Description

The OS was first uploaded to the (now defunct) CollabVM FTP Server, where the author stated his intentions to submit it to TeamOS. A few components relating to VPNs and the immersive control panel are removed. Other than that, the OS is mostly a stock install.

The ISO was made using NTLite on Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter.
