Before we dig into this feature, let me tell you a brief background story concerning this book. Why write a book about a beta version of a product? Won’t a book like this become obsolete once the final release version of the product appears? Probably, yes. After all, at the time of writing this particular chapter, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 has not quite reached Beta 3, so features are bound to change between now and RTM.
