Hello,
I have the following problem. I have a server from the german STRATO AG hosting company, actually running WS WE 2008.
Now, because I want to try the full Windows Server 2008 (I think its called the Standard version) i have the following problem:
I only have remote desktop acces to the server and an extra remote console (via putty) to access the cmd shell if I have no remote desktop acces connection(for example if i deactivate it or made some other mistake)
So my question is how can I install the new windows server 2008 edition to test it?
My idea was, because I have 2 hard drives, move the setup files to hdd 2 and start the setup from remote desktop and overwrite hdd 1, but when I start the setup.exe the windows setup screen appears with an error message something like "Windows Server Setup gets an error - please restart the Setup" but nothing works.
Hope to get some help.
Probably there is another way, like creating an unattended setup and add entries to the bootloader or something else, so that when i reboot the server the setup starts and installs automatically, so that I can logon per remote desktop after a while.
Thank you very much,
Venorm
