Microsoft adds new components for Windows Server 2008

In the Windows Server 2003 era, Microsoft has begun to strengthen the development of supporting software. In order to crowd out third-party software companies. In the era of Windows Server 2008, this behavior has become more and more fierce.

A feature of Windows Server 2008 called "Drain Mode." When this mode is turned on, the user can reconnect to an existing process, but cannot create a new process. This is significant for server balanced load configurations. This means that you can take out one of the server groups at any time for maintenance without affecting the overall operation.

This feature was previously provided by Citrix. Of course, this feature developed by Microsoft is not perfect yet, but its development process has been moving forward. A highly integrated server system has advantages and disadvantages for users. I believe users will make their own choices.
