7. Sample Registry/File Evidence
Expected Output:
- P2V the 2008 Build 6003 system into Hyper-V.
- Keep it as a temporary legacy VM while migrating applications.
- Kernel and driver model: built on Vista-era kernel (NT 6.0) with updated driver model and user-mode improvements.
- Service isolation: services run in more granular ways; many features were reworked for security and reliability.
- Module-based components: e.g., IIS modules and role-services allow admins to install only required services, reducing attack surface.
- 64-bit emphasis: while 32-bit versions existed for some SKUs, the platform strongly emphasized x64 deployments for production and memory scalability.
