In trolling through Microsoft downloads for some upcoming presentations, I happened across an updated version of the original Windows 2003 Active Directory Component “Jigsaw” poster published by TechNet Magazine in their March-April 2006 issue. The updated version, published in July 2007, contains the various AD feature components available in Windows 2008:
- AD Lightweight Directory Services (aka ADAM. Yes. Still.)
- AD Federation Services (ADFS)
- AD Rights Management Services (AD RMS)
- Group Policy (not strictly a feature component, though the Group Policy Management Console – GPMC – is)
- AD Management (sort of a grab bag of new AD features in W2K8, including fine-grained password policies, GlobalName zones, restartable AD, and auditing changes)
- AD Read-Only Domain Controller (RODC) – the most heavily promoted new AD feature in W2K8
If that’s not enough information to cram onto a 20” x 30” poster, one side has a list of acronyms and their translation while the other is a legend of all the pretty icons being used. This is a poster to put on the wall and stare intently at, for a while.
For you non-AD people that occasionally read this blog…yeah, it is complicated :).
