I cant count the times i borked some server setup that i was learning. So i just install onto a test VM and once it is working and i can replicate it properly, I do it on a production server. My terms are funny because productions is just some tools i use. It is mostly just a home lab. :)

Not sure what i did wrong but i setup a VM of Server 2022 and tried to use the license and it didnt work. That is weird because my reading says that it should have worked???? The server so far runs great.. I do have 2 test VMs on it that are very small as i still need to buy storage for it. I only have a single 240gb SATA SSD on it. I plan on filling the other 7 bays with 2tb SATA SSDs and upgrading memory to 384gb. I was also looking into upgrading the CPUs to Xeon 2690 v4 CPUs.. They are cheap on Amazon and Ebay. Right now i have dual 2650s. I am still kind of undecided on whether i want to use Proxmox as my main OS or Server 2019 Datacenter. What are your thoughts??
