        It's clearly mentioned in the linked article.

          If you "assign" an appropriate Windows Server license to it, you can.

            Sure, but then the "free" doesn't apply 🙂

              Yes it is. They are really clear on this. But the pointer here is misleading imho.

                Should we copy the whole article there?

                  @kooler Hmmm, my sarcasm detector may be faulty 😉 so just in case, my 2 cents, nah, no need to duplicate published content in my opinion. People can click the link and get what they need.

                    Just adding "~for test~" or similar in the title would benefit.

                    The article's intro was already here in the post , couple of more words were not overwealming.

                    As said you are really accurate in the article, just this time you have missed to be the same in marketing your blog here.

                    Just this.

                      You can test Microsoft server operating systems for 180 days if I remember correctly. No need to test SMB shares with Hyper-V

                          It may have made sense to spin up Hyper-V in the past because a full standard server install takes much longer, but with the 2016 core server option, I'm sure that's just as fast, if not faster, to install.

                            Not sure how it could be faster, the core install shouldn't include Hyper-V role, so you'd have to add that, where the install of Hyper-V directly puts everything in at one time, with really no options during install.

                              But that was never the issue. The issue is and has always been licensing incumbrance, which doesn't change with core.

                                    OK - but in this case is that really needed? Unless you're using this Hyper-V install as a storage repo for VM HDDs, right?

                                      Windows SMB servers have a lot of advantages. There isn't just one use case for it.

                                          That's actually a good question - what is the case for doing this in the first place? I assumed it was to use as a ISO storage place, but I could be mistaken.

                                            It's just a generic "building a file server" as far as I know. So any number of potential use cases.
