Introduction<br />

Windows Server has powered a generation of organizations, from small businesses to large<br />

enterprises. No matter what your role in IT, you can be guaranteed you that have touched Windows<br />

Server at some point in your career or at very least you have seen it from afar! This book introduces<br />

you to Windows Server 2016, which is the next version of Windows Server. No matter what your area<br />

of expertise, this book will introduce you to the latest developments in Windows Server 2016.<br />

Each chapter has been written by either field experts or members of the product group, giving you the<br />

latest information on every improvement or new feature that is included in this version of Windows<br />

Server. This information will help you to prepare for Windows Server 2016 and give you the means to<br />

develop and design a path to introduce Windows Server 2016 into your environment and take full<br />

advantage of what is to come. This book is being written at a time when the product is still evolving<br />

and it should be noted that things might change or not appear in the final version of Windows Server<br />

2016 when released. All guidance in the chapters is meant to be tried and evaluated in a test<br />

environment; you should not implement it in a production environment.<br />

This book assumes that you are familiar with key concepts surrounding Windows Server (i.e., Microsoft<br />

Hyper-V, Networking, and Storage) as well as cloud technologies such as Microsoft Azure. In this<br />

book, we cover a variety of concepts irelated to the technology and present scenarios with a customer<br />

focus, but it is not intended as a how-to or design manual. You can use other sources, including the<br />

online Microsoft resources, to stay up to date with the latest developments on the roles and features<br />

of Windows Server 2016. The online resources will also contain the latest how-to procedures and<br />

information about designing a Windows Server 2016 infrastructure for your business.<br />
