I finally tracked down a link to the mother load of best-practice deployment information made available by Microsoft’s internal IT team (MSIT). 

I’ve worked with the MSIT folks – particularly in corporate security – for many years and can tell you that they are in a unique position: they deploy and support nearly every major technology that Microsoft creates, and they do it before those products are even stable enough to sell to the public. At Microsoft this practice is called “eating your own dogfood”.

Thus, while managing and debugging those internal deployments, MSIT develops tremendous expertise which is of great value to Microsoft’s customers. That expertise is shared in the form of whitepapers, solutions, and best practices. These are available via IT Showcase.
