Designed specifically as a single-purpose Web server, Windows Web Server 2008 enables deployment of Web sites, Web applications, and Web services, and is integrated with the newly re-architected IIS 7.0, ASP.NET, and Microsoft .NET Framework.

Features

Internet Information Services 7.0 (IIS7)

IIS7 provides a new Web server and security-enhanced, easy-to-manage platform for developing and reliably hosting Web applications and services.

Server Core

Server Core allows installation of server roles with only the necessary components, which minimizes the data and service footprint and reduces attack surfaces.

Windows PowerShell

Windows PowerShell, a new command-line shell and scripting language, enables administrators to automate routine system tasks across multiple servers.
