Volume Licensing 2.0 for Vista and Windows Server 2008

Tags: Volume Licensing

Here is some links on Volume Licensing 2.0.  If you are going to implement Windows Server 2008 into your environment.  Plan on spending a couple of days understanding the concepts.  Note, the KMS stuff is built into Windows Server 2008, so you don't have to add it like you did in Windows Server 2003.
