The myITforum.com Newsletter is brought to you by 1E: So...now that most of you know that ConfigMgr 2007 SP1 is released and
available for download, how many of you actually installed it today?
How many die-hard technologists do we have out there? I remember a time when Chuck Young (remember him?) would grab a service
pack the minute it was released, would disappear from the lists and forums
for a while, and then come back and fill us all in on how the upgrade went. If you've upgraded to SP1 already, let us know. Drop us a note and
let us know how it went, if you had any issues, if you found any gotchas not
listed in the docs, etc. If you are, and you are using Gmail with POP service, drop out to the web
interface for Gmail and login to your account. Gmail seems to be
having some periodic problems with corrupted email accounts. There is
nothing publicly reported yet, but I'm sure there will be soon. For the time being, if you are using Gmail for the email lists, and can't
wait to participate, use another online account such as Live or Hotmail for
the lists. BTW: This only affects some people currently. It seems to be pretty
intermittent right now, but the number of affected users is growing daily. Another gallery full of MMS 2008...

Click Here To WatchManaging
Windows Server 2008 with Server Manager
Windows Server 2008 makes significant improvements in server manageability
with a one-stop administrative solution called Server Manager. This
streamlined management tool allows IT administrators to complete setup of
Windows Server using the Initial Configuration Tasks page, and configure and
manage server roles and features with prescriptive wizards and a unified
management console. Server Manager is built on the Service Modeling Language
(SML) platform, used to model complex IT services and systems in software,
including structure, constraints, configuration, and best practices. This
session presents and demonstrates the configuration and management
capabilities of Server Manager, and discusses how Server Manager as an
administrative solution leverages the model-based management infrastructure
provided by the SML platform.
