Windows Server 2003 operating system administrator password reset
A recent review of the servers at my work has revealed a number of servers that we do not know the admin password
for. We have other admin connections that can continue to connect to the box, but I want to get these 'lost '.
Passwords rewritten/found/changed for the 'administrator' login will work as it should. Which brings me
a fundamental question:
(1) because I have another pair of login/pswd admin, I can easily change the administrator password. The
It is - change the administrator password effect all services' that are on the server
using the "system account", to work properly? I am not sure if the 'administrator' account is the same
the "system account" use the vast majority of services.
Thanks for the help. J. Nelson

Can I run RoboHelp 7 on Windows Server 2008 operating system?
Yes, I know that we are out of date, but not sure I can get to upgrade or not.
Thank you
Anahid
RoboHelp is not certified for use on any server operating system.
The license allows a single user on a client operating system, such as XP for RoboHelp 7. Not sure about Vista but it is not supported on Windows 7. It can work, and then you might find something broken. Your call on that.
See www.grainge.org for creating tips and RoboHelp

VMWare Converter does not convert the Windows Server 2008 operating system
Hello
When I try to convert a Windows 2008 Server box (the one I just set up is Standard 32-bit with SP2) it returns the error 'Unable to determine the BONES' I put the hand on the paper and annex the exported below text.
The virtual host is a Dell PowerEdge 2950 Quad Core with 900 GB RAID 1. Any help is appreciated!
See you soon,.

Hi James,
Welcome to the forums.
You cannot use the 3.0.3 converter to convert a Windows 2008. You should use the 4.x Converter.
It will be useful.

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.

Satellite A200 - Installation of Windows Server 2003
Dear Sirs,
Recently, I bought a toshiba Laptop which has Vista Home Premium operating system. In the free space on the hard drive, I intend to install Windows Server 2003. When I insert the CD, the "install Windows Server 2003" is disabled. It does not run the application installation, and as such, I couldn't install this operating system.
I even tried to start the insttallation put the DVD drive as a boot preference. Still it I cannot install the Windows Server 2003 operating system.
Can someone help me in this problem. I wanted to install the Windows Server 2003 next to the Vista operating system.
Thanks in advance.
Rama> When I insert the CD, the "install Windows Server 2003" is disabled
What do you mean by people with disabilities?You are not able to boot from the CD?
In these cases, please press the C button immediately after switching on the laptop. This should allow booting from the CD/DVD drive.
Alternatively, you can try to press the F12 key instead of the C key. This should allow the start menu. Then you could choose the STRANGE as boot device and might try to boot from the CD-ROM Server Win. -

Are you looking for the drivers for Windows Server 2003?
Well, I think you will find all the drivers Win Server 2003 because this drivers don t exist.Win Server 2003 operating system was designed based on windows XP.
So usually the drivers Win XP should work!Furthermore, as you are probably aware that the Win Server 2003 operating system is not supported by Toshiba you need to search on sites of third 3rd ATI graphic driver.
Maybe a site www.omegadrivers.net might help you.
But note; 3 third party drivers can be installed ONLY at your own RISK! Why?
Because these drivers have not been tested and so no one can tell if the laptop will run stable and will work properly after installing these drivers. -

People,
Hello. I need to install the Windows 7 host virtualization software, and then install Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.
VMware Workstation supports Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system, but it's not free download.
People know that supports virtualization software free Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system invited?
Thanks in advance.
As I said in your previous post, VMWare Player is a free download and does not support Win7 as host and Win2k3 as a guest. VMWare Player is also included with VMWare Workstation, you can imply that most of the time something that supports VMWare Workstation as a guest operating system is also a guests supported for the reader.
And unlike previous versions, player 3 includes the ability to create virtual machines base. For many people, especially those who are starting just in virtualization, player is sufficient.
VMWare Workstation, although not free, can be installed as a 30 day trial. After the trial, you can not start your virtual machines in my computer, but because the player is included in the installation, you can still run your virtual machines in the drive without having to uninstall anything. So just install Workstation. After the trial expires, if you wish that the advanced features of the workstation, then buy it. If not, just continue to use the drive.

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!!!
