Windows Small Business Server "7" and "Aurora" Preview

by admin on July 14, 2010 in Uncategorized with Comments Off on Windows Small Business Server "7" and "Aurora" Preview

On Monday, July 11, 2010, Microsoft will finally reveal some news I’ve been itching to share for months: The company is splitting its Windows Small Business Server (SBS) line into two products. Both will be based on the Windows Server 2008 R2 codebase. But where the first of these products, currently codenamed Small Business Server "7," will logically replace existing, traditional SBS products, the other, currently codenamed "Aurora," goes in a far more exciting new direction.

“Vail” Remote Web Access and Its Extensibility

by admin on July 9, 2010 in Uncategorized with Comments Off on “Vail” Remote Web Access and Its Extensibility

This time we will talk about the extensibility of Remote Web Access.

Some of you (esp. ISV developers) probably wanted to integrate your own products/features in this Remote Web Access portal when Windows Home Server was first released. Unfortunately, the answer you got is “No, you cannot extend this site.” We completely understand how sad you were when you heard this answer.

Therefore, we bring you a brand new Remote Web Access site in Vail.

Microsoft to deliver betas of Vail and Aurora servers next week?

by admin on July 9, 2010 in Uncategorized with Comments Off on Microsoft to deliver betas of Vail and Aurora servers next week?

It sounds like Microsoft is readying new beta builds of two low-end Windows Server releases — known as “Vail” and “Aurora” — to be released next week, timed with the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference, according to my sources.

Vail is the next release of Windows Home Server. Aurora is a small business server based largely on the same code base as Vail. (There’s also a common framework, some kind of “client computer connector,” that extends across the two products, that is codenamed “Colorado.”)
