SBS 2008 - views on virtualization
|
From: Jim on 7 Jul 2010 16:37 What's the word on the street regards virtualization ? Hyper V ? What's the recommended way to go about this ? I'm reading some stuff in TechNet but also reading conflicting views elsewhere. Basically want to use the second server on SBS 2008 Premium as a Terminal Server. Can this all be done on the one box ? And if it's only SBS 2008 Standard and one purchases another copy of Windows Server 2008 can this still be done ?
From: Cris Hanna [SBS - MVP] on 7 Jul 2010 18:08 If you have SBS 2008 Premium, you use the second server DVD to install base server with Hyper V, then you install SBS and Second Server as virtualized guests -- Cris Hanna [SBS - MVP] (since 1997) Co-Contributor, Windows Small Business Server 2008 Unleashed http://www.amazon.com/Windows-Small-Business-Server-Unleashed/dp/0672329573/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1217269967&sr=8-1 Owner, CPU Services, Belleville, IL A Microsoft Registered Partner ------------------------------------ MVPs do not work for Microsoft Please do not submit questions directly to me.

From: Charlie Russel - MVP on 7 Jul 2010 20:18 Yes, you can do this. Lots of us are. Virtualization isn't a panacea, but it can be quite a cost effective way to run SBS Premium. As Cris says, you use the Windows Server 2008 RTM copy of the second server as your host, and then install SBS and the SBS 2nd Server as child (guest) VMs. The host does not need to be joined to the domain (a special exemption from the normal SBS rule for licensing), but it should have NO additional roles installed beyond Hyper-V. Using that second server as a Terminal Server is a great solution for most SBS networks. I leverage TS RemoteApps a lot here to simplify my management of, and hardware requirements for, client PCs. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/russel "Jim" <jim(a)dontwantspam.com> wrote in message news:i12ohn$f0u$1(a)energise.enta.net... > What's the word on the street regards virtualization ? > > Hyper V ? > > What's the recommended way to go about this ? > > I'm reading some stuff in TechNet but also reading conflicting views > elsewhere. > > Basically want to use the second server on SBS 2008 Premium as a Terminal > Server. > > Can this all be done on the one box ? > > And if it's only SBS 2008 Standard and one purchases another copy of > Windows Server 2008 can this still be done ? > > > > >

From: Jim on 8 Jul 2010 16:22 Thanks guys. So if I've got say a HP DL380 G6 with say 32GB RAM then this would be a good platform yes ? Is the licensing OK about using the second server OS twice ? Or does it not count if you are only installing the HyperV ?
