Posted on by Admin Reports1 Comment on Windows Server 2008 Forum Now Open

I recently opened, yesterday in fact, a new forum for Windows Server 2008 help, support and discussions. Once Windows Server 2008 is released to the public the new forum will be the place to discuss anything related to the new version of Windows Server.

I was going to write up an article about network security. Right before I was ready to start the writeup I found this article so rather than re-inventing the wheel I decided to go with it.

A network is two or more computers linked together in order to share data. From a security standpoint, the problem with networks is that unauthorized individuals might also be able to access that data.
