Besides that, I’ve also seen several websites reviewing SE and it comes out reasonably well. Something which I doubt is out there for free (suggestions are welcome by the way). And since it’s ‘just’ a small test setup for home use purposes only it doesn’t really need to be equipped with Enterprise worthy protection anyway.

Yes, I know, there are alternatives, even free ones, I just like the simplicity and general look and feel of Security Essentials, can’t help it. I also ran into an issue with my wireless network card.Īlthough Security Essential will not be supported (no hack for that :-), it’s relatively easy to install on Server 2012. Unfortunately it didn’t work nor is it supported in any way, till I found this useful hack (I know, it’s actually a workaround, hack just makes it sound way cooler). Before I started using OS X I always used Microsoft Security Essentials, so I thought I’d give it a go on Server 2012 as well. I’ve been using my Mac exclusively during the past 12 to 13 months or so, that’s right, it’s all I have, so I wasn’t really up to speed with some of the free AV solutions out there. Just recently, while configuring my new virtual test setup at home (server 2012), one of the things I though about was what anti virus software to use.
