Came perfectly timed yesterday, i sat here looking at my WDS server thinking "damnit i need to rebuild this" so i've jumped in head first on server 2012 for WDS I'll probably regret it, but luckily it's for the least important server so it's a good learning chance

[teejay]

I wasn't going to touch 2012, but proper support for virtualising domain controllers means it's now on my plans:)

[Gatt]

Yeah may have a play with it tonight - though its only going in as a test member server for now!

I'm sure I downloaded the full 2012 from MVLS about a week ago, even burnt it to DVD.

yeah its been on MSVLS for over a week probably nearer two ive got one Virtual 2012 Print server already and a physical server running Hyper-v

To be fair it was difficult to find and wasn't advertised...

There is an en-GB language pack, but you need to download the separate language pack ISO to install it.

SBS is now Essentials I think I read somewhere?

 

So if I want to use enterprise-esque features from now on (failover clustering etc) its Datacenter all the way now? or have they moved some of the eneteprise features into Standard?

[k-strider]

my understanding is the only difference between data center and standard is around visualization rights 2 guests with standard and unlimited with data center. otherwise standard would do everything else.
