Présentant l'évaluation et la planification de Microsoft de 3.0

Pour ceux de toi à qui considèrent la migration de votre infrastructure d'ordinateur de bureau et de serveur Windows Vista SP1 et serveur 2008 de Windows, nous avons de bonnes nouvelles pour toi !

Comme nous avons annoncé chez TechEd LE forum 2007 à Barcelone novembre passé, l'équipe d'accélérateurs de solution de Microsoft va libérer la version augmentée de l'évaluation 2.1 de matériel de Windows Vista appelée Évaluation et planification 3.0 de Microsoft (CARTE d'aka).

En bref, CARTE est un outil réseau-large automatisé d'inventaire et d'évaluation d'agent-moins qui peut rapidement déterminer si les ordinateurs de bureau et les serveurs de votre organisation sont prêts pour la migration à Windows Vista et au serveur 2008 de Windows.

Ce qui je signifiez près AGENT-LESS inventaire ? Simplement mis, il ne signifie que vous n'avez besoin de ne lancer aucun agent de logiciel sur aucune de ces machines que vous voulez que cet outil inventorie et questionne - ainsi plus de soucis de sécurité et d'interruption d'utilisateur !

Il offre l'inventaire réseau-large rapide des machines et produit des rapports de compatibilité de matériel et de dispositif avec des recommandations exigibles sous forme de documents automobile-produits de proposition - documentation parfaite pour le votre IL planification de projet en nouvel exercice budgétaire !

La meilleure partie est celle

Je transmets par relais l'article suivant au nom de mon collègue Shanen Boettcher, directeur général de gestion du produit de Windows pour l'entreprise. It’s the first in a series of posts from Shanen exploring what we’re doing to make it simpler and easier to introduce and get the most out of virtualization of Windows in enterprise environments.

Today we’re making a series of announcements outlining our company-wide strategy for virtualization from the desktop to the datacenter.

For all the hype and excitement in the industry, the primary scenario of using machine-level hardware virtualization to consolidate server machines has been used on less than 10% of hardware servers. While virtualization started in server consolidation, it is only a small piece of the value offered by virtualization. Nowadays virtualization is not a single technology; instead, it is a collection of technologies that can be applied to all aspects of the server and the desktop. Less than 1% of desktops take advantage of virtualization and yet machine virtualization, application virtualization, presentation virtualization and even profile virtualization are upcoming virtualization techniques that when applied can increase the flexibility, business continuity, security and agility of desktop deployments. Application virtualization — the notion of reducing conflicts between

Hi all! It’s been a little bit over 2 months since my last blog on the Windows Vista Hardware Assessment 2.1 (WVHA) release back in August. You may wonder what our dev team is up to. Well, aside from getting the much needed rest, we have been busy working on the NEXT version of the tool. Yes, we’re talking about a major expansion here. For those of you who haven’t heard of WVHA, it’s basically a network-wide readiness assessment tool that goes out to your network and securely assess each PC for their hardware and device compatibility for Windows Vista and 2007 Microsoft Office migration - click here for my detailed blog post.

Tool Expansion - Microsoft Assessment and Planning Solution Accelerator

This expansion will not only retain the original WVHA functionalities and the 7-language localization, but it will also incorporate many elements for the Windows Server 2008 wave and Microsoft Integrated Virtualization initiative. Imagine having the same agent-less inventory capabilities to survey the IT infrastructure of servers, applications and workstations and get back a series of assessment reports in an hour or two!

Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Solution Accelerator, the new name announced

Today, Nick told you about some updates to the tools in the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) from Barcelona, Spain at TechEd IT Forum. I recently had a chance to give one of the components of MDOP - the Microsoft Diagnostic and Recovery Toolset (DaRT) 6.0 - a try. DaRT is an excellent set of tools for IT Professionals to troubleshoot unresponsive PCs and removing viruses and malware off infected PCs in their environment. DaRT 6.0 also now has the ability for IT Professionals to conduct offline removal of malware and viruses from infected PCs.

The first thing I noticed when I started using DaRT is that it provides two options to the IT Professional: a way to analyze crash files from unresponsive PCs through the Crash Analysis Wizard, and a way to create a startup disc with the necessary tools in fixing an unresponsive PC that is unable to boot into Windows called ERD Commander.

I first took a look at the Crash Analysis Wizard.

The Crash Analysis Wizard allows an IT Professional to take a crash dump file (*.dmp files associated with a system crash) and analyze it and get important bits of information that could
