Been using TH-cam for over 10 years, never subscribed ever. Don't think i've ever left a comment. I have subscribed here because this guy has really benefitted and educated me. Thanks mate.
Just a quick note as a small business owner who is responsible for all IT creation, support and issues, your videos are very informative and helpful. I have created a couple of videos myself (non IT related) and feel tremendous gratitude in knowing that I have helped other people out there, and especially saved them money and time. Thank you.
Even though it's an old video, it got me started along the path to find the 'new' Server 2012 Essentials (SBS replacement)... and saved my client a lot of money!! And alerted me to version of server that even my CDW rep didn't tell me about!! Thanks!!
This is a very good video. I do need to point out that, at about 18:30 Eli mentions that you can put servers running Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition into clusters. This is only partially correct. You can have them as members of a Network Load Balancing cluster (NLB), but not the more prevalent Failover Cluster (using Microsoft Clustering Service, or MSCS). This requires, at a minimum, Enterprise Edition. Otherwise, great vid!
Getting more involved in Distributed Sytems and watching and learning from you Eli has been very beneficial. Thanks for the time and effort you put forth in publishing these very useful and straight forward videos. Best, Bilal
thank you so much. I love your videos. you are a life saver. thanks for putting this out for free. I'm really broke and can't afford to buy books and materials on top of my server costs. thanks so much.
Oh Datacenter and Enterprise are very accessible. MS used to provide the images of 2008R2 and 7 via a third party until a couple years or so ago. Mirrors of these ISOs still exist in a few places, and since the hashes are well known the chances of infection are by far orders of magnitude less than minimal. The only remaining step is finding a certain KMS "toolkit" I won't refer to by name that will allow you to do activation re-armings (which is also allowed with slmgr.vbs) all the way up to actually running KMS client/server emulators to accomplish KMS activation. 2008 R2 will always have a special place in my heart, as the last UNIX-certified Windows (with MS Interix/SUA, or Services for UNIX-based Applications).
Hi Eli.. I just really like yor videos.. i'm sitting at school and learning from you everyday.. I hope one day you will teach MYSQL. :) thanks to you..
Hi Eli, i saw 4 videos overall since yesterday. All are very informative and nicely presented. Thank you very much for this :). These are insightful. I am also planning to share it with my colleagues. Let me know if you have any video on SQL Server or Oracle database licensing... I am also interested to know if you have any class on datacenter and phy. h/w servers (types with examples). Thanks :)
Subscribed and Liked, nice video and thanks for the effort and your time thinking of giving MCSE so it helps me to understand the basic first before I get learn Win 2012 server exam
Thanks Eli. That was a great video. I have a feeling, correct me if I am wrong, that you are on team Mac/Apple. Anyway, on your comment about Licensing with Windows Server thats almost same on VMware and any other popular programs and technology. (I used to work for VMware licensing.)
Very good ressource as i was seeking for guidiance on how to build up a new network. Worth mentioning is, that Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation is only capable of 8 GB RAM. If you need to allocate more than 8 GB you should use x64 editions of either Web Server, Small Business Server or Standard.

Eli, i'm sure this might have been asked before however, Will Server administration ever get so automated (AKA easy) in the future so that IT admin's will be a limited few? THX.
you said you did a lot of research...can u tell the methods and what books/ videos to follow. it will be better if they r free sources...thanks.but your videos r awesome:-)
hi eli great videos man much apresheated, do you have a video on how to configure a mail server i wont to install a mail server on a local lan without an internet can you help me please
Not necessarily. Most people use a normal desktop operating system. If you're talking about a game server that needs to be online 24 hours a day and will be hosting hundreds of games at once, you probably want a Windows Server. If you'll only be running one game locally for a few hours a day, Windows XP, Vista, or 7 will do fine.
Hi, I am trying to install the window server 2k3 on dell drac 4/i but I m not able to install the windows getting error "setup unable to access the files needed to continue. this could be caused by CD media or cd media no longer present when I click close I get error internal datastructre get corrupted
I have windows 10 as my operating system, can i install a stand alone Sharepoint with it ? or i really need a Windows server as an operating system ? And i encounter this Windows Server 2016 Datacenter, it doesn't look like an operating system what is it for ? Sorry for my ignorance I'm new to this kind of stuffs
looking at getting a server with windows 2008r2 sp2, I want to know if when people utilize webmail or exchange email services do each person connecting to webmail, or receiving their emails use a CAL? or just people or other servers accessing the server at the time.
How can a server been hack and how can you protect your server to attacks , I ALREADY am your biggest fan thx for all your time invest on the youtube for us for me :D thx!!!

