• Resize Partition Windows Server 2003 comments operating system operating system

  Hello

  I need to improve some of my Windows Server 2003 VMS to 2008 to take advantage of some new features, but due to constraints of size of drive when these 2003 VMs were created, they have very small OS partitions.  I can resize the disk located in the partition, but I wonder how can I resize the partition so that I'll have enough free space to upgrade in-place to Windows Server 2008.

  I don't know there is a clever trick to do this with VMWare...

  Thank you in advance.

  I also found using VMware Converter is the best solution and simpler if you have space just clone with great drive and connected with this or remove the old servers and it always works great.

  If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'useful '. Thank you!!!

• Resize the Windows Server 2003 boot partition

  My client has Server 2003 with a RAID. The system volume / start is 12 GB. Right next to this boot on the partition volume is 30 GB of unallocated space. The rest of the disk is allocated to a separate partition in which all their data lives.

  Can I expand the boot volume to include the 30 GB of unallocated space? If so, how?

  Your help is appreciated.

  1 you shouldn't have to download all the drivers for the vHDD, as LSI Logic drivers are included in Windows Server 2003.  In other words, you have not selected correct SCSI (LSI Logic) controller.

  Now I get NTLDR is missing, restart the computer.

  Make sure that the disk is disconnected.

  Hi all

  Once the converter VMware-converter-en - 5.5.1 - 1682692 does not work, with a touch of friend uninstall the 5.5 version of Converter Standalone Client, look for the VMware converter version - 4.0.0 - 146302 and install this version to the other machine. No not that I had to be Converter, but the windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

  After this race, the Standalone Client 4.4 Converter and everything work fine.

  Now I have the P2V converted and good machine, as was the real operation!

  I thank all of you.

  Best regards

  the application could not start because the configuration of the incorrect application of reinstallation of the application can solve the problem by Insalling Vmware tools so that windows server 2003. PFA

  Ranjana,

  Please, review the vminst.log file located in % TEMP and see if we could see related errors.  Otherwise follow the troubleshooting steps below;

  1. check that the guest operating system that you want to install VMware Tools is fully certified.

  2. check that the correct guest operating system is selected

  3. check that the good ISO image is loaded. For more information, see ensuring good ISO image VMware tools is loaded (1003910).

  4. check that the VMware Tools ISO image has not been damaged. For more information, see determine if your VMware Tools ISO image is damaged on a host ESX/ESXi (1004820).

  5. If you are installing a Windows operating system, make sure that you do not encounter problems with your Windows registry database. For more information about the resolution of the problems of register with VMware Tools, see Impossible to upgrade the existing VMware tools (1001354).

  6. If you install on a 64-bit Linux guest OS, make sure that there are no missing dependencies. For more information, see Tools from VMware install fails to start the daemon of guest OS on the operating systems 64-bit Linux with the glibc-common package 32-bit installed (1023185).

  If your problem persists, please refer to: KB VMware: VMware Tools installation problems that are defective in a guest operating system or contact support.

• How to activate the Internet connection on Windows Server 2003 is installed in the virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8?

  I have Windows Server 2003 is installed on a virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8. I need it to learn and practice the use of the Active Directory. I've also set up 3 Windows XP workstations connect to it, which means that they can communicate with Server 2003. What is lacking is the Internet connection on all of them. When I run ping 8.8.8.8 in one of these virtual machines, I get, 'Destination host unreachable.'

  I'm not sure, what if the problem comes from the settings in Windows or the settings of the virtual machine.

  Can someone help me?

  Thank you, guys. I was finally able to put in place. It was quite an ordeal to deal with IP addresses and virtual networks. Here's how I did (in the screenshots) in case someone else needs it.

  (I also confess that it is perhaps one of the ways to implement. Maybe there is an easier way to do it with DHCP...)

