One of the new features brought by Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 is the 'Managed Service Accounts', which are user accounts that we may assign to our services. It is well known that in our Active Directory we have assigned password expiration policies and we always have a service that does not start with a local system account or SYSTEM, with more privileges. To avoid this hassle of managing accounts with expiring passwords, or that they are vulnerable since the password is always the same and can allow someone to take advantage of that, Microsoft has released this new feature, Of course, to be able to use it, our Active Directory has to be in “Windows Server 2008 R2”.

After viewing a document on how to create shared storage for a cluster, Why not create one? Well, the process is similar to Windows 2003, now we will do it for Windows 2008, A new cluster, and it will be for a file server, failover clustering, The process for another type of cluster is similar. With this we will achieve high availability, that if one of the servers falls (node) Don't worry., since there are other nodes that can take the resources and lift the services so that users can work practically without noticing the fall of the node they were working against. Also comment that maintaining a cluster is expensive, This is, We will always keep in mind that both servers will have the same applications installed, in the same way and with the same versions, all this to avoid future problems.
