Windows Server System Reference Architecture (WSSRA)

Ever wanted everything that you need to get a Windows Server in various roles. I am taking about templates and blueprints, guides, tools, documents for taking a server deployments from design, lab testing to deployment to management ? Welcome to WSSRA.

Overview (from TechNet)
Windows Server System Reference Architecture is a technology architecture that has been rigorously tested and proven in a partnered lab environment to provide exceptional planning and implementation guidance that addresses fundamental infrastructure issues such as availability, security, scalability, and manageability of the platform.

WSSRA consists of the following downloadable packages:
Overview Documents
Architecture Blueprints
Implementation Guides
Deployment Toolkit

The Overview Documents provide the supporting information that will aid the understanding of the documentation set and ensure its most effective use within IT infrastructure. The documents included in this download package are as follows:
