Type of operating system for Windows 2008 VM?

When we create a Windows 2008 VM, should what operating system I choose?  Should we choose Windows 2003 or Windows Vista?

Thank you

You should choose Windows 2008

What version of ESX 3.5 do you have?

Note that Windows 2003 or Vista may be too thin.

  • How to enable the Windows 2008 R2 guest operating systems on Windows 2008 R2 Datacenter edition host

    Sorry, I realize it is there much written and blogged about activation and license but I still cannot grasp exactly what to do, please can you help me.

    I have a host running windows 2008 R2, datacenter edition.  The 2008 datacenter edition license allows any number of windows OS to run on this host (will run for most 2008R3 standard edition) so I guess (I hope correctly) that I don't need to buy more licenses.

    So my question is, when these comments of the virtual machines are created, how can I activate them?  What product key should be used?   I have a product key for data center edition, but it does not work "the product key you entered will not work with this edition of windows server 2008 R2.

    Thank you if you can let me know if there is a way (or ways) for the operating systems Windows Server activated running on datacenter edition.

    Best regards

  • Satellite A500-1GL - alternative operating system to Windows 7?

    If someone managed to use a different operating system of Windows on this laptop? I have a dual boot with Windows XP and 7 (I have a few games that won't play on Windows 7).

    I realize that there may be some problems with some drivers, but as long as I have enough material to work to play the games doesn't bother me if some bits do not work!

    In general, you can install any system you want, but the problem is drivers. I have a500 also and wanted to run Windows xp but cannot find any drivers for it. It was about 7 mounts there and maybe they are already out :), did not check.

    This happens if you have a corrupt user profile.  Windows detects this and log in with a temporary profile.  Whatever you do, do not save all the data of your temporary profile as it will be deleted when you close.  You will probably find all your files from your profile missing in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\Utilisateur\Mes Documents.

    Recovery of a corrupted user profile is not too difficult.  Follow the instructions in one of the following articles:

    Hi the user Noob,

    We recommend that you remove the entry that allows Windows to start successfully. Microsoft Windows Vista (C:\Windows) is the default. You can remove the second entry and check the result (delete if it does not work).
