When downloading SBS Essentials from the eval site you might want to run a Sha1 test to make sure that the download is a good download.

SHA1: 58FE96CD15B46107C0030713CB75A18B5FAFEF69  ISO/CRC: 1345F2EF

664d2d01564070f11699bcc219fbe4ad48866d99 en-us_sbs_ess_eval_installdvd.iso Is the Sha1 I received.  The MD5 was d96ad518b35fb02e67b728d988007ea8 en-us_sbs_ess_eval_installdvd.iso

One interesting recent kb that may impact you when to try to install the server is this one:

    I can’t wait until Windows 8 includes support for mounting ISO’s natively. If that functionality is exposed via WinPE/Setup, you could plug that external hard drive in with all of your MAPS ISO’s and just mount the one you need to install without fiddling with DVD’s or “burning” them to thumbdrive. Dumping them to thumbdrive takes time – and a lot of drives….

    You would only come across that oemsetup.inf problem if you changed it for a custom scripted install.

    Out of curiosity what brought this issue up ? Did you have a corrupt download ? Should we check everything we download ? Is the Internet corrupting downloads ?
