I'm testing the latest build of Whidbey (Visual Studio 2005) and it's a
current requirement that certain pieces be installed on 3 different machines
with user accounts being Active Directory accounts. Since I don't have 2
extra machines sitting around I thought I'd use Virtual Server. I installed
Win2003 Server as a Domain Controller in one VS instance (VS1) and installed
Win2003 Server in another VS instance (VS2) making it a member of the
domain. The problem I'm having is that I can't make a non-Virtual Server
instance a member of the newly created domain. Is this just not possible or
do I have things setup wrong?

Thanks in advance for the insight,
Brian

This should work just fine. Have you confirmed that the machines can
see each other on the network?

Thanks for the reply Ben.
Via Windows Explorer, from the non-VS client I can see the domain, but can't
"touch" any member of the domain. There is 100% loss when trying to ping
the domain controller (or other domain member) from the non-VS client.
Maybe I just have something setup wrong somewhere. Thanks for any direction
you can provide.

Can you provide an IPCONFIG /ALL output from each computer?
