The complexity of building and managing data center environments has grown dramatically over the last few years.
System administrators are now responsible for managing hundreds, if not thousands, of servers. With the rapid adoption of Web services - either inside the corporate firewall or on a public Web site - the number of servers in the average data center will only continue to grow. As a result of this expansion, routine administrative tasks that were relatively simple to accomplish in a single or small multi-server environment have become unmanageable when multiplied across such a large number of servers.
Adding new users, updating directory entries, and provisioning application services across these servers are all manual administration tasks that do not scale. Administrators need to find a way to both automate these tasks and, in some cases, delegate them to their customers to self-administer. Building a solution with the Microsoft Provisioning System is the answer.
