Back in the day you could get around certain trials (I won't mention any here) by just changing your system clock back a month or so. Ah, how far software has come.

Snapshot my setup with 10 days left and keep reverting. I realize that's not what you're suggesting, just thought it'd be funny to do.

I've got a question here. How does ConfigMan keep track of the ticking time? Might it be possible to have a working SCCM & SQL configuration snapshotted and restore it when the time runs out? I'm sure there is a reason this won't work, but I've not looked into it.

It feels like I'm going into someone elses environment and using their stuff, instead of it being my own environment. Don't get me wrong, I see the value of it. It's a great project, but not it's not for me.

Using the free edition you avoid rebuilding your hosts every 180 days.

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.
