  • Virtual Server 2005 R2 Resource Kit Now on the Shelves!


    Welcome to my blog.

    I am an Architect with MS Consulting Services specializing in Infrastructure Optimization and Virtualization. I am also the co-author of the new Virtual Server 2005 R2 Resource Kit.

    In this blog I will talk about various technology subjects that are my passion and also drive me crazy sometimes.

Getting Wireless LAN on Windows 2008 RC0

If you are like me and primarily use a notebook, then you live by wireless.  If you are also trying to test Windows 2008 RC0 then you might be scratching you head on how you get wireless to work.  Windows 2008 has a new feature called the Wireless LAN Service. Until the feature is installed, wireless will not work.

To install the feature:

1) Go to Server Manager

2) Add a new feature

3) Select to add the Wireless LAN Service

4) Finish the installation

5) Install your WIFI drivers if not automatically detected.

 

For the Windows Server Virtualization testers out there, Wireless is not supported and you will not see a working wireless LAN adapter as a valid network interface to create a virtual network....sorry, but how many real servers do you have with wireless adapters?
