CtxAdmTools: Visual Core Configurator v1.1 (Beta 2) Released!

Visual Core Configurator 2008 is a FREE tool to Setup and Configure Windows 2008 Core servers.

Today, January 2, 2009, I released the Beta 2 of Visual Core Configurator 2008.

Build 240 (Beta 2) is available for download at http://ctxadmtools.musumeci.com.ar/
You can download the .EXE file package (include extra files) or .ISO file (Best Option for Virtual Machines).

This Beta was tested on both versions of Microsoft Windows 2008 Core (x86 and x64) and physical servers, and VMware, Microsoft and XenServer virtual machines.



New Features of this Version: Event Viewer.

Notes about this build: I wrote the entire Event Viewer module (from scratch) in only 1 day (almost 700 lines of codes), but when I start testing the Save Log option on Windows 2008 core I discovered the Common Dialog never show up on Core, so I developed an entire Common Dialog interface.
