Just a heads up, There was a lot of problems running RSAT (Remote Admin GUI Tools) on Vista when interacting with 2008 R2. Windows 7 quickly became required for 2008 R2. (Windows 7 is client OS of 2008 R2)

Otherwise, rock on.



An excellent point, I'm not opposed to using Windows 7 to work around those problems, or make the lab more homogeneous.

I just want an excuse to use my Vista netbook for a couple of months, even if it's going to cause me problems!


Just letting you know. You could also install one of Windows 2008 R2 servers in GUI mode and use RSAT tools on that to manage the others. Knew plenty of admins who did that.
