Proliant Virtualisation VMWare

GeorgeT_1 — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 07:59:04 GMT

I have Proliant ML 150 running CentOS (latest release) and VMWare Server.
I would like SBS 2003 Premium as the Guest OS, but installation does not complete due to "missing TCP/IP" networking. SBS fails to complete and complains it can't continue without configured TCP/IP and a working network adapter.
I tried loading winXP in another VM and it installs and runs fine.
What have I missed wih SBS 2003 Premium? Why can't it find its NIC card?

Do you have any NICs in Device Manager ?

SBS installs a regular Windows 2003 (R2) at first. At this point you need to install VMware tools before continuing with the SBS part.

Yes, seems that loading VMWare tools fixed that problem. now I get a little further.
Now fails on reading CD and loading "exchange".
Looks like some files are more than 9 levels deep (Help files).
Maybe I should create iso's from the original to overcome this one, other than not loading the help files.
