That costs way too much for a simple home lab. Good point on the Server 2012 with Hyper-V. I do enjoy the Powershell.

In a few days, the 180 day trial runs out and I have to recreate the lab. I had a friend who is a vmware guy come over and set up the server to have VSphere on it a few months ago, but now I want to move over to Hyper-V. My question is, Hyper-V Server edition or Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V? The server edition is free, but with me needing to re-do labs every 180 days already, I'm fine with working on the Server 2012 trial edition. I have a Windows 8 Pro laptop, and wanted to just use the Hyper-V client on that to manage everything. Plus I think it'd be nice to learn another technology as I set up my lab... again (4th time now) So, does anyone have an opinion on which version of Win Server I should use? I'm just planning on using Hyper-V to setup a lab with two servers and 30-40 clients (desktops/servers). I'm also going to try and streamline the process this time with a number of scripts. Hopefully I can get the start -> finish process down to 2-3 hours. It's the AD configuration that always gets me! Not the easiest to give the lab access to the outside world. ________________________________ Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail is from a law firm and may be protected by the attorney-client or work product privileges.
