What product Vmware is the best for several Windows Server 2003 and 2008 implementation

Hi all

I am just wondering that if I installed VMware on Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition and Windows Server 2003 Enterprize edition on VMware I was able to use more Ram installed, our server have 48GB of Ram but Server 2003 Standard allows only 4 GB max to use, to save money, I was wondering just if I can use the way I mentioned above.

Looking at it, I think you have a misconception about the limitations of VMware, RAM and operating system. Your problem is that you see no more than 4 GB of RAM on your x 86 Server 2003 install? This is a limitation of the operating system - to use more RAM you need an operating system that can deal with the RAM.

  • If you install VMware Workstation on Windows Server 2003 standard x 86 edition then you will only be able to use the 4 GB of RAM, Windows Server 2003 Standard x 32 can process.

  • If you install VMware Workstation on Windows Server 2003 standard x 64 edition then you will be able to use the 32 GB of RAM that Windows Server 2003 Standard x 64 can process.

  • If you install VMware ESX, you can adjust your full 48GB of RAM and install multiple instances of Win 2003 Svr Standard, each of which can address 4 GB of your memory live available.

  • 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].

  • Support for Microsoft Windows Server 2003

    Hello

    I manage and application that is currently running on Windows Server 2003 and will soon migrate to Windows Server 2012 but the exact date is not decided, as a lot of analysis should be done prior to the actual migration.

    Please let me know when Microsoft end this support for their Windows Server 2003 so that I can work on that accordingly.

    That would be really helpful. Any announcement already made by Microsoft on this? I found a few things online stating it would be 2015, but nothing seems to have come directly from Microsoft.

  • Impossible to logon to share the folder with "User must change password at the next logon" in Windows Server 2003

    I use Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 as a file server.  I create new user 'A' in Windows Server 2003 as well with the option "user must change password at the next logon" selected and give way under the group users and users in the domain for this user.  I then share an output folder.  User 'A' is using Windows XP SP3 to connect to this shared folder.  However, when I try to connect, Windows reappear to enter user name and password.  I think it is the limitation in Windows that the user 'A' will be unable to change the password at the next logon or change password at any point in time at all.  Correct me if I heard wrong.

    If possible, can someone enlighten me what is wrong or what I need to do for user to access folder and change the password on the first logon.

    If what I described is not possible, is there another way for me to configure for the user to access share folder so that the user doesn't have to join domain or user of the AD?

  • Cannot print to the PDF printer in Windows server 2003 x 64 (Adobe 9 STD)

    Hello world

    I'm running a very weird question. We are using Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 in our environment. Recently I installed the x 64 bit version of Citrix on top of Windows Server 2003 x 64.

    The problem we experience now is that when the user opens a WORD or EXCEL document and try to print to PDF. SAVE it in windows appears to allow users to save, but nothing happens then. In a Word, no PDF file is created.

    However, if I ask the user to right click on the file (in windows Explorer) and select Convert to PDF, and then the conversion going on.

    Do you know a solution for this?

    Don't know what you're trying to do, but it sure looks like a used Acrobat server. If this is the case, you will need to find another solution. Acrobat is only allowed for the use of the single computer and use on a server is clearly in violation of the EULA. The wording has been explicitly added with AA5 I recall.

  • Quosmio G20-106: issue of Windows Server 2003 and the Fn keys +.

    I installed Windows Server 2003 on my Quosmio G20-106.

    After I installed all possible drivers and saving Toshiba download area, I have still 3 features in the "Other devices" section: eHome Infrared Tranciever, network card and the PCI device.

    In addition, Fn + keys do not work, I can not change the brightness.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    Well, as far as I know the Qosmio G20 was delivered with Windows XP MCE.
    I found the drivers on the Toshiba site, and it seems they are designed only for Win XP and Win XP MCE. In this case, it is possible to s as the FN keys and other devices don't work.
    Nevertheless, it seems to install the LAN driver and modem driver.

    I tried to install their (a) on the Windows Server 2003 (English version). They install without error but when I try to launch them they come with the dialog box to select the English language and of required languages are unavailable / greyed out.

    (For the Chinese language I 'Control Panel > regional and Language Options > languages tab > install files for East Asian languages checked ').

    How can I activate these languages so that Adobe Reader software would result in the language that I need.

    Kind regards

    In the case where if someone had the same problem, here is a solution:

    Go to the window > Control Panel > regional settings > Advanced tab.

    Set the field under: "Select the language that matches the version of non-Unicode programs you want to use" to the language you want to use.
