Installing Windows Server 2008 R2 on the HP X510 and EX495

A user by the name of mimoid has written a post on the WeGotServed forums on installing Windows Server 2008 R2 on the old HP X510 (and EX495).

These old WHS v1 boxes are perfectly capable of running Windows Server 2008 R2 and mimoid explains that is needed and how to do it

…you will still need to enable the Remote Desktop service and also configure the firewall to allow RDP connections. This sounds awfully complicated without seeing what you are doing, but is in fact remarkably easy to do.

You can find his guide here.
