Windows Server Enterprise Edition VHD

Windows Server editions are specialized operating systems that are designed to run on server computers so as to increase the productivity and efficiency of the business.

Windows Server Enterprise Edition VHD is a fully configured virtual hard disk (VHD) that is meant to help users assess all the features and functions of Windows Server 2003, 2008 or 2008 R2, depending on the selected package.

Due to Windows Server Enterprise Edition VHD, one can evaluate the way either of these platforms can interact with connected networks and software solutions, as well as the related Web services.

Regardless of the Windows Server edition one goes for, they will be able to simplify the management of branch servers, as well as optimize access management for all connected clients. The total storage costs can also be reduced by switching the base OS to Windows Server.

Nonetheless, it needs to be mentioned that in order to access the VHD and explore its functions, users first need to make sure they are running an operating system that can recognize and run virtual hard disks.

Also, some Windows Server editions, such as 2008 R2, also require Hyper-V to be installed on the host machine, which in turn can only be run on Windows Server 2008 (x64 version) or Windows Server 2008 R2.

It also needs to be mentioned that the virtual images do not feature with any antivirus products, so it is best not to connect them to the network until a security application has been set in place.

Windows Server Enterprise Edition VHD can come in handy to all business owners and managers who want to evaluate the feature-set of Windows Server editions before deciding it they want to install such an OS on their server computers.
