How to install Windows 2012 Server.

Windows 2012, the current and latest release which I believe based on the look and feel will became the successor of windows 2008 R2 family .instead on click may be we are moving towards “touch or poke like mobile” ( if you have a touch screen monitor). However so far I have noticed that the performance and features are bundled to aim a strong throttle in server OS industries. Microsoft drop the traditional way for Creating a Domain AD and, role and features etc. like many, changes in functions and tools are introduced for marketing and technical existence. We will new discuss functionality and tools in due course.

Now the scope I have limited in to the basic installation of Windows 2012.

Famous Loading screen after hit F12 or press any key to boot from CD… (Sorry, now DVD!!!)

Select your language and keyboard layout.

Two options, either repair or install now

Select the OS editions

Accept license terms

This traditional, select upgrade or custom for upgrading and fresh installation respectively

Format the volume, basically disc management. We can do this latter also

Copying files and installing

This will be final stage of installation.

Login screen

Finally… Login prompt

This will be the server manager.

We will explore the feature and other management, functions in the coming posts
