Does the new Administration Console use the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) framework?
Windows Small Business Server 2008 does not use an MMC-based management console. It uses a task-based interface that was designed for the small business owner and small business partner who want speed and repeatability. Furthermore, usability studies showed that task-based consoles are easier to understand and do a better job managing common functions on a server. The new Administration Console combines information about your network with context-sensitive tasks that relate to the information. This helps administrators get at-a-glance status and provide the tools needed to respond to the information.
