Overall Server Management
As you have already read, the primary overall server management tool in Windows Server
2008 is the Server Manager. The Server Manager is often the single tool needed to install,
monitor, and manage both major and minor server components, as described earlier in
this chapter, as well as throughout this book. Many of the other facilities for administering
Windows Server 2008 described in the following sections are also installed and can be
managed from Server Manager. Figure 1-4 showed the major roles that can be installed
from Server Manager. For many of these major roles, a number of optional role services
Figure 1-4. The Server Manager role selection provides for the installation of the primary server
components like Active Directory Domain Services and Web Server (IIS).

also can be installed. In addition to the roles, a large number of independent server features
can be installed with the Server Manager, some of which are shown in Figure 1-5.
