First published on TECHNET on May 21, 2011
We have a new blog post out that explains the demo setup used in the TechEd 2011 presentation about Windows Server 2008 R2 File Services Consolidation.

In the post, you get step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce the environment used in the presentation's demo. This is a great way to experiment with a fairly large set of Microsoft technologies, including:

• Windows Server 2008 R2
• Hyper-V
• Networking
• Domain Name Services (DNS)
• Active Directory Domain Services (AD-DS)
• iSCSI Software Target 3.3
• iSCSI Initiator
• File Server (SMB2)
• Failover Clustering (WSFC)
• SQL Server 2008 R2

This is a long post with dozens of screenshots and it packs a lot of information. Check it out at
