I am looking into using virtual servers for software testing. I would like to make a single PC a standalone environment. Here is the setup I was planning
Win2k3 / Longhorn - DC & VMWare Server Host
Win2k3 / Longhorn - Guest & Exchange
Win2k3 / Longhorn - Guest & company app
Win2k3 / Longhorn - Guest & company app
Are there issues with the configuration above?
I currently have a Longhorn box setup as a DC and I have installed VMWare Server. I created a Win2k3 guest. I am unable to join it to the domain. It returns unable to contact DC. From the guest ping by name resolves but times out, and ping by IP times out. Pinging from the host results in an unreachable. I am able to get from the guest and host to the rest of my network and internet.
