Re: Virtual SBS2003 R2 Test Machine Hosted by WXP X64 SP2

Hey SG!

Uninstalled SP2 today from the WXP X64 hosting box... I had too many 10016
DCOM errors...

I also had the one minute count down timer pop up and log me off a number of
times this afternoon. So I thought it prudent to remove the service pack and
patch to current levels before proceeding further.

Seems I have had problems before with SP2 installed... FWIW, I have applied
that SP2 to the TS virtual test machine but NOT to the virtual R2 box...

Regards.

it should eventually but you might try going to Microsoft Update just get
to the point where you scan for updates, but I'm not sure what will happen
with the beta.

re making the server available before logon, you would need to use Virtual
Server which can be told to run a vm at startup. VS is not supported for
production use under XP but it does work quite well.

And... the WXP X64 host doesn't get registered with WSUS...

Darn!

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>
