  1. Deep Dive on Windows Server 2008

  2. Agenda • IIS 7.0 Overview • Windows 2008 Features • Virtualization (Hyper-V) • Powershell • Q&A

  3. Global Launch: February 27, 2008

  4. Opportunity for Hosters • Manage with Ease: • More efficient administration tools including delegated administration and shared configuration • Powerful Hosting of Applications and Services: • Expanded application hosting for .NET, ASP, PHP Web applications and XML services • Lower Infrastructure Costs: • Improved scalability, reliability and enhanced security features

  5. Quotes from IIS 7 Preview Hosters Why in the world is Front Page still supported?! Shared Configuration allows me to do what I’ve wanted to for a long while! IIS 7 is definitely a step in the right direction. Glad you’re listening! IIS 7 will make my life much easier!

  6. Microsoft is dedicated to creating the best hosting platform on the planet. Windows Server Web Edition 2008 New IIS Manager: manage thousands of sites Opt-in modular architecture World-class hosting for ASP.NET and PHP New, flexible configuration system Security based on IIS 6’s solid legacy, simplified and enhanced Rich suite of automation tools Modern, secure FTP server IIS 7 Built for Hosting

  7. Windows Server 2008 Web Edition • Reduced costs, increased capacity • 4 processors • 4GB Ram (x32), 32GB (x64) • Microsoft® SQL Server™ allowed for local Web applications • Includes Windows SharePoint • Server Core optional install

  8. The New IIS 7 Manager

  9. DEMO Managing 4000 Sites

  10. IIS6 Architecture - Request Processing Monolithic implementation -install all or nothing… Authentication NTLM Basic Anon … Determine Handler CGI Static File ASP.NET ISAPI PHP … Send Response Extend server functionality only through ISAPI… Log Compress

  11. IIS 7 Architecture - Request Processing Server functionality is split into ~ 40 modules... Authentication Authentication NTLM Basic Anon Authorization … Modules plug into a generic request pipeline… ResolveCache Determine Handler CGI … Static File ExecuteHandler Modules extend serverfunctionalitythrough a public module API ISAPI … … UpdateCache Send Response SendResponse Log Compress

  12. aspnet_isapi.dll Authentication Forms Windows … ASPX Map Handler Trace … … IIS 6 ASP.NET Integration • ISAPI-based implementation • Only sees ASP.NET requests • Feature duplication Authentication NTLM Basic Anon … Determine Handler CGI Static File ISAPI … Send Response Log Compress

  13. IIS 7 ASP.NET Integration Basic • Two App Pool modes • Classic (IIS 6) • Integrated Mode • .NET modules/handlers plug directly into pipeline • Process all requests • Full runtime fidelity Anon Authentication Authorization ResolveCache aspnet_isapi.dll … Static File Authentication ExecuteHandler Forms Windows … … ISAPI ASPX Map Handler UpdateCache Trace SendResponse Compress … … Log

  14. PHP/FastCGI • Reach new markets with reliable and performant PHP hosting • Develop and deploy on the same platform • PHP apps benefit from IIS 7 capabilities • Pipeline service available to PHP • Leverage .NET Forms Authentication • Use URLFiltering, URLAuth, Caching • Tracing and diagnostics • Delegated administration • Apps benefit from integration with Microsoft suite of servers and management services

  15. DEMO Servicing PHP Applications with IIS7 Modules

  16. Flexible Configuration • XML-based configuration • Xcopy server or site configuration • Easy to manage with new APIs and tools • Fully extensible schema for custom applications • Delegate administration • Permit site owners to control specific settings • Shared configuration • Multiple servers share single config file

  17. Security Enhacments • Built on IIS 6’s proven security design • Improved application pool sandbox • Anonymous user “built in”, not a local account • Customer configurable rules • URLFiltering: Filtering of suspicious URLs • Replaces URLScan • URLAuthorization: control access to content • Does not rely on ACLs • Rules are stored locally and relocate with content

  18. Excellent Application Compatability • Static, ASP and ISAPI: fully compatible • ASP.NET • Very high compatibility in integrated mode • Classic mode insures IIS 6 equivalent functionality • PHP, works without modification • IIS 6 ADSI: Install IIS 6 Metabase compatibly role service

  19. Tracing and Diagnostics • View detailed errors in the browser • New errors provide prescriptive guidance • Runtime state info in real time • New APIs expose runtime diagnostic information • E.g. See all currently executing requests • Rapidly troubleshoot faulty applications • Define ‘failures’ triggers by error code or time taken • Configurable per application or URL • Failed request log chronicles events for trigger • Quickly identify bottlenecks • Extensible eventing system

  20. Automating IIS 7 Management • APPCMD • General purpose command line tool • Managed code API • Microsoft.Web.Administration • WMI • Improved namespace for IIS 7 • ADSI compatibility • Powershell • Use with Managed API and WMI

  21. Enabling Partners • Ecosystem of partners supporting deployment of IIS 7

  22. FTP 7 • Integrated publishing • Secure file transfer with FTPS • Improved user isolation • Authenticate to non-Windows accounts • Integrated with the IIS manager

  23. IIS 7 Go Live • What is it? • Offer your customers IIS 7 sites today • What’s in it for you? • Early deployment availability of IIS 7 • Opportunity to provide feedback to the product team • Co-promotion and PR opportunities • IIS.net spotlights and offer directory • Why is Microsoft offering this program? • Increase feedback, build partnership, promote early adoption

  24. IIS.net: Home for IIS Community! In-depth technical articles and samples Connect with other IIS experts on blogs & forums Free advice and assistance in forums Download center with IIS solutions

  25. Improve Uptime • Before, hardware upgrades and maintenance have required a shutdown, resulting in downtime • Windows Server 2008 reduces the need for downtime by supporting these hardware configuration changes without a reboot: • Hot add and replacement of processors (Datacenter Edition) • Hot plug PCI Express • Some vendor proprietary Windows Server 2003 configurations supported hot plug PCI • Hot add memory (Enterprise and Datacenter Editions)

  26. Self-Healing NTFS • Before, NTFS corruptions required running Chkdsk, which often could only be done on the next reboot • In Windows Server 2008, an NTFS worker thread performs background Chkdsk-type corrections when NTFS detects a corrupt file or directory • Minor disk errors are transparent to the user • No need to reboot to repair corruptions

  27. Clean Service Shutdown • Before, services had no way to extend the time allowed for shutdown • After a fixed timeout (default 20 seconds), SCM was killed and system halted (while services were running) • This was a problem for services that needed to flush data • In Windows Server 2008, services can request preshutdown notification and take as long as they want to shut down • If the service stops responding the system gives up on it after 3 minutes
