&lt;P&gt;February 27&amp;nbsp;is a big day.&amp;nbsp; &lt;A class="" href="http://www.microsoft.com/heroeshappenhere/learn-more/default.mspx" target=_blank mce_href="http://www.microsoft.com/heroeshappenhere/learn-more/default.mspx"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Windows Server 2008&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/A&gt; will be officially launching in Los Angeles with Steve Ballmer,&amp;nbsp;Microsoft CEO, kicking off in just a few hours.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In support of this very important technology milestone as well as the &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;A class="" href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsvista/bb738089.aspx" target=_blank mce_href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsvista/bb738089.aspx"&gt;Windows Vista SP1&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; release, the Microsoft Solution Accelerators Team has &lt;STRONG&gt;just released&lt;/STRONG&gt; the third-generation of the agent-less infrastructure assessment platform called &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;A class="" href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb977556.aspx?SA_CE=VIR-MAP-BLOG-MAPTEAMBLOG-2008-02-27" target=_blank mce_href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb977556.aspx?SA_CE=VIR-MAP-BLOG-MAPTEAMBLOG-2008-02-27"&gt;Microsoft Assessment and Planning Solution Accelerator 3.0&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; (or simply MAP).&amp;nbsp; Through the use of remote WMI calls and secure inventory engines, the MAP tool enables you to quickly inventory a wide variety of networks (AD-managed, IP ranges, and workgroups),&amp;nbsp;securely assess IT environments of servers, desktops, applications and devices, and auto-generate specific and actionable reports and proposal documents in a matter of hours.&lt;/P&gt;
