Hey Tim,
I'm running into technical difficulties try to load a gust OS on my newmly
created VM server. I've got the CD loaded into the host machine. I even went
into the the virtual machine bios and made sure the boot order is correct.
I've gone into the VM console and select for the DVD/CD "Connect to host
device". I power off the VM then power back on and expect to see the VM boot
from the CD and begin the W2K3 installation. Appears to not be recognizing
the host CD or something. any tips?

Thanks Cliff! I appreciate it. I think on my next attempt I will connect
this to my extra Static from my ISP.

Tim: Since SBS likes to be the DHCP server, you have a chicken and egg
scenario if you have VMWare running with a DHCP assigned address.
SBS...and by proxy your DHCP server, is running on a virtual machine and
the host environment needs a DHCP address from the DHCP server that is
down.

Stick with static. :)

Anyone using ESXi with SBS 2008? I have installed ESXi on a new server
that I want to load SBS 08 on but I am not sure if I should assign a
static IP to the VMware interface or do you do that once the server is
loaded and leave the vmware DHCP?

As always thanks in advance for the help!!

Tim
