Hi,
There are two ways to activate Enterprise - MAK and KMS. KMS doesn't require
you to enter a key on your clients - they will activate because of the KMS.
So, you can get the TechNet media and install it on your clients, and provided
that you get your KMS stood up within the grace period,
So you have the volume license but not the signon to download the media? If so
you could just download the VL Media and use it and not have to even worry if

I usually go with around 150MB. Keep in mind that on a 32bit box you want the
cumulative size of all your event logs to be =300MB. You should size your app
and system logs accordingly as well.
Also note that the policy will not shrink logs if you have them bigger than
your new maximum.
On the AV, check the AV scanning log and see if it is grabbing files.
If your web pages are delivered via content from a database make sure
your AV isn't grabbing your database. AV (any AV) with it's grubby

The only issue with syslog is that can be unreliable. As you scale up, you may
