Virtual SBS2003 R2 Test Machine Hosted by WXP X64 SP2

Finally...

I have the following virtual guest machines running... WXP X86, WS2k3 T/S
and my SBS2003 R2 PE box.

Everything runs well... so today I decided to add the host WXP X64 SP2
(Beta) to the R2 domain.

After doing that and rebooting when I try and log into the domain it says
the domain is not available. Which sort of makes sense as the R2 box being a
virtual machine won't come alive until after the Host is running and starts
it.

Just wondering if there's a way around this...perhaps auto starting R2 so
that it's running when I log into the Host? Is such a thing possible? For
now I log in the WXP X64 SP2 local machine and everything runs as before...
and the X64 box is a member machine on the domain.

Thanks in advance...

Oh...

FYI, connecting to the domain using RWW and the T/S box is quick....
considering all this is happening within a 2 GB memory environment. Please
keep in mind this is a Test box for proof of principle. If I can sort out
the remaining quirks I have a prod X64 box with 4 Gigs of ram to drop all
this onto... personally, I think this is a good DRP method... images are
supposedly transportable across hosts... supposedly! <VBG>
