Give your SharePoint dev environment a boost!

We have found that when doing SharePoint development on our own custom Windows 2008 virtual machine the following tool comes in really handy: the Windows Server 2008 Workstation Converter (http://www.askvg.com/download-windows-server-2008-workstation-converter-created-by-sawo/). It makes the server behave more like a workstation and does things like:

  • Enable audio
  • Disable IE Enhanced security configuration
  • Install desktop experience
  • Disable CTRL+ALT+DELETE at startup
  • Disable shutdown event trackker
  • Enable Windows search service
  • Enable auto logon
  • Disable verbose messages at startup/shutdown
