I've decided I need to blow away Vista on my file server. It's been doing some screwy things, recently.
I thought I would give Server 2008 a try, especially as I have a TechNet subscription to take advantage of.
I haven't installed a server OS since NT Server 4.01 (or something like that) back in the day. Are there any good quick guides out there for some simple setup options? It's really just going to be a file server, although I guess I really should make it a domain and have my systems log into it properly. At least that would make setting up mapped drives a lot easier
It will also be used for Squeezebox Server and MediaPortals TVServer, the former works fine on 2K8, the latter will need the Desktop Experience pack and some driver and DLL hacks from Win7 to get working.
The other alternative is to just install Win7, but I fancy a bit of server action to be honest.
