MCSA: 2012 iso?

Hey Board. I wanted to see what is the best way to lab Server 2012. I am getting back into the technical game (been a IT supervisor for just under 2 years). Is it still downloading the Evaluation copy and loading up the iso in let's say virtual box? Or is there something easy to get it up?

Yeah Workstation/VirtualBox/ESXi, whatever floats your boat.

The "easier" approach could be downloading the VHD.

You can lab in your own laptop with a quad core cpu and at least 8gb of ram. If you can make an additional investment get an SSD and get a copy of windows 8 pro to use hyper-v client to make your own lab. Good luck!!!

That's the way to go!

Could use a physical box, learn a little Hyper V while you are at it. Else, I use VMWare myself.
