Those of you in the Windows Server 2008 beta should now have access to the June CTP. Besides the slew of bug fixes across all builds you should also find that server core build now offers IIS.
More info available at the Windows Server Blog
There are a couple of other new-ish things worth a mention at this point that haven't had much coverage up until now. First up is the new Secure Sockets Tunnelling Protocol (SSTP), which is an SSL-over-HTTP solution that solves the problem of trying to create a VPN connection where NAT, firewalls or proxies might get in the way. I bring it up now because the Cable Guy has a great article on SSTP in the June 2007 issue of TechNet magazine that explains how it works. Second up is the Windows Server 2008 learning portal. This is a great resource for all your Windows Server 2008 learning needs, with free e-learning, free ebook chapters, book discounts, classroom training offers, and news on upcoming certification exams. We know that you have questions on Windows Server 2008 (lots of questions!) because we see them on our discussion forums and during our webcasts (keep 'em coming!) so we want to make sure you can get the answers you are looking for. Let us know if there's anything else we do to help
