Rendering Web Hosting Futile in Windows Server 2008
Prologue
About 4-5 days ago, me and Cornel thought it would be a good idea to try out Windows Server 2008 beta 3 and while at it, install Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation Server (TFS 2008) beta 2. This is supposed to be 99% feature complete and the last version before RTM. Sounds promising. The next 2 days were spent obtaining the install kits for Windows Server 2008 beta 3, TFS 2008 and Visual Studio Team Suite 2008 beta 2. Before proceeding any further, I have to mention that I am not a sysadmin, but Ihave previously managed to install TFS 2005 with no difficulties.
Step 1: Installing Win Server 2008
After obtaining the installation kits and the product key (for Windows Server 2008) from the Microsoft website, the installation process was straightforward: burn image to DVD, backup one partition of the hard drive, format said partition, reboot from installation DVD, enter product key, choose destination and finally, wait for about 30 minutes until Windows installs. I have to acknowledge Microsoft's new achievements in making the installation time shorter.
Hello world! (V2)
I guess I am just starting to become a person since I just started my first blog. I created this blog at the recommendation of Tudor Salomie and Tudor Vlad. My main topics on this blog will be technology and programming.
Here are a few things to know about me: MANY people call me Cretz (all my friends, professors I have research projects with, my boss, etc.) even though my name is Ioan (John in English). I am a student in Computer Science at the Technical University of Cluj Napoca, Romania, expecting to graduate in 2009. I currently work at a company that develops solutions for securities firms based on Microsoft technology. My main interests are technology, 3D art and music (more on what kind of music I enjoy you will find in the about page).
This concludes my introductory statement and I hope to come back soon with another post.
PS. The post is in V2 because I previously had a blog on www.wordpress.com but I switched to a hosted blog, but could not manage to import the old blog.
