Over the past month I managed to upgrade our KMS server, so we can now license both Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 7.

Though I spent most of the month working on various issues/mini projects for the ECS team.  Ending the month with building the newly purchased em05, and rebuilding em04 so that it could utilize the additional RAM that was purchased… Gotta hate it when you build a server with 32 GB and only install Standard, then decided  you need more RAM.  Anyway, two mailbox servers down, eight or so go.

I spent quite a bit of time after hours setting up lab environment at the house, so that I can both work on my 2008 R2 skills, and to assist automating our build process.  So far I’ve gotten my 2008 R2 AD setup, and Windows Deployment services installed and configured.  Hopefully next month I can test doing some OS pushes, and then investigate incorporating our default settings, firewall rules, application installs etc, into an automated package.
