Windows Server File System and Print Management

One of the greatest and most used features of an operating system is the file system. At its most basic level, the file system allows you to store and read data in a persistent manner. In this tutorial, you look at the facilities for server-based file storage offered by Windows Server 2008. Serverbased file storage is vital in any organization because client-side storage cannot be relied upon from a resiliency perspective, and client-side data is not available to the organization.

You start off with a basic view of the file systems and their features you use in Windows Server 2008, including basic management of file systems, volume creation, maintenance, and more advanced concepts.

After you have data, you sometimes need to print it. So, the second half of the tutorial deals with print server capabilities with Windows Server 2008, including managing the properties of an individual print server, print queues, and multiple print servers from a central management location.
