We have a new blog post out that explains the demo setup used in the TechEd 2011 presentation about Windows Server 2008 R2 File Services Consolidation.
In the post, you get step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce the environment used in the presentation's demo. This is a great way to experiment with a fairly large set of Microsoft technologies, including:
- Windows Server 2008 R2
- Hyper-V
- Networking
- Domain Name Services (DNS)
- Active Directory Domain Services (AD-DS)
- iSCSI Software Target 3.3
- iSCSI Initiator
- File Server (SMB2)
- Failover Clustering (WSFC)
- SQL Server 2008 R2
This is a long post with dozens of screenshots and it packs a lot of information. Check it out at
