подключаются косвенно или напрямую к серверам в вашей среде.

Различия в лицензировании Windows Server 2016 и новее

Хотя цены на Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016, 2019 одинаковы, если вы используете стандартную лицензию или лицензию Datacenter на Windows Server 2016 или новее, есть некоторые ключевые изменения, о которых вам необходимо знать. Прежде всего, в то время как лицензии Windows Server исторически продавались для каждого процессора / сокета, в Windows Server 2016 модель лицензирования переключалась на каждое ядро.

Таким образом, если у вас есть сервер, содержащий 2 процессора с 24 ядрами , в Windows Server 2012 вам нужно будет купить только одну лицензию Standard или Datacenter. В Windows Server 2016 вам придется покупать лицензии на все 24 ядра. Это становится довольно сложно, так как есть много правил, но главное — если у вас есть 16-ядерный сервер, затраты будут примерно такими же. Однако лицензирование ОС может быть более дорогим на серверах с более высокой плотностью ядра.

Несмотря на изменение лицензии на ядро, правила виртуализации остаются такими же в Windows Server 2016 и новее. После того, как вы лицензировали все свои ядра на сервере, со стандартной версией вы получаете 2 лицензии гостевой ОС Windows Server по сравнению с неограниченным количеством в версии Datacenter.

Кроме того, набор функций в Windows Server 2012 Standard и Datacenter был одинаковым. Но некоторые функции Windows Server 2016, например, такие, как Storage Spaces Direct или экранированные виртуальные машины, доступны только в выпуске Datacenter.

Сравнение параметров установки Windows Server 2016 и 2019

В редакциях Standard и Datacenter можно выбрать различные варианты установки. Эти варианты влияют на то, какие функции будут доступны после установки, такие как наличие графического интерфейса пользователя и набор сервисов. Присутствуют следующие варианты установки:

  • Desktop Experience (с графическим интерфейсом);
  • Core;
  • Nano.

Desktop Experience — это вариант установки, с которым знакомо большинство людей. Этот параметр устанавливает большинство функций и ролей из коробки, включая интерфейс графического интерфейса рабочего стола. Вы получите Диспетчер серверов, который позволяет добавлять и удалять роли и компоненты. Преимущество в том, что система может быть проще в управлении для людей, привыкших использовать графический интерфейс. Недостаток в том, что у вас появляется больше обновлений, перезагрузок и открытых портов с которыми предстоит иметь дело.

Узнайте больше от Microsoft здесь.

В Server Core отсутствует графический интерфейс и несколько ролей, которые устанавливаются по умолчанию под опцией Desktop Experience. Серверное ядро имеет меньший объем занимаемого дискового пространства и, следовательно, меньшую область атаки из-за меньшей кодовой базы. Здесь также меньше обновлений, перезагрузок и открытых портов для работы. Это отличный вариант для серверов инфраструктуры, таких как контроллеры домена Active Directory и DNS-серверы.

В этой редакции отсутствуют инструменты специальных возможностей, встроенные инструменты настройки сервера и поддержка звука. Эта версия без излишеств. Не лишним будет убедиться, что вы знакомы с администрированием на основе командной строки.

Подробнее об этом можно прочитать на сайте Microsoft.

Nano

Начиная с Windows Server 2019, Nano доступен только как контейнеризированный образ операционной системы. Он предназначен для запуска в качестве контейнера внутри хоста контейнеров, такого как Server Core, упомянутого выше. Если вы опираетесь на контейнерные приложения, предназначенные для серверных ОС, то эту версию вы будете использовать для компиляции этих приложений.

Nano можно развернуть с помощью версий Standard или Datacenter, но у вас должна быть прикреплена Software Assurance к лицензированию хост-сервера. Узнать об этом подробнее можно на сайте Microsoft.
