Evaluation copies of Microsoft Servers
On a regular basis, I am asked the following question: “Where can I download the trial software of {product x}?”
With that in mind, I have decided to post the links to some of these products below:
Windows 7 Enterprise 90-day Trial: https://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9701662
Windows Server 2008 R2 Trial Software: https://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9701666
Forefront Server Security Management Console: https://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9701670
Microsoft System Center Essentials 2010 Beta: https://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9701674
System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2: https://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9701678

Office Communications Server 2007 R2 180-Day Trial: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/bb684921.aspx
I realize that I did not list every Microsoft Server product available. I chose to list the ones I’ve been receiving the most requests for. Enjoy.
