Week 2 discussion
Dq1
Upgrading from Server 2008 to Server 2012 What upgrade options exist for moving from
Server 2008 (R2) to Server 2012? What
limitations or caveats should be considered when upgrading? Would you typically
recommend a clean install or an in-place upgrade when attempting to move a
service from Server 2008 to 2012, and why?
Dq2
Server Core
Describe a scenario in which you’d use Server Core,
including a description of the services that you might install on the server,
and the advantages and disadvantages of using Server Core.
Dq3
Hyper-V Deployment
Consider a data center heavily built on Hyper-V (or VMware)
and the ability to clone virtual machines from template VMs or from other
existing VMs. For a highly virtualized
data center, how does this change the deployment options available from
traditional data centers? Is there any
benefit or need in using some of the traditional deployment options (e.g., disk
imaging using software like Ghost, deploying operating systems using Windows
Deployment Services and the Windows Automated Installation Kit or Microsoft
Deployment Toolkit)?
