Look at Johan's hydration kit, and honestly I'd use the free hyper-v edition. Using the free edition you avoid rebuilding your hosts every 180 days.

I'm rebuilding the CM2012 server every 180 days anyways, doing the AD stuff with scripts should only take me 30 minutes or so.

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.
