Im currently training in windows 2008 server just started and I have two computers at home that I would like to phyiscally connect this two computers to my windows server computer,t so I can have a home domain to practice setting up windows 7 to windows 2008.

 

what is the best way to connect the computers to the server e.g. switches, cross over cables as Im wanting setup a lab at home to practice such things as active directory, and group policy etc.

 

Any help would be greatly apperciated cheers

Hi, my suggestion is:

 

2 pc: install XenServer (free version) so you can have up to 5 VMs running on it (more tests)

use a switch to connect everything together.
