This investigation will configure your host machine to access files in a MS Windows server via command line and graphically.
=== Creating a Windows 2008 Server VM ===
To demonstrate how to access and share files from a remote MS Windows server using '''smbclient''' on your '''host''' machine, we will install a Windows 2008 server Windows7 machine as a virtual machine.
'''Perform the following steps:'''
#Make certain you are using your '''host''' machine.
#Download a version of MS Windows ISO file to your host machine. If you have already downloaded an ISO file, then you can use that (i.e. transfer to your host machine).<br>'''NOTE:''' You cannot use a CD/DVD since KVM does not install by CD/DVD.<br><br>'''ALTERNATIVE METHOD:''' You could also refer to the following link to download any MS Windows Windows7 OSimage: https://inside.senecacollege.ca/its/software/ , <br>select '''Software Downloads''', login with your senecaid and password, select '''MSDN''', and then select a Windows OS ISO Windows7 iso image to download.<br>You are <u>not</u> required to obtain a product key since you will not need to extend the use of this Windows OS over 60 days.
{{Admon/tip |Rearming the Windows Trial Version|If are your trial period for your Windows machine is nearly over, you can extend the trial period for another 30 days by running a command prompt as the <u>administrator</u> (right-click on '''cmd''' icon) and issuing the command: '''slmgr -rearm'''. Obviously, you are required to perform this operation prior to the termination of the initial trial period.}}
