2.Server 2008 offers a Server Core installation, which provides the minimum installation required to carry out a specific server role, such as for a DHCP, DNS or print server

3.IIS 7.0 has ability to delegate administration of servers (and sites) to site admins while restricting their privileges

4.Role-based installation: The concept is that rather than configuring a full server install for a particular role, by uninstalling unnecessary components make the server more secured

5.RODC – to provide better security at branch offices, with read-only active directory database

6.TS Remote App enables remote users to access a centralized application, TS Gateway secures sessions (https)

7.Bit locker encryption protects data from an intruder, while the server is physically removed

8.Microsoft's new (ish) command line shell and scripting language has proved popular with some server administrators, especially those used to working in Linux environments.
