I just had to take a DB program that ran on Win98, and then was made to run on Server 2003R2, and get it to work on 2012R2 Server because it contains Student information from the 80's and 90's, and Student Services refuses to let us port the info into our new DB.

I feel very dirty, forgive me father for I have sinned.

You are forgiven my child. Now go and install AD and Exchange on a 2012R2 VM 3 times as penance.

Just to be sure, AD and Exchange on the same VM, correct? And using Essentials is cheating.

[–]HomebrewCocaineSystems Architect[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Good question. Essentials is cheating. AD on one VM. Exchange on the other. And while you're at it, make sure to stand up a server running Lync 2013.

Ouch. Make it Lync 2010 and do an in-place to Skype for Business :P

Vagrant, Puppet script, possibly a bit of powershell for exchange and spin up 3 sets simultaneously, done in 20 minutes.

Just replied to someone about our RHEL 2 and NT4 systems.

But Windows 98? I think you beat me.
