Hello, i have a question....Why do you use a 32 bits of windows 2008 r2 with 8 gb of memory? why you dont use 64 bits? 32 bits is better?

Mostly due to the fact it has a lower memory footprint. Not just server 2008 but all 32-bit OS in general. I have actually switched to 64-bit server for the purpose of virtualization. 64-bit takes advantage of virtualization and I need to test out some Active Directory configurations in 2008 at the moment.

The selling points of running 32-bit though are: Faster boot times, lower memory usage, ability to address more than 4 GB of RAM, lower hardware requirements, allow unsigned drivers.

ok....and do you think that windows 2008 is better than windows 2008 r2 as workstation??......I ask because i want to install a new S.O.. My Laptop is a Core 2 duo at 2.2 Ghz, 4 gb of memory 320 gb hdd....

Windows 7 takes advantage of multi-threaded machines especially in encoding and productivity. If you don't have a 6 core AMD or a 8 thread i7 it is really not going to benefit you that much. The disadvantage of R2 is that you are forced to use 64-bit and it is a little more resource intensive than 32-bit server 2008. The great thing about 2008 is you still get to use all 4GB of your RAM and do all the daily tasks you would perform on R2. The memory footprint is quite noticeable. If you really enjoy the features of Windows 7 my personal recommendation would be to just run 7. I'm not trying to advocate that server 2008 is the greatest operating system ever or any propaganda like that - from my personal experience its just been the one that has run the best on my machine.

Here's a Passmark benchmark comparing 2008 64-bit to windows 7 64-bit on my machine:

As you can see server 2008 performed quite better over 7 in 3D Graphics and Disk score for some reason.

I can't explain it technically, I just like it. Your best bet would be to try out R2 first for a little bit and then switch to server 2008 and feel the difference for yourself. Its the only way you are going to be for certain which one you like best. That is my advice my friend.

I have recently discovered that applying this tweak will break the system restore functionality if you continue to use it. If you do not care to use system restore you can continue to use this tweak, if not I highly advise restoring your system to normal via my guide here:

Go to "What should I know before removing this tweak?" to properly restore your system back to normal. Make sure you have downloaded the attached restoreservices.bat file.

well.... i can't see the restoreservices.bat file.
it's not in the zip file... (??)

Yeah bit of a problem. I didnt save a copy of that on my hard drive and i accidentally deleted it. As long as you remove the logon/logoff scripts in group policy you should be good.

open group policy (gpedit.msc) and go to user configuration > windows settings > Scripts (logon/logoff) and remove the serviceson.bat and servicesoff.bat. You should be good to go. It will work as long as you don't apply the tweak because the services tweak disables system restore on shutdown there damaging the restore point.

It is attached below.

this script is pretty cool in yr result! thx for yr sharing. i will try it out tonight~~
