The three categories of tasks listed in the Initial Configuration Tasks interface are Provide Computer Information, Update This Server, and Customize This Server. 1b.The six selections available when I open up the Server Manager Console are: Roles, Features, Diagnostics, Configuration, and Storage. 1c. When I log into the Server Core computer I see a command prompt. I used the command prompt to set up the initial settings. 2. I really felt comfortable using the Windows Server 2008 software. I work at a computer repair shop and work with windows machines all day. I think Windows Server software is easier to use than the Linux Server Software that is out there. I am excited about playing around with the Windows Server Software. I already have a home server setup that is based on Fedora. I had some problems with the virtual labs but nothing major. I had to type oobe.exe in the command prompt to get the ICT to come up. Also the loading the lab window stayed on for the last part of Exercise 4. I did like the ability to set up multiple servers in one place. Thank you for working on Lab. I am providing here the answers as well.
