RAM. The virtual server is running Windows server 2003 std with 512Mb
allocated with MOM 2005 SP1 installed. Three times I left the VS ...

When ever I try to restart a vm from a saved state I get this error message:
<Server> could not be restored because the emulated Ethernet controller
could not be initialized.
Only way to restart vm is to discard the saved state.

After applying the MS06-025 patch to our Virtual Server we can't access the
VS from IE.
We get the error "Could not connect to Virtual Server. Access was denied."
I've lloked at kbid=891609 and our DCOM permissions match what is in the

I´m trying to install the 3.0 and 4.0 versions of RH in Virtual Server R2
(Microsoft certified versions).
The installation occurs with no problem until the CD2 is requested.

Is the Microsoft Virtual Server just the next generation of the
Microsoft Virtual PC or is it a different product line?
Thanks.

Gurus,
I have built many VMs in Virtual Server 2005 R2.  Does anyone know if VMWare
5.5 Workstation can mount and run these VMs?  I know this is a Microsoft
newsgroup but figured the audience here would have skills that cross-over.

I was wondering if it is possible to determine the name of a virtual
machine in a script when the virtual machine is shut down.

Server Properties screen?  Or do I need to use the COM component and

The guide to clustering a VM is very useful and works well, however, I find

automatically restarting it! I know this is primarily "by design", however
there are bound to be occassions when you wish to perform ...

I've spent three hours trying to install a guest OS into Virtual Server 2005

I had server with Virtual Server 2005 R2 installed.The virtual server itsefl
had one or many kind of operating system, which one of them is Windows XP SP2.
I'm figuring out how to make a client PC to access those Virtual Server from
their PC.

When we started using, we (wrongly) assumed a virtual hard drive created to
be X gigabytes in the guest machine would not grow beyond that size on the
host. Thus, we deployed six VMs with 10GB disks on hosts with 80 GB disks,
thinking 6 vhd x 10 GB = 60 GB plus a little for ...

Will Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 support X64 bit GUEST operating systems by
making use of VT in Intel processors or Pacifica in AMD processors? This is
what is currently a showstopper for using it to test Exchange 2007 (we want
to use x64 in tests, not the non production 32 bit ...
