Universal Automation Environment

Demo Compellent Technologies

Todays IT Challenges
Increasing demands from the business
Reliance on technology for business-critical operations Always-available, anywhere

Increasing complexity
Adding capabilities adds management burden 80% of IT cost is managing existing systems

Trends of the future magnify challenges

Move to Datacenters large scale, virtualization remote management Outsourcing lower skilled, high turnover users

Windows Server 2008 R2

Streamlined Management Scenarios
Datacenter Automation
PowerShell: Universal Code Execution Model, GUI over PowerShell, Production Scripting WMI: Discoverability through PS, Profile discovery, CIM update WS-Man: Remote Shell, Support for hosted environments (Web proxy traversal, Federated Auth using Live ID), Hardware Management (out-of-band management in-band with OS), Resource management BITS: Lightweight server PS cmdlets across all!

Server Migration

Known fact: most customers do not perform in-place upgrade Migration is a complex problem both from technical and process perspective WS7 pragmatic approach focus on understanding the problem and building foundation Goal: consistent documentation across all roles, Stretch: scriptable solution for core roles Lays foundation for more complete and richer solution in the future

Rich Server Management

Server Manager creates consistency and enables integration Goal: Further improve Server Manager, adding incremental value Key features: PS cmdlets to add/remove roles/features, remoting, Best Practice Analyzers Incubating next-gen UX Active Directory User Management

Server Manager & PowerShell Integration

Server Manager PowerShell Cmdlets:
Get-WindowsFeature Add-WindowsFeature Remove-WindowsFeature

Leverages PowerShell features/reach

Richer command line experience (auto-completion, wildcards, object pipeline, etc) Remoting Availability on Server Core

PowerShell

Windows PowerShell New command-line shell and scripting language

As interactive and composable as BASH/KSH

As programmatic as Perl/Python/Ruby
As production oriented as AS400 CL/VMS DCL Allows access to data stores as easy to access as filesystem

A taste of PowerShell
Using pkgmgr to install Web Server (IIS):
start /w pkgmgr /iu:IIS-WebServerRole;IIS-WebServer;IIS-CommonHttpFeatures;IISStaticContent;IIS-DefaultDocument;IIS-DirectoryBrowsing;IIS-HttpErrors;IISHttpRedirect;IIS-ApplicationDevelopment;IIS-ASPNET; IIS-NetFxExtensibility; IIS-ASP;IIS-CGI;IIS-ISAPIExtensions;IIS-ISAPIFilter;IIS-ServerSideIncludes;IISHealthAndDiagnostics;IIS-HttpLogging;IIS-LoggingLibraries;IIS-RequestMonitor; IIS-HttpTracing;IIS-CustomLogging;IIS-ODBCLogging;IIS-Security;IISBasicAuthentication;IIS-WindowsAuthentication;IIS-DigestAuthentication;IISClientCertificateMappingAuthentication;IIS-IISCertificateMappingAuthentication; IIS-URLAuthorization;IIS-RequestFiltering; IIS-IPSecurity;IIS-Performance;IIS-HttpCompressionStatic;IISHttpCompressionDynamic;IIS-WebServerManagementTools;IIS-ManagementConsole;IISManagementScriptingTools;IIS-ManagementService;IIS-IIS6ManagementCompatibility; IIS-Metabase;IIS-WMICompatibility;IIS-LegacyScripts;IIS-LegacySnapIn; IIS-FTPPublishingService;IIS-FTPServer;IIS-FTPManagement;WASWindowsActivationService;WAS-ProcessModel;WAS-NetFxEnvironment;WAS-ConfigurationAPI

Or using Server Manager:

Add-WindowsFeature web-server OR servermanagercmd install web-server
