After the Intel Quad Q6600 server was up and running with Windows Server 2008 x64 Enterprise Edition I decided to install the Windows Server Virtualization role.

 My screenshots I took when installed role. There is a bug in the import of the pictures and they are not sorted.

The following command will join the NET-IIS-01 workload into the Networknet.nl forest domain.

netdom.exe join NET-IIS-01 /domain:Networknet.nl /userD:administrator /passwordD:*

Enter the Administrator password and after the netdom has finished reboot the server with shutdown.exe /r /t5.

View the installed interfaces 

netsh interface ipv4 show interfaces

Configure the fixed IP address, netmask and the default gateway

netsh interface ipv4 set address name=”nr” source=static address=192.168.1.1 mask=255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168.1.254

Configure the DNS server

netsh interface ipv4 add dnsserver name=”nr” address=192.168.1.1 index=1

Windows 2008 Core server does not support GUI and right clicking your computer and use the control panel options to activate the server is not available anymore.  Copy the script below and supply your own license key code. Open notepad from command prompt. Eg notepad license.cmd; paste the the code below with your own key; save the file and run the cmd script.
