EBS evaluation bits now online
Great news! Today the RTM evaluation isos went online for Windows Essential Business Server 2008. We even have localized builds on English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian and Spanish.
Worth pointing out you should check the system requirements. For lab testing you could also consider virtualizing EBS using Hyper-V.
The evaluation will run for 240 days, but you’ll need to rearm every 60 days after the first 120, just like you would Windows Server 2008. You can do this by reading more about it here or more specifically here. If you’re really in a hurry you can just run this command with elevated privileges slmgr.vbs –rearm
Enjoy!
