Although win2008 can be said to be a major upgrade since Win2003, and has become more and more people use the server system, but win2008 experience of the operator is rotten, first of all, since you and Win7 form a winxp~win2003 system, It's not clear why the UI is using Windows Classic, not Windows Basic. Windows Classic under the win2008~win7 system, the Close button in the upper right corner is too small to be very uncomfortable to operate. At the same time, win2008 password if incredibly more and more BT, to what size and the number of the existence, it is annoying. But these things can be changed.

first, replace the desktop theme

This originally in Win7 even just learn the computer children will do, right button-> personalized things, in win2008 incredibly complex. Since the server operating system is installed, features and roles are generally manually added by default, so you need to add topics yourself.

1, open the-> Control Panel-> programs and features-> turn on or off Windows features, and then enter the Server Manager (generally on the desktop icon directly, no can be found in the beginning of the-> management tools). Select feature in the left box of Server Manager and click Add Feature.


In the pop-up dialog box, find the bottom "desktop experience" and follow the steps to install it.


When you add a desktop experience, you are asked to add the Remote Desktop Session host and Remote Desktop Licensing services to this Remote Desktop service.


Then after all, my win2008 is a harmonious version ah, so here's the network level of authentication, select "Do not need to use Network Level Authentication"

The next "Client Checkup" key is to check the desktop elements, the remaining two of their own according to the need to tick.


2, a annoying reboot and reconfiguration, you also need to manually enter your username and password to be able to login again, in a moment we will also be the user name, password login also canceled. In theory, you should log on to the Administrator account when you set up the administrator account.


3. After reboot, the themes service needs to be started. Win+r or on the Start menu, open "Run ...", enter services.msc, or in Server Manager, select-Configure-service, double-click to enter the control interface, set up automatically with the system for themes service, and then stop to start. (The system defaults to stop).


4, Next, check if the role has been added Remote Desktop Services, still in the Server Manager-role-Add role-Remote Desktop services, if not installed, follow the prompts to install, this operation requires a reboot. If you've already added them, that's fine.


5, in the Server Manager-> role-> Remote Desktop Services->rd Session Host configuration-> find the middle of the connection, and then the right key properties, select client settings, will limit the maximum color depth hook off. Reboot the server and you will find that the current Aero theme is ready to use.


6, however, this is not finished, you will find that the restart win2008 also in the lower right corner of the Remote Desktop licensing mode warning, which requires us to further set up, or 120 days later this feature is disabled again, win2008 is so, for the so-called security makes very troublesome. Continue with the Server Manager-> role-> Remote Desktop Services->RD Session Host configuration, double-click "Restrict each user to only one session," and then cancel the check out.


Then double-click the "Remote Desktop licensing mode" below, set to "Per Device", of course, if you need to configure "multiuser" to use, then set to "per user", I have only one of my own administrator, a "Per Device", not so annoying.


7, open the Administrative Tools-> Remote Desktop Services->RD Authorization Manager. Since our RD License server has not been activated, the authorization server icon displays a red X in the lower-right corner, right-click the authorized server-> activate the server.


As a harmonious version of the win2008, connect the way to choose "Automatic connection", if you are the official version of the win2008, select the "Web" to activate on the line.

The Harmony version chooses "The Automatic link" to be connected with certain server, lets the time walk for a while, does not have to fear will lose the harmonious version the identity.


Then here do not finish not to let the next class, casually write the next step directly. After that, you can go directly to the next step until the activation is complete. Anyway, we are the harmonious version ~


Then prompts "Successful activation", you do not have to continue "next", Start what "license", directly cancel.

8, then we found that the RD authorization server has been activated, the icon also changed from red X to green √, where the configuration and activation of Remote Desktop Services is complete, and then continue to add the certificate we just set up in the Server Manager-> role-> Remote Desktop Services->rd Session Host configuration. This annoying win2008 will never play again. Remote Desktop warning. Our win2008 theme has also been officially completed.

second, the cancellation win2008 password login

The next win2008 affect our work is not finished, I do not want to login every time I have to enter a small number of uppercase and lowercase digits have a password. Look at others win2003, directly can log in, not good. So we have to cancel the password login.

1, Start menu-> management tools-> Local Security policy-> the password policy under the account policy double click "Password must meet complexity requirements", disable this option.

Set the maximum password age limit to 999 days at the same time.


2, and then in the Control Panel-> user account-> "Add or Remove user accounts", into the administrator, delete our installation win2008, forced to set the super complex even their own can not remember the password on the line.

In the future can be logged in win2008 time, do not enter the password can be happy to log in ~

Win2008 really tired of being bored to death.
