Windows Server 2008 kao Desktop OS

Shadowed
U Xp-u nije moglo iz task manager-a jer je on video da je to bitan proces i govorio "e ne moze", inace je moglo iz drugih programa slicne namene. I sysinternals process expolorer-a si mogao ubiti bilo sta. Npr, winlogon.exe samo sto se onda shutdown izvrsi instantno umesto za minut :) Tj. turn off, ne shutdown (ja sam pomislio da je nestalo struje).

Inside Windows Server 2008 Kernel Changes
Mark Russinovich

At a Glance:

* Memory Management and SMB 2.0
* NTFS self-healing, Windows Hardware Error Architecture, and the driver verifier
* Scalability with I/O completion ports, thread pools, and NUMA
* Hyper-V virtualization

Driver Verifier

The Driver Verifier, a powerful tool for tracking down buggy device drivers and faulty hardware, has been included in every copy of Windows since Windows 2000. Administrators commonly configure the Driver Verifier (%Systemroot%\System32\Verifier.exe) to closely monitor the behavior of device drivers suspected of causing system crashes. The Driver Verifier catches illegal driver operations so that a crash dump file points directly to the guilty party.

A drawback of previous Driver Verifier implementations is that most configuration changes require restarting the system, something that is obviously undesirable on a production server. The Windows Server 2008 implementation of Driver Verifier improves this process by removing the restart requirement for the most useful verifications, making it possible to troubleshoot a problematic server without having to restart it.
In addition, Driver Verifier introduces three new verifications, visible in Figure 3. Security checks ensures that device drivers set secure permissions on the objects they use to interface with applications. Force pending I/O requests tests a driver's resilience to asynchronous I/O operations that complete immediately rather than after a delay. And Miscellaneous checks looks for drivers improperly freeing in-use resources, incorrectly using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) registration APIs, and leaking resource handles.

IgorHW: Pa jedina opcija sto mi onda preostaje jeste da nadjem bt stack od neke druge firme posto vidim da su neki uspeli na taj nacin, ali ko zna da li ce i to raditi kako treba...

Using bcdedit.exe /enum to enumerate through the current entries within the BCD store you'll see something like the following:

Windows Boot Manager
--------------------
identifier {bootmgr}
device partition=C:
description Windows Boot Manager
locale en-US
inherit {globalsettings}
default {current}
displayorder {current}
toolsdisplayorder {memdiag}
timeout 30

Windows Boot Loader
-------------------
identifier {current}
device partition=C:
path \Windows\system32\winload.exe
description Microsoft Windows Server 2008
locale en-US
inherit {bootloadersettings}
osdevice partition=C:
systemroot \Windows
resumeobject {6d3956ce-e199-11dc-8c11-c156da9e35f2}
nx OptOut

To enable the computer to also boot Windows Vista you again use bcdedit.exe with the following command which will copy the current Windows Boot Loader details for Windows Server 2008 to Windows Vista.

bcdedit.exe /copy {current} /d "Microsoft Windows Vista"

bcdedit.exe will respond with something like the following.

The entry was successfully copied to {8677dee0-e502-11dc-9f96-001e4cde5025}.

Using bcdedit.exe /enum to again enumerate through the current entries within the BCD store you'll see the newly added entry:

Windows Boot Manager
--------------------
identifier {bootmgr}
device partition=C:
description Windows Boot Manager
locale en-US
inherit {globalsettings}
default {current}
displayorder {current}
toolsdisplayorder {memdiag}
timeout 30

Windows Boot Loader
-------------------
identifier {current}
device partition=C:
path \Windows\system32\winload.exe
description Microsoft Windows Server 2008
locale en-US
inherit {bootloadersettings}
osdevice partition=C:
systemroot \Windows
resumeobject {6d3956ce-e199-11dc-8c11-c156da9e35f2}
nx OptOut
Windows Boot Loader
-------------------
identifier {8677dee0-e502-11dc-9f96-001e4cde5025}.
device partition=C:
path \Windows\system32\winload.exe
description Microsoft Windows Vista
locale en-US
inherit {bootloadersettings}
osdevice partition=C:
systemroot \Windows
resumeobject {6d3956ce-e199-11dc-8c11-c156da9e35f2}
nx OptOut

Before you can use the newly created Windows boot loader configuration, you'll need to change the partition for Windows Vista using the following two bcdedit.exe commands.

bcdedit.exe /set {8677dee0-e502-11dc-9f96-001e4cde5025} device partition=D:

bcdedit.exe /set {8677dee0-e502-11dc-9f96-001e4cde5025} osdevice partition=D:

If you now reboot the system you should now be able to boot into either Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista.
