The Essential Business Server Speedrun

OK, so speed when installing EBS is kind of a relative term, given the size of the solution. But maybe these can help you shave a couple of hours.

With the number of times I’ve installed and re-installed the various builds of Essential Business Server over the last year, I’ve compiled a list of install notes and various shortcuts that have shaved my install time considerably.

All of these have been used for a lab environment only, inside Hyper-V. Installing EBS in a production environment may require different tactics. Here’s the initial list of topics, each of which will get its own post…

  • Configuring Virtual Networking for EBS
  • Configuring Virtual Machines for EBS
  • Time Synchronization in Hyper-V
  • EBS Core Operating System Installation
  • Getting EBS Planning Data Into Hyper-V
  • EBS Server Installation
  • Avoiding EBS Installation Errors
  • Testing EBS Licensing

FYI: I expect this list to grow over time.
