Microsoft has released a pre-configured Virtual Hard Drive (VHD) which enables you evaluate SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition for 180 days.
Make sure you have Hyper-V installed to run this virtual machine. You will also need a 64-bit system with hardware-assisted virtualization enabled, as well as data execution prevention (DEP).
Download SQL Server 2008 R2 VHD
There are 5 parts to be downloaded in the link given above. Once downloaded, self-extract the RAR file, accept the EULA and import the VM into your Hyper-V.
Note: To connect to the internet using this VHD, you will manually need to configure a virtual NIC.
Thank you very much for this information, I need to create a VM with Project Server 2010 so this VHD will help me although I use Virtual Box so I hope I can use it
