4 Slide 3 Standard Fundatin All rles and features available within Windws Server 2012 Supprts up t 64 sckets Supprts up t 4 TB f memry Includes 2 virtual machine licenses Data Center All rles and features available n Windws Server 2012 Supprts up t 64 scket Supprts up t 640 prcessr cres Supprts 4 TB f RAM Unlimited virtual machine that licenses fr any virtual machine run n the same hardware Allws a maximum f 15 users Supprts 1 prcessr cre Supprts up t 32 GB RAM Includes limited server rles Essentials Equivalent t small business server Des NOT supprt the fllwing rles: Hyper-V server Failver Clustering server Server Cre Remte Desktp Services server Up t 25 users Supprts up t 50 devices Supprts 2 prcessr cres Supprts 64 GB f RAM Must be a rt server in the dmain

5 Slide 4 Windws Server 2012 Data Center vs. Windws Server 2012 Standard The chice between these 2 versins is based n virtualizatin requirements Windws Server 2012 Essentials Best fr crpratins with: Less than 25 users N virtualizatin requirements N need fr Server Cre Windws Server 2012 Fundatin Best fr the smallest rganizatins: N active directry requirements Fewer than 15 users Offered thrugh OEM prgrams

6 Slide 5 Cmpnent Prcessr Architecture Prcessr Speed Memry Hard Disk Space Requirement X GHz 512 MB 32 GB

7 Slide 6 Windws Server 2003 X64 Windws Server 2008 SP2 Windws Server 2008 R2 Same prcessr architecture required Same r higher Editin

8 Slide 7 Upgrades preserve file settings and applicatins frm the riginal server An upgrade is dne t keep these items Start yur upgrade by running the setup.exe Existing servers must meet hardware requirements Sftware must supprt in-place upgrade Yu need t keep existing rles and features in settings

9 Slide 8 Migrate frm X86 r X64 versin f Windws Server Windws Server Migratin Tls feature is available Use when migrating frm an x86 versin Windws Server 2003 Windws Server 2003 R2 Windws Server 2008 Windws Server 2008 R2 Sftware prduct migratin is dne in a separate envirnment Server rles, features and settings migratins are dne in a separate envirnment Best when yu re new deplyment des nt affect current IT infrastructure

54 Review Questins: 1. True r False: When chsing the apprpriate Windws Server 2012 editin, the number f users that cnnect t the server is usually the first cnsideratin. A. True B. False 2. True r False: Windws Server 2012 Essentials is best fr crpratins with under 50 users. A. True B. False 3. True r False: Windws Server 2012 needs a minimum f 512 MB f memry t run. A. True B. False 4. In rder t upgrade Windws Server 2012, which f the fllwing wuld yu run? A. Setup.exe B. Setup.MSI C. Upgrade.exe D. WinNTup.exe 5. Which f the fllwing Windws Server versins are supprted with the server migratin tls? A. Windws Server 2003 B. Windws Server 2003 R2 C. Windws Server 2008 D. All f the abve 6. True r False: The WSUS rle cannt be migrated nt the Server 2012 platfrm. A. True B. False 7. True r False: The MAP tlkit allws yu t d an IT infrastructure inventry. A. True B. False

55 8. True r False: When yu re installing Windws Server 2012, yu have a 30 day grace perid t enter in yur license key. A. True B. False 9. True r False: The vlume activatin management tl will generate license reprts, as well as manage clients and server activatin. A. True B. False 10. Hw many Hyper-V licenses cme with Windws Server 2012 Standard editin? A. 1 B. 2 C. 4 D. 8

56 Answer Key: 1. A True. Because many editins limit the number f users that can be cnnected, this is typically ne f the first cnsideratins. 2. B False. Windws Server 2012 Essentials is best fr less than 25 users. 3. A True. Althugh nt recmmended, yu can run Windws Server 2012 with a minimum f 512 MB f memry. 4. A Setup.exe is used, whether ding a clean install r upgrade. 5. D Yu can use the migratin tls when migrating frm any x86 versin, 2003, 2003 R2, 2008 and abve. 6. B False. The WSUS rle can be migrated, as well as many ther rles like Print and Dcument Services, Hyper-V, DFS Rle Services, and the Netwrk Plicy Server. 7. A True. The MAP tlkit allws yu t d an IT infrastructure inventry, as well as supply yu with many reprts fr planning. 8. B False. There is n lnger a grace perid, every cpy must be licensed and activated during installatin. 9. A True. The vlume activatin management tl des generate license reprts, as well as manage activatins. It is best t be used n a netwrk that is nt directly cnnected t the Internet. 10. B Windws Server 2012 Standard cmes with 2 virtual machine licenses.