You make me realize how much microsoft sucks. If i owned a company id get a Linux server instead, at the long run it will be A LOT cheaper and no such thing as "oops, this software doesn't do what we need... lets pay $1000 more!" lol. Thanks for opening my eyes!
True, but good luck finding and training IT people that can maintain it. Even your Linux geeks are usually clueless with the server end of Linux. You may end up paying more to employ IT people that can work with it. You will also have a lot of headaches getting your windows machines to talk to your Linux servers. You could put Linux on all your client computers, but again good luck trying to get all of your employees to understand it as well as finding all the software you need. Running Microsoft is usually more practical. Trust me I've been trying Linux off and on for years and end up going back to Microsoft.

First time hearing all these things...I am in software field for 10 years...Amazing video...
Thank you for being so patient and detailed, while keeping it easy to digest., thanks and subscribed.
Hey Eli, first time watcher, and this video was absolutely fantastic. Thanks a lot!
Dude, you teach really well.👍
@85Damix Take a good long look at their licensing requirements... A RHEL server can be foolishly expensive once you ad everything up.

Thanks Eli. Can you do an updated version for Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2, 2016, 2019, 2022, and 2025 - Thank you

Many thanks to you I really like to learn from you, when will teach us about server exchange

Hello sir I love your videos, quick question. If I need to setup a fileserver every user that will access the server is counted as 1CAL?
AWESOME!
hi ! do you have podcasts of your videos ??
so bottom line You can used as a normal PC ?
thanks a lot. For a layman like me it was very useful.
actually i found the licencing lecture really interesting
Great Video!
Thanks Bro for the knowledge...
thanku.. you understand very well
Eli, i'm sure this might have been asked before however, Will Server administration ever get so automated (AKA easy) in the future so that IT admin's will be a limited few? THX.
Hats off you eli... you must change your name from elithecomputerguy to elithecomputerGOD...
you said you did a lot of research...can u tell the methods and what books/ videos to follow. it will be better if they r free sources...thanks.but your videos r awesome:-)
Yes, agree with you
hi eli great videos man much apresheated, do you have a video on how to configure a mail server i wont to install a mail server on a local lan without an internet can you help me please
I want to use my server as a file server and run a website from it. What Windows Server do I need? I would like to use Windows Server 2016.
Hi Eli, I have a question regarding windows server 2008. what is the difference between (full installation) and (server core installation)?
thanks
@elithecomputerguy offcourse that's why we have CentOS, SL and etc.... :)
Is there such a thing as a server warranty?
Thanks, shorty!
Not necessarily. Most people use a normal desktop operating system. If you're talking about a game server that needs to be online 24 hours a day and will be hosting hundreds of games at once, you probably want a Windows Server. If you'll only be running one game locally for a few hours a day, Windows XP, Vista, or 7 will do fine.
a good introduction
Eli,
where have you been hiding yourself?. Hope all is well.
Are windows server for game hosting ?
What is your opinion about booting Windows Server 2012 from a USB drive?
What's the easiest way to remember server software vs server OS.
thank you
1:35 Y U NO DELETE THE "Y"? --- haha Thanks for the videos!

what are server additions kindly explain step by step.
these are software you need to download. such as if you want word. power point share point. you will have to buy the Microsoft 365 package.
ya..really a good one for a ...

Linux is great for some things such as Web sites; however Windows is the industry standard and just works better.

that's true!
