Ah well luckily it's just my test DC :)
There's another person in this list though, who just emailed me having
the same problem with ESX, since I'm not on VMWare team (sadly) I just
have to live with 2.1 temporarily...
Yeah could be a selling point for VPC against VMWare...but even VPC is
having problem (ha! No surprise there)..
Thank you and have a splendid day!

I can't speak to your error on ESX (I would guess the answer is get a
newer
version) but Virtual Server certainly isn't the solution at the moment.
Running SP1 on a guest in VS can result in extremely slow perf. Aric had
mentioned it here previously and I wasn't seeing it on my machines until
I
installed SP1 on my Virtual Exchange Server and bam, I saw the perf
issue in
spades. I have since heard that if you install the VS SP1 Beta 1 guest
bits
or the VPC SP1 guest bits onto the guest the issues will clear up though
you
can well understand that isn't supported by MS.
As a general statement though, this kind of thing makes you want to
smack
MS. It is just like the issue with coming out with XP but no admin pack
for
XP to admin AD only this one is far worse. Say a company has collapsed
their
physicals and use VS. MS puts out an SP and it is pretty critical for
you to
install but as soon as you do, your perf dies across the board. I can
see
there being issues between say VMWARE and MS in this regards, but it
shouldn't be occurring amongst MS products like that. How many people
have
to hold off upgrading their Servers to SP1 because they are running them
on
VS and can't afford the perf hit?

Heya all!
Been having this annoying problem since the start of SP1 RC, basically
when
I reboot the vmware guest domain controller (SP1) it goes to reboot
properly, then while starting up win2003 - it shutsdown instead.
Host is ESX Server 2.1.0 build 7728 (yeah its rather old)
VM events: Vmware ESX Server internal monitor error - Not implemented at
2182 (7728)
I have 5 of my guest test DC and so far I can confirm all are having
this
problem. Anyone else has anything like this happening? Before SP1 all
goes
well..
Perhaps this should be a selling point of Virtual Server? :-)
Thank you and have a splendid day!
