Using an Answer file in Virtual Machine Manager
Posted on October 27, 2009, by Todd, under Virtualization.
I have rebuilt my Hyper-V server at the office and decided to try out Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) to manage my virtual machines on that host.

Installing Hyper-V Server
Posted on December 16, 2008, by Todd, under Hyper-V, Virtualization.
I installed Hyper-V Server a couple of weeks back. I decided to use the standalone server as opposed to installing Windows Server 2008 and adding the virtualization role. I really like how the Hyper-V Server was easy to install and the fact that the guest OS’s sit on top of the Hyper-V Server so there is no host OS that could get screwed up. Yes technically it shares the same kernel as Windows 2008 Server, but the fact you can’t do much with it really helps the stability.

Hyper-V Server Released
Posted on October 9, 2008, by Todd, under Virtualization.
Was talking with a friend a few nights back about how to dual-boot between Vista and Windows Server 2008. He was having some troubles with it so I suggested instead of Dual-booting, he should try and use virtualization product as his host OS and run his Client OS’s on top of it. Dual-boot I think is best for his situation, but if he was having troubles, virtualization might be the trick. Now I don’t have much experience with the VMware product, but I know they have something that will do this and I also mentioned Microsoft is releasing something along the same lines. I had saw a blog post about it a while back, but nothing else. I told my friend I would look for the information and pass it along when I found something.

I haven’t blogged in a bit. I’ve been busy selling my house and moving. Now that I am moved and things are sort of back to normal, I hope to spend some more time back on the blog.

Virtual PC 2007 available for download
Posted on February 20, 2007, by Todd, under Virtualization.
Just saw on Ben’s blog that Virtual PC 2007 is now available for download. I have been using it since it went Beta in October. I find it works fine and ran Windows Vista pretty good too. Of the new features, PXE boot is now supported which is nice to play with to learn WDS and the hardware support for virtualization is nice too.

NTBackup Doesn’t work with Virtual Server R2 SP1 Beta 2
Posted on September 19, 2006, by Todd, under Virtualization.
If you are playing with Virtual Server R2 SP1 Beta 2 and want to back up a running VHD file without stopping and starting the virtual machine, you will be able to, but not with NTBackup.No Comments
