Changes

If you do not already have access to the Windows Server 2008 installation media this can be downloaded from the Microsoft web site. Downloads are available for the Standard, Enterprise and Web editions of the operating system (the Datacenter Edition can only be acquired with specific systems direct from hardware vendors). For detailed information on the features provided with each edition refer to the [[Windows Server 2008 Editions and System Requirements]] chapter of this book. All dowloadable downloadable editions can be run either without a key (i.e in evaluation mode) or with a key (if a license has already been purchased). The evaluation period lasts for 90 days but may be extended twice up to a total of 270 days.
