The next big thing, now that System Center family are here are without doubt the next version of Windows Server. And with the newly released "Release Candidate" it's coming fast.

So it's time to start learn whats new and why should you care about the next version. Jumping around on the internet and reading differnt blog post are time consuming and you never seems to get the debt of information, just what people think and have heard.

Remote Desktop Services Shortcut Keys

Working with servers today are in most cases done by using RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol), and it's nice to not have to sit in a cold noisy server room like us old school it-duds did back in the days.

But one of the tradeoffs with working remote is that the keyboard "behaves" different in some scenarios.
Shortcuts are easy when sitting on the physical box and working, but can we use them in a RDP session?

Will I save disk space with Windows Server 2012 Deduplication?

First thing first, Windows Server 8 beta will change name to Windows Server 2012. This was officially announced at MMS2012 and the release date will be later this year.In juni we will se the next test version, called "release candidate"

One of many new cool features are the disk deduplication, check out my blog post here for more info.

There is a tool to check out how much space you might save by using deduplication, but for now the tool are only available after you have enabled the file server feature on a Windows Server 2012 installation. And that's to bad since you might want to test out how much space you can save with an Windows Server 2012 upgrade.

But luckily there is a way to cheat....
