Having seen the recent release of Server 2008 R2 i decided to get rid of the 7100 Build (Release Candidate) that i was using and install a fresh copy at home. As with all my testing this will be done through VMWare Workstation at home on my Desktop PC. Installing the OS itself took 2 hours, probably due to windows updates.
Server 2008 R2
The purpose of this is the new features in Server 2008 R2, such as Direct Access (personal interest in this), and all the tech in Exchange 2010, Office 2010 and Sharepoint integration. Hopefully my dummy lab network i have on personaltechsystems.com will be up and running by next week to show off these features.
As for my comment the other day regarding SSD’s. I’m getting 2 Corsair Performance models @ 72GB each. Specs on these are 220/MB -170/MB read/write and a new Sata controller to go with them. I will have more specs once they actually arrive but they should be here early next week.
