A new Deployment Wizard clarifi es deployment by
specifying prerequisites and providing guidance at every step. Scenario-based deployment
options guide you from absolute zero to a functional system without having to leave the
Deployment Wizard, and new wizards simplify confi guration and reduce confi guration
mistakes. A new Streamlined Certifi cate Wizard provides step-by-step guidance through the
certifi cation process. A single computer running OCS now requires only a single certifi cate
regardless of the number of colocated components, resulting in greatly streamlined certifi cate
management. Deployment has been simplifi ed by eliminating the need for Domain Add.
Adding a server to a pool is much simpler, and a domain controller is no longer required to
be available in the root domain of the forest.
