Testing the Customer Experience - Windows Server Essentials
To verify the customer experience and check your customizations, run through the Initial Configuration on a target computer.
Important
You must run the Sysprep.exe command to prepare the image for deployment before you test the Initial Configuration experience. For more information, see Preparing the Image for Deployment - Windows Server Essentials.
A network connection is required to test the Initial Configuration. By default, DHCP is not configured or installed on the server.
To test the customer experience
Complete the Initial Configuration at least one time manually to walk through the customer experience.
If you cobranded the Dashboard you must complete the Initial Configuration to verify the branding.
If you cobranded the Remote Web Access site, you must access http://<servername> to verify the branding (<servername> is the name of the server).
To verify the partner Support Information, in the Dashboard, click the down arrow next to the Help button.
