I wish to thank my instructors Kari Järvi and Jonita Martelius for their invaluable help and support while writing the study. Last but not least I wish to thank my wife Mia Havia for her endless patience while writing the study. Espoo, May 14, 2013 Tapani Havia Abstract Author(s) Tapani Havia Title Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Number of Pages 153 pages + 10 appendices Date 14th May 2013 Degree Bachelor of Engineering Degree Program Information Technology Specialization option Data Networks Instructor(s) Kari Järvi, Principal Lecturer Microsoft published the latest operating system versions; Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 last autumn. It was the correct time to create a test environment and test how basic services and their centralized remote management could be done nowadays. The purpose was to come up with as versatile an environment as possible which any person interested in the topic could do and continue to the desired direction. The initial plan was to create the test environment in one computer virtually. The environment was done with redundancy of basic services without Network Load Balancing or Failover Clustering features. Finally, the environment within the framework of the study included 11 virtual servers and three virtual workstations. For the host computer’s operating system was chosen the Windows Server 2012 Datacenter edition and the needed hypervisor software was chosen between Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware Workstation 9, the environment was done with VMware.
