This is Part 2 of Roles and so let's continue our discussion here. We finished with File Services in Part 1. No, I'm sorry, we finished with Network Policy and Access Services. Alright now, Print Services, pretty straightforward. This lets you provide management for Print Server and printers and a Print Server reduces administrative and management workload by centralizing the Printer Management Tasks onto one server and you can also manage your printer connections through the policy here. There's a lot of cool stuff. If you've ever worked a true Network administration, like a help desk job, you know way more than half of the calls you get are, you know, I can't print, I can't see a printer, my printer's gone away, it's locked up, on and on and on or I sent this document 43 times and it still hadn't printed. You know, those sorts of things that you get. So putting all this on a server and dedicating it to that helps a lot. Terminal Services; now, this is a huge one in our world. This provides the technologies that let users access Windows-based programs that are installed on the server, which means the program is not installed on their client. This lets them what we call dumb clients. They can connect to a Terminal Server and they can run programs and they're actually running the programs now on a machine that doesn't have the hardware requirements or the guts, if you will, to actually run that thing. So Terminal Services continues to get huge. The whole RDP world and so forth is where that comes in. UDDI Services; this has to do with web services and if you're familiar with web services, you know that really a web service is basically a functional call across the Internet for developers in developer-speak. This provides an ability for publishing out on the Internet for the whole world to see what web services your organization is exposing. This can drastically improve the productivity of your developers, your IT professionals where they are trying to build hooks into your system for various programming and development reasons. You can also prevent duplication of effort amongst your developers by putting these out there. Also, you may be a company that depends on web services as part of their revenue stream. You're selling access to your databases or whatever and UDDI will basically publish, if you will, those web services and their descriptions so that people out there on the Internet can find them and begin to use them. Web Server, of course, is Internet Information Server that was upgraded to 7.0 and enhanced architecturally. There was some pretty major changes on the Windows Server 2008 platform. This gives you a web server to basically serve pages out to the Internet or to the intranet and a lot of people are using a lot of intranet functionality and this is based on an ASP.NET and the Windows Communication Foundation. It's Microsoft-enhanced security. They simplified some of the diagnostics. They kind of simplified some of the delegated administration functionalities in IIS 7.0. We're not going to go real deep into IIS 7.0 in this course. I would strongly suggest you go out and read some of the documentation on Microsoft's web site about IIS and then go grab some of the third-party books. Windows Deployment Services; you're going to use this to install and configure Windows Operating Systems remotely on computers that have Preboot Execution Environments, or PXE or PXEs you'll hear. But the whole Preboot Execution Environment is really a way to remotely boot a computer, very remotely and very quickly deploy Windows Operating Systems across the network. Administration was greatly improved here through the implementation of a MMS snap-in that lets you take care of deployments. Anyway, this is something again, you will live in this as an administrator and you'll hear more about this and you'll see this. But notice, these are server Roles, in this video and the previous one, in Part 1 kind of talked about the individual server Roles, OK? And in Part 3, we'll talk about Features and how Features relate to Roles.
