procedural tasks. The R2 release is described in context with the initial release of W2K8, differences are

highlighted with additional detail on the new features and enhancements in R2. In particular, it explains the

server roles, and the new v7.5 Internet Information Server (IIS) on R2 (a key dependency for HP TeachNow

which uses a web server-based GUI).
