While Microsoft is preparing to release Technical Preview 2 sometime in May, we will need to look for an alternative to continue using Windows Server Preview build. Good news for us, today morning a new blog post was published in the Windows Server blog, stating that there will be a workaround published soon to extend the trial. I will post back with more details when it becomes available.
