I have decided to end my time in world of warcraft!
This may come as a shock to some people but I have had a good 3 years in the game and now its time for me to move on!

Please feel free to follow my new activities on my blog

So long, goodbye and thanks for all the fish!

Network Time

Brett — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 18:10:10 +0000

I have decided to re-implement my network here at home.

Going to install a REAL dc using windows 2008 Server (as the box I will be using I think is a 32bit only machine)

My only issue is that the machine only has a CD drive and windows 2008 is DVD only! So to install this I will need a WDS server, of cause the easier option is to put a dvd drive in the machine but where is the fun in that?

[edit]

ARGHH

Just tried to add the WDS role to the Server 2008 box I have virtually… guess what to use WDS you have to be a member of a domain!…

chicken meet egg

Looks like I don’t get the fun way to install the DC for the WDS server.. mmm time to find a dvd drive
