As I had mentioned before the holidays, the posting here at Realtime Windows Server has been admittedly a little light over the holidays. But even community posting has to take some time off for family, friends, and snowboarding.

Continuing with the festivities, the wife and I are heading out this week for a little cruise down in the Caribbean, blissfully away from all cell phones, Internet access, and dangerously close to numerous forms of fruity adult beverages.

At the same time, though, with the beginning of 2008 upon us I want to keep your appetite whet for the impending release of Server 2008. I've also said before that I believe Domain Controllers are likely to be some of your very first servers to see an upgrade. So, in honor of that Resolution for New Year's, let's start out the year (and my vacation) with a short series on What's Most Neat & Cool with Domain Controllers in Server 2008.

Over the next five posts, I'll be showing you a few more snippets out of my recent book, Windows Server 2008: What's New / What's Changed, available at www.sapienpress.com. In those five posts, you'll get a glimpse at what to expect out of Domain Controllers in Server 2008 and how upgrading them gets much easier. I think you'll like what you're about to see.
