http://serverfault.com – We have 3 blade servers in which I am planning to install the virtual infrastructure. In blade 1 I plan to install Virtual DC which will be migrated from win 2003 DC to win 2008 R2, than file server will be migrated and DFS installed. I will include here also Virtual Print server, virtual Wsus server, Virtual Spiceworks server. In two other blades I am planing to install a fail over clustering feature and put SQL 2008 server, Sharepoint 2010 Server, Email server and a server for backup and testing purposes. Since I read a lot of recommendations that Clusters need a separate domain in order t (HowTos)

I need to set-up Lync on a Server 2008 machine. The problem is that Lync cannot be set up on a Domain Controller. That means I need to have one Server 2008 that's a domain controller and another that's Server 2008 running Lync.

I figured the best way would be hosting it on a single machine, using virtual machines.

I installed Server 2008, but now my question is this.

Is there a supported path of migrating a virtual machine running in Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1, to Hyper-V on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1? The guest is running a version of Windows Server 2003.

My company bought a Dell PowerEdge t710 server with:

48 GB ram 4x4 GB ethernet ports. RAID 5 for PERC H700 4 x 1TB, SATA, 3.5-in, 7.2K RPM Hard Drive (Hot Plug)

My job is to configure Hyper-V system infrastructure on this server.

I am running a virtual setup with vSphere, with two virtual machines, one running CentOS 6 and the other running Windows server 2008

The idea is to use LDAP to connect from the CentOS (as a client) to the Windows Server 2008 (as a server), and trying to access Active Directory from there.

There is a virtual switch between these two virtual machines, and both are running on the same subnet.

Specifically, I want to run this:

This download contains a three Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Hyper-V Virtual Machine set for evaluating and demonstrating Office 2010, SharePoint 2010 and Project Server 2010.

Our existing print server for our 8 printers is a Win 2003 server that is slowly being decommissioned. We want to move print services off this server but we want to move them to the right place. I don't want to make the domain controller a print server, nor do I want to use any of the other existing Windows Server 2008 R2 application servers.

basically I'm getting ready to install a MS Server 2008 R2 (Standard edition) onto a physical box (12 GB RAM AMD 6 core Phenom with + 2 TB storage) which will serve as a host for at least 1 and up to 3 virtual Linux server(s) at any one time. I'm comfortable on 2008 R2 but I'm not 100% confident in the backup solutions that I've been seeing in searches on various sites.

I have a virtual server hosted with a company called Memset. I'm running Windows Web Server 2008 IIS7 and I am currently hosting 6 domains. I just set up a virtual SMTP server (IIS6 obviously) which is now allowing me to send emails from my domains to the outside world.

I am not, as yet, running any kind of email server and don't have access to anything.

What is a Virtual Server? 2 years 43 weeks ago

There are many types of servers; everything from email servers, web servers and proxy servers to wow private server and backup servers. Virtual Servers are a hybrid of a dedicated server; one that is stand-alone and is usually used for one high traffic website, and a shared hosting type where many websites are hosted on one platform.
