Finally feeling back to 100% again after that surgery. I'm suprised, because it took a lot out of me and was only a 2 hour surgery.
Back "at work" working from home this week since Docs still don't really want me in a car.
Congrats!

Things have changed quite a bit... might be learning something for nothing if you do plan to deploy this on Server 2012R2.

I was following this guide.

Well, Windows 7 is pretty good for production use.
As you know, users get to used to it. -
@Dashrender We're migrating this year from 8 to 12, it's not a small task. Only reason we're doing it is because we got a smoking deal on licensing from techsoup!

We're not talking about migrating, Joy is talking about deploying a new server to use for WSUS. Since this is a new server, I'm just wondering why she isn't doing it on Server 2012r2 instead of Server 2008.

@Dashrender I deployed an 8 this week because of licensing. Unless you're 12 on the hypervisor the licencing gets really screwball (which is why we bought datacenter(and the cause of our issues) )

Hmm, I checked our list of licenses and I found out we have a lot of Windows2012 license.
Forgive me but, may I ask what's the difference on Win Server 2008 and Win Server 2012 when deploying WSUS?
Since I will do this for the first time. -

I know it's wrong, but I put datacenter 12 as the hypervisor so I could just have at it. This is only a test environment, of course, but even on a T3500 desktop it runs pretty well. No license worries, though....

Nothing really wrong with it in my opinion. Installing it as core+gui for initial setup and then backing it down to core only after the hyper-v setup is done is still a solid hyper-visor.

Ya know, I never thought to put it back to just core... but I use the host machine for stuff too. Q4 is when we get new hardware... dammit.

That part is the wrong part. You are using DC, just spin up another Windows VM.

Just got back from our first load to the storage unit. Managed to get away with a little 5x5 unit for just $22/mo. Not too bad.
