Windows 8

Windows 8 and DSfW

I am still in the process of using Windows 8 with Domain Services for Windows.  From what I have seen so far it behaves similar to Windows 7 as a workstation joined to the domain.  Logging in, mapping drives, running GPOs, executing login script from a GPO, all seem to work as in Windows 7.  The biggest challenge for me is getting used to the Start menu in Windows 8 and that  isn’t DSfW related.

Windows 8 with VMWare View 5.1.1 and DSfW OES11SP1 all appear to play well with each other.  Making templates and linked clones do not seem to have any gotchyas to look out for.  Let me know or the Novell Forums know if you discover a bug with DSfW and Windows 8.