  1. in your computer where is installed VMware Workstation 8 begin the "Virtual Network Editor." It is located in the folder of installation of VMware Workstation. And implement the network following (VMnet2 in my case):

  

  2 then in VMware Workstation itself in the virtual machine when Windows Server 2003 is installed set up two network as connections:

  This one is for external access to the Internet:

  

  And this one for intranet communications AD:

  

  3. then in the machine virtual de Windows Server 2003 set up what follows for two network adapters:

  For Internet access:

  

  Then, you need allow this connection to share:

  

  And then for the ad access to workstations (ensure that the static IP address is in the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor). I've also set up DNS to 127.0.0.1 because I installed on this Windows 2003 DNS server:

  

  4. from the Windows 2003 VM try ping 8.8.8.8. It should work now.

  5. go to each workstation, in my case, Windows XP, each in its own virtual machine and set up the network in the VMware Workstation as follows:

  

  6. then in the virtual machine, configure the network connection for Windows XP workstation. Don't forget to assign a new static IP address for each workstation, which not coinside with IP of the domain (this IP address must come from the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor):

  

  7. try first ping the domain, in my case ping 192.168.237.128. And then Internet, ping 8.8.8.8. The two should work!

  Continue with steps [5-7].

• Yellow! for VMware network driver after upgrade to server 2003

  We have an older Windows Server 2000 guest who was P2V sometime.  It is one of our domain controllers.   In the process of migrating our AD domain until 2008, I have tried to upgrade this server to 2003 our ad can be in 2003 as part of the move towards 2008.   Long story short, in order to upgrade to 2003 server, I had to remove the old Compaq Network Managment of the machine software.  This software was not in Add/Remove Programs, then I went to the manual way to remove hidden drivers, when still it did not work, I have deleted all entries in registry SEO Compaq network management.  I proceeded with the upgrade, but when the system has finished, the LAN connection is missing, and Device Manager has a yellow explanation point to the NIC for VMware Acceleraged AMD PCInet adapter.

  I recloné and resume the upgrade with only remove entries from registry for Compaq Network MGT.  Yet once, after an upgrade, the same problem appeared with the network card.

  I don't know how to successfully remove the Ghost for the Compaq when the software seems to not exist on the computer.  (nothing in Add/Remove Programs, nothing in C:\program files, start anything in the 'Programs' from the menu list.

  Once I get the error on the NIC card I can't fix.  I tried to reinstall the VMWare driver from the VMTools directory, but that still does not work.

  Not sure about Windows 2000, but IIRC the HP drivers can be removed trough the network card properties!

  Be sure to reconfigure the guest operating system to Windows Server 2003 in the properties of the virtual machine after the upgrade. I had probably also remove the NIC and add an E1000 NIC, which is the default value for Windows 2003 VMs.

• What support VMware Windows 7 as a guest host and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system operating system?

  People,

  Hello.

  Because my laptop is preinstalled Windows 7 and cannot dual boot multiple operating systems. I need to install VMware in Windows 7 host and then install Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.

  I installed VMware Server 2.0.2 in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 operating system as a guest host. Everything works fine for a while. But VMware Server Home Page https://mylaptop:8333 / IU cannot display more.

  I found that Windows 7 is not a host for VMware Server 2 and strange operating system might happen at any time. I found that 'VMware Player 3' is fully supported in Windows 7 as host operating system but is not taken in charge of Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.

  People knows what product VMware Windows 7 support as host operating system and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system prompted?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  IMHO, I think that Workstation is the vmware product just for you, the requirements

  It supports Windows 7 as a facilitator and Windows 2003 as a host with no problems. You can be confident about it at 100%.

  Best wishes / Saludos.

• Is there an alternative to the Update Manager - download the latest VMWare Tools for Windows Server 2003

  Hello

  I am really struggling to find an alternative to the Update Manager to download the latest VMWare Tools for Windows (Server 2003)

  There must be a link of just download somewhere? I scoured VMWare.com nothing helps...

  I can find of the OSP for other platforms (SUSE, Ubuntu etc), but nothing for Windows! Why?

  Any help really appreciated!

  Kind regards

  Tony.

  So you are saying I need to download the latest version of ESX/vSphere and then extract the VM Tools of which rpm?

  It might be a way to get them, if you are unable to install the product.

  The version will say vSphere 4.0 be OK for ESXi 3.5 VMs?

  Yes
