Folks,

I have installed Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 on my laptop.
I have installed a guest OS - Windows Server 2003.

My intention is to allow file sharing between the guest and the host OS.
Any pointer regarding this would be highly appreciated..!

Thanks.
Regards,

Asrar

 

what he said ^

You can do this many times also.

I have win2k3 and 3 xp pro's running I am still messing with the Linux OS to get that to work I'm missing something but it shouldn't be much of an issue to sort.

 

Folks,

Thanks for the reply.

Any idea how much RAM would I need for the following VMs:

• Windws Server 2003 DC -- 1
  
• Windows Server 2003 - will use as client
  
• Microsoft Exchange Server 2008 to be installed on DC ( i know it is not a good practice but the hardware capacity of my machine won't allow more VMs)

Regards,

 

I would go for 4GB otherwise you might struggle.

 

^ what he said ^, I ran a similar setup on 2GB for a while, and it was way to slow.

 

I am sorry.. My mistake..

It is definitely Exchange2007

 

Won't 3 GB suffice..

 

agreed, it depends if you want something that works ok or something that could be a bit juddery.

 

My problem is that I've got Vista on my laptop and that is eating up 1 GB of RAM

 

You should def go for 4GB.

 

Hi Ken,

I aint able to still get the networking done between host and guest OS.

Help me

 

make sure you are on the server os whilst doing it, thats how i did it.

 

Does the VM get the correct IP, GW, Mask, and DNS?

does your router have a one IP per port restriction.

you could use select the network card listed instead of Shared Networking when joining the domain and other more advanced networking options,

you could download this and see if it works http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...d6-565f-4a57-be8c-1d4718d3af65&displaylang=en
