There are a whole heap of virtual machine optimization tips - what tends to happen is that the host gets starved, or the disk gets hit too much. By increasing your virtual memory, you are actually going to probably see a drecrease as it will swap more memory to disk = this is where you will see most performance impact. It will keep swapping to disk, which will make your host's IO slower, and in turn make for a bad story with your VM.

My VM (using VMWare) is hosted on a Windows 2003 Server, P4 CPU, 3.2GHz with 2.87GB Ram. The VM has 1552MB RAM assigned, leaving over a gig for the host. I've been trying to work out a good mix of RAM to the VM and to the Host, but the performance just doesn't seem to change. The host has 40gb free space left on it. The VM is running SQL Server 2005, MOSS 2007 and Visual Studio 2005.

I generally do all MOSS development on a virtual machine which is running on an external harddrive, with at least 1gig allocated to it, and 1gig allocated to the host. It runs very nicely, and performance is not an issue. What type of machine are you developing on? Your other option is to install windows server 2003 on your development machine, and run everything locally - the same way as you would if you were to do it within a VM. You can do development on an XP machine, but it gets rather tedious. You need to copy the sharepoint assemblies from your windows server machine hosting WSS v3.0, and reference them in your projects. You can then set up post-build steps to copy the output into a mapped network drive or something similar, which goes directly into your moss box. But then you need to do a lot of switching between sessions to test your result. You also lose the ability to work with the WSS templates for visual studio, which will only function correctly on a windows server 2003 machine hosting WSS v3.0 locally.

I have SQL 2005, VS 2005, .Net 3, various VS extensions for Workflows and project templates, but I don't have MOSS installed and I don't want to install it on my dev machine (its running XP). I have it installed on a dev server that I want to deploy to. I have already been developing on the server using VS, but its remote access and hosted in a VM so very slow, so I'd prefer to use my dev box to do the dev work. Can I just install WSS 3.0? or is there some redistributable that I should install? In my projects I want to be able to reference libraries like Microsoft.Sharepoint, microsoft.sharepoint.WorkflowActions, microsoft.office.workflow.tasks, etc Cheers, David ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This communication may contain confidential information and/or copyright material of KAZ Group Pty Ltd ABN 25 002 124 405 and its related bodies corporate.
