I am using the Free edition on Windows 2008 Server as a temporary store to move data from one SAN to another. It works really well but I have a couple of frustrating issues.
On the Management Console
Looking at the Host I can't see what disk is available to distribute to the targets
Lokking at the Target I can't see the size of the image files. The Help screens show the size in the Device Properties panel but not on my system.
Am I missing something obvious?

1) There's no way to show ALL the possible places you could place say image file. As connections and new storage devices could be added and removed dynamically. So every time you want to add new LUN you get the browser window and you do pick up your LUN destination location. And there you see - how much space you can export as iSCSI target. I'm afraid that's all we can do for you... Or do you have better idea how this process should look like?
2) For LUN sizes for targets - it's already fixed and upcoming version WILL report LUN size in the Management Console.
