After Windows Server 2012 has shipped I took the opportunity to rebuild my lab and once again and install all the ‘wave 15’ or 2013 versions of all the core enterprise products so I can blog about the process. I have ran through the process for Exchange 2013 and SharePoint 2013 so it is now on to the installation ofLync 2013 Preview……My environment is Windows Server 2012 Datacenter (RTM) VMs with the following servers:
