Turn Windows 2008 Server into a Workstation

Lots of posts today…

Here is a great walkthrough to turn 2008 Sever into a usable workstation.

2008 Server R2 – WTF? Where’s my WI-FI?

So configuring 2008 Server R2 on my laptop and would like to connect to a WLAN.  After verifying that the driver was functional, there was no way to connect to a network, WTF?

So it looks like you need to install the Wireless LAN Service to work.  Seriously?

Open Server Manager > Click on Features > Add a Feature > Locate Wireless LAN Service and install.

No reboot required, now your WNIC is able to connect to a WLAN.

That took way too long to figure out…
