RIS is just one way of doing it. Any PXE system could
be used I would imagine ;) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Noah Eiger Sent: Friday, November 19, 2004 4:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Virtual Server 2005 Thanks all. I will play
around with the various methods of duplicating servers (Al, I assume by PXE you
mean in combination with RIS? Do you use a virtual RIS
server?) As for the networking
portion, I find that when I add a virtual host to a physical card, the virtual
machine gets an address from my “real” network. Also, are there issues
with running the host machine on a machine that is joined to a real
domain? From: Mulnick,
Al [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Networking outside the
box is usually done by adding the virtual host to the phys host network
card. The phys NIC acts as a router in this case and everything is NAT'd
off to the external network. That's the same for
letting the hosted OS access anything off the host server whether internet or
internal network. Copying virtual hosts
can be done that way. I believe there are some tools that make this
easier, but that's the way I know of that makes the server supportable.
PXE is another way to provision servers in there. Depends on how you like to use
it. There are instances for copying the virtual servers to another
isolated network that can also be done that don't require sysprep that would
work well for testing environments. For newsgroups, you
might want to check yahoo newsgroups to see if one exists there yet.
Does that
help? From:

Eiger Hello: Is anyone using Virtual Server 2005?
I am running a TechNet demo copy and had some questions. Documentation and
support has been spotty (e.g., the newsgroup is not up and running yet). Here
are a few questions. Any thoughts or pointers to web resources
appreciated. -
I can’t seem to figure out how you
would set up a virtual network (using a virtual w2k3 server for dns, dhcp, etc.)
and then route that out to the Internet. I guess one would need a virtual
router/gateway. I think the virtual DHCP server does
this. -
Is it possible to setup a virtual
network that could also interact with other OS machines (e.g., Linux, MacOS X,
etc.). I want to setup a virtual Windows network but also allow other OS
machines to access file and directory services and
Exchange. -
How would you duplicate virtual
machines? It seems that once you have built a single W2k3 server and patched it,
you could simply copy it and then sysprep it. Any thoughts?
Thanks. -- nme |
