Still waiting for the update to the Base Config docs about internet access for the CorpNet Segments.

Good question. One thing you do, which you bring up, is that you can rearm the VMs every month. If you have MSDN, you can activate the Base Configuration and the VMs that participate in any key scenarios. But if you just activate the Base Configuration, you're in good shape in terms of not having to "start from scratch" for all of your lab work. They may be other methods, and I'd be glad to hear them from other's in the community, but these are things I've done. Thanks! -Tom

Tom,

One question I have for the test lab guides is how to deal with product activation for Windows 7 and Server 2008, etc? I see the base config being used over and over again, and I do not want to have to rebuild it or reset the clock every few months because the evaluation period has run out.

With that I must say I love just reading these, and I plan to have these available in my Lab Manager environment to check out as needed.

Thanks,

Mark
