An Introduction to Windows Server 2008 Server Manager 1-800-COURSES www.globalknowledge.com Expert Reference Series of White Papers Introduction When you take your first look at Windows Server 2008, you'll find that many of the traditional tools that graced Server 2003 are still around: the Computer Management console; the System Information utility; the Services console; and so forth. Administrative Tools are still in a Start menu folder named "Administrative Tools," and you can start feeling fairly comfortable with the GUI if you have background with prior versions of Windows. If you have logged some flight time with Windows Vista, things will look even more familiar. Windows Server 2008 has the look and feel of Windows Vista. (Which makes sense, when you consider that both products were developed under the "Longhorn" moniker , and share many megabytes of code.) The new collapsible Start menu, the Vista-style search facilities, as well as some of the tools (such as Windows Firewall with Advanced Security) look just as they do in the Vista GUI. Where things change a bit is in the Server Manager console (ServerManager.msc, typically under C:\Windows\System32), which is really the "nerve center" of Server 2008. Parts of this console are simply con- venient pointers to other administrative tools. However, the "Roles" and "Features" nodes may be unfamiliar to you. This white paper introduces the Server Manager console and will help you find your way around it, so that you can get up to speed with Server 2008 more quickly than I did when I first started stumbling around this massive console! Version note: For this white paper, I installed Server 2008 Enterprise Edition, Beta 3 (build 6001), into a fresh Virtual Machine running on Virtual PC 2007, with the Virtual Machine Additions. The host system was Windows V ista Ultimate . What Is Server Manager? Server Manager is an administrative "cockpit" for managing virtually everything about a Windows 2008 Server machine. It combines capabilities that were spread across several consoles in Windows 2003: Configure Your Server , Manage Your Server, the Windows Optional Components wizard of the Add/Remove Programs control panel, the Security Configuration Wizard, and so on. It is quite possible that many server admins will be able to do almost everything they need to do from this one console. Of course, like other MMC consoles, you have the flexibility to create your own customized version of this tool, but I'd recommend spending some significant time with the "vanilla" Server Manager before you do so. Note that Server Manager is not the same as the "Initial Configuration Tasks" console (ICT) that comes up automatically the first time after you install Server 2008. You can use the ICT to assign an administrator pass- Glenn Weadock, Global Knowledge Instructor & Developer, MCSE, MCT, A+ An Introduction to Windows Server 2008 Server Manager Copyright ©2007 Global Knowledge T raining LLC.

Though the threats that modern humans face are not large predators, the autonomic nervous system is adapted to this type of stimulus The modern world presents stimuli that trigger the same response (credit: Vernon Swanepoel) Chapter Objectives After studying this chapter, you will be able to: • Describe the components of the autonomic nervous system • Differentiate between the structures of the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions in the autonomic nervous system • Name the components of a visceral reflex specific to the autonomic division to which it belongs • Predict the response of a target effector to autonomic input on the basis of the released signaling molecule • Describe how the central nervous system coordinates and contributes to autonomic functions 1/2 Introduction The autonomic nervous system is often associated with the “fight-or-flight response,” which refers to the preparation of the body to either run away from a threat or to stand and fight in the face of that threat To suggest what this means, consider the (very unlikely) situation of seeing a lioness hunting out on the savannah Though this is not a common threat that humans deal with in the modern world, it represents the type of environment in which the human species thrived and adapted The spread of humans around the world to the present state of the modern age occurred much more quickly than any species would adapt to environmental pressures such as predators However, the reactions modern humans have in the modern world are based on these prehistoric situations If your boss is walking down the hallway on Friday afternoon looking for “volunteers” to come in on the weekend, your response is the same as the prehistoric human seeing the lioness running across the savannah: fight or flight Most likely, your response to your boss—not to mention the lioness—would be flight Run away! The autonomic system is responsible for the physiological response to make that possible, and hopefully successful Adrenaline starts to flood your circulatory system Your heart rate increases Sweat glands become active The bronchi of the lungs dilate to allow more air exchange Pupils dilate to increase visual information Blood pressure increases in general, and blood vessels dilate in skeletal muscles Time to run Similar physiological responses would occur in preparation for fighting off the threat This response should sound a bit familiar The autonomic nervous system is tied into emotional responses as well, and the fight-or-flight response probably sounds like a panic attack In the modern world, these sorts of reactions are associated with anxiety as much as with response to a threat It is engrained in the nervous system to respond like this In fact, the adaptations of the autonomic nervous system probably predate the human species and are likely to be common to all mammals, and perhaps shared by many animals That lioness might herself be threatened in some other situation However, the autonomic nervous system is not just about responding to threats Besides the fight-or-flight response, there are the responses referred to as “rest and digest.” If that lioness is successful in her hunting, then she is going to rest from the exertion Her heart rate will slow Breathing will return to normal The digestive system has a big job to Much of the function of the autonomic system is based on the connections within an autonomic, or visceral, reflex 2/2 An Introduction to Windows Server 2008 Server Manager 1-800-COURSES www.globalknowledge.com Expert Reference Series of White Papers Introduction When you take your first look at Windows Server 2008, you'll find that many of the traditional tools that graced Server 2003 are still around: the Computer Management console; the System Information utility; the Services console; and so forth.
