Architectural Enhancements
• The RMS is GONE • But there is an RMS Emulator Role
• Increased scalability • Decreased memory requirements on the
Management Servers (Configuration Service stores Config data in the database instead of memory)
Architectural Enhancements
• Management Servers can now be in POOLS
• Almost like a FSMO role in AD • Pools distribute workload among multiple MS’ • Such as: Group Calculation, Availability, Distributed
Monitor Health Rollup, DB Grooming, Notification
Architectural Enhancements
