Re: Use server 2008 as Desktop OS

 

Hello Tem,

 

Why will you spend a lot of money for a Server operating system to use it

as a Desktop? It is made for a lot of difference SERVER operations, NOT for

browsing and writing or playing games. Or do you also buy a Lamborghini for

Stockcar races?

 

Best regards

Click On Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, Server Manager, Add

Features, And Then Add A Check Mark To Desktop Experience, And Then Click On

The Next Button (Warning: A Reboot Will Be Required, So Save All Your Work

And Close Any Open Programs Before You Attempt To Install Desktop

Experience), After The Reboot is Completed, The Installation Will Resume

Where It Left Off, And You Should Receive A Installed Successfully Message.

Now Open Up The Programs Menu (All Programs If You Are Using The Newer Start

Menu), And You Will Notice That The Following Has Been Installed on Your

Server Operating System That Is Not Included In The Default Install Package:

Windows Mail 6.0.6001.18000, Windows Defender 1.0.1600, And Windows Media

Player 11.0.6001.7000.

Besides installing "Desktop experience". You must start "Themes" Services and

configure by "automatic" start. After that you can change windows clasic

theme for windows vista theme and usage windows 2008 with windows vista

experience.
