Nope, you assume incorrectly, I run most of my stuff with
VPC and Virtual Server and am getting ready to update my main Virtualization
Server to R2 VS.
Hmmm what from USB do I need... Right off my smart card
reader is pretty nice to connect to. Also like connecting to other external disk
devices like fobs and media player devices.
My laptop does have an x64 chip. Well at least one of my
laptops. And no, VS won't work. They don't expect 64 bit guests until the
longhorn server time frame, probably later. In the meanwhile VMWare
workstation will allegedly run 64 bit guests on a 32 bit host as long as the
underlying chipset supports x64. That is pretty cool. I haven't gotten my butt
in gear to get 5.5 yet though. Soon! I actually see the Exchange announcement
forcing a lot of people to go pick up vmware for testing.
I wish I had that kind of time too. However no one is
building my disks for me so I have to make some time and I have been doing
it over the years so it really isn't too bad. In the end, it saves me a bunch of
time.

you? :o) What about USB are you looking for? What does VMWare
do with USB that is this vital? I doubt it’s the USB coffee
warmer… As to the 64-bit
support, I guess that would concern me if my laptop had an x64 chip. But,
then I could use VS 2005 R2. But, I’m not going to
argue the virtues of VMWare vs. VPC. I Use VPC because it’s what 100% of
the material that I get from internal is supplied on. And, I get about 100
or so DVD’s with all types of imaginable configurations. I’m glad that
you’ve got the time to put together all of these disks, joe. I wish I had
that kind of time. Rick From:

On Behalf Of joe I am not a big
workstation OS type of person, I use XP only when I must. Longhorn seems to work
ok in a VM. I do agree that it
isn't the right thing for all situations, but half the people setting up dual
booting blow it anyway. VM is a much simpler solution for most people. Obviousy
if you are doing perf or physical hardware related testing it is tough. Heck
even if you want USB you can't use VPC, you use vmware instead. If you want to
test 64 bit you are kind of screwed too, oh wait vmware workstation does that as
well... From:

Kingslan Hehe…. Let me
know how that full-out testing of I agree, dual-booting
is not the optimal method to running different OS’s, but if you want the OS to
have the full machine, rather than the limited virtualized hardware that the VMs
are allowed – I think dual booting still has a very strong place in the testing
/ learning environment. And, make no mistake –
this is coming from a guy that when on the road, has a 250GB external with
nothing BUT VMs with VPC and VS 2005 R2 on his laptop. I love
virtualization…. It’s just not the right thing for all
situations. Rick From:

On Behalf Of joe I have no clue why it
wouldn't allow you to have different names for the OS and then both can be
joined at the same time, I have done this often. You did use different
directories for the installations right? Any more dual booting
is going the way of the dodo, the "new" thing is to virtualization software so
you have both instances up and running at once. Look at Virtual PC or VMWare
Workstation. From:

naser Hi list, I have windows xp sp 2 on my machine, I need to test
something so I installed windows 2003 server enterprise edition R2 on the same
machine same hard disk, I can see the dual boot screen and choose the OS, but I
can only login to the domain if one of the OS's is disconnected from the domain,
meaning if I want to login to the windows 2003 I have to go to the windows xp
and disjoin the machine from the domain then restart and login to the domain in
windows 2003, if I want to login to winxp I go to windows 2003 and disjoin it
from the domain then restart and join the xp to the domain and login, locally I
can login to both machines no problem. the error is that the computer account is
not found on the domain when I try to login and both OSes are joined to the
domain. I tried to rename the machine name to different names in each OS but
same thing happens. is there a way to do that? (login to domain using both OS's
without having to disjoin?) Thank
you |
