You'll need to register for the download - you can either get the VHD or the ISO

Finally got the iso but now can't get it installed either on virtual box or vmware server - keep getting an error message saying that the cpu is not 64 bit or something along those lines - any tips ?

Tends to happen if you're installing a 64bit version of the OS (Guest) on a host which doesn't have virtualization support enabled/available. (Check the BIOS if this could be the case)

either on virtual box or vmware server - how do I enable this option / feature or is this down to the bios or what exactly ?

VT must be on in the bios....

Also, not a true statement: 64bit guests require 64bit hosts.

Well, yes and no :-)

The CPU must be 64 bit capable (eg Core 2 Duo) and you need the BIOS support enabling but you can run a 64 bit guest OS on a 32 bit host OS (eg Windows XP 32 bit)

the power edge that has it on etc is not connected to the network because it does not conform to Ricoh standards as AV is out of date and its not joined to the domain etc etc etc

Got it working now on vmware server but stuck on DNS - I know I can use nslookup to test forward reverse lookups ie hostname to ip address and visa versa and found guides on google etc but still a bit stuck - if anyone can point me to what I need to post back so as to give you a better idea of what I need to change / configure etc then let me know and I can post back event viewer or other info if needed

Thanks
