Lab Setup

For this course

The various servers and Windows 7 workstations used in this course run on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Data Center machine under Hyper-V R2

The Hyper-V R2 server is a Dell PowerEdge 2950 server with 32 GB RAM, 2 x quad core Xeon processors and just under 1 TB of disk space (RAID 5)

Each Globomantics site is connected on a separate network adapter in the Hyper-V R2 server

Each network adapter is connected to an actual firewall and then to my lab/home network

Lab Overview


Lab Setup

For this course

All servers are running Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM
