New blog and some interesting Win2k8 tidbits

I found a new blog that had a ton of information that I just happen to be looking for. http://blogs.technet.com/daven

All of the following was taken from the above blog.

  1. Microsoft.com is running on IIS7/Win2k8 Beta 3
    1. http://blogs.iis.net/bills/archive/2007/06/15/www-microsoft-com-is-live-on-iis7-beta-3-are-you.aspx
  2. The web server role is now included in the core
  3. Speaking of core, below is a list of command line commands that can be used to get your core install off to a good start.

When the Core installation is finished, you have a server with an unknown name, with a blank administrator’s password in a workgroup.

To get it configured you’ll need these commands:

 

net user administrator *
hostname
netdom renamecomputer <ComputerName> /NewName:<NewComputerName>
netsh interface ipv4 show interfaces
netsh interface ipv4 set address name=”<ID>” source=static address=<StaticIP> mask=<SubnetMask> gateway=<DefaultGateway>
netsh interface ipv4 add dnsserver name=”<ID>” address=<DNSIP>index=1
netdom join <ComputerName> /domain:<DomainName> /userd:<UserName> /passwordd:*

 

And a few optional ones:

 

Cscript C:\Windows\System32\Scregedit.wsf /ar 0
WinRM quickconfigcontrol timedate.cpl
control intl.cpl
Slmgr.vbs -ato
start /w ocsetup /?
