Met BGInfo kun je een achtergrond creëren met daarop systeem informatie. Zoals het plaatje hier beneden weergeeft.

Zo kun je in een opslag zien hoe de Server of PC heet wat het IP-adres etc. is.

VMWare: Install VMWare Tools on Windows Server 2008 Core


 

Ik zag de volgende post op de blog van Mike Laverick: http://www.rtfm-ed.co.uk/?p=451. In deze post word door Michael Maher word uitgelegd hoe je de VMware Tools kunt installeren in een Windows Server 2008 Core VM.

“For those unfamiliar with Server Core it is a command line only version of Windows Server 2008 (formerly Longhorn). I have been trying to install this on ESX 3.0. On the GUI version of Windows 2008 server, VMWare tools must be installed to get the NIC working. Server Core however is command line only. VMWareTools is a GUI installation so this is not an option for Server Core. The workaround is to transfer VMWareTools (contained in a file called windows.iso) from your ESX server to a local drive. This can be done using Winscp. Use Virtual Center to mount the windows.iso file as a CDROM drive in the Server Core VM. The driver files are located in \Program Files\VMWare\VMWare Tools\Drivers\VMXNet\w2k of the windows.iso file. The command used to install the drivers is

C:\Windows\System32>pnputil -i -a vmxnet.inf
Microsoft PnP Utility
Processing inf : vmxnet.inf
Successfully installed the driver on a device on the system.
Driver package added successfully.
Published name : oem2.inf

Next check the installation of the driver. Vmxnet should be displayed near the end of the list.

C:\Windows\System32>driverquery
ws2ifsl Winsock IFS driver Kernel 18/04/2007 04:52:40
vmxnet VMware Ethernet Adapte Kernel 22/04/2006 23:13:11

You can then enable remote access of Server Core with the command.


netsh advfirewall set allprofiles settings remotemanagement enable

To disable the firewall.
netsh advfirewall set allprofiles firewallpolicy allowinbound,allowoutbound”

In post word ook nog verwezen naar een ander blog van Justin Campbell. Daar vind je nog meer info over Server 2008 Core: http://cmsjustin.blogspot.com/2007/09/windows-server-2008-core-not-what-i-had.html

Echter volgens deze how to: http://blogs.technet.com/jhoward/ heb je de 64Bit versie nodig als je met Viridian wilt gaan spelen.

Ik hoop een deze dagen een how to te posten over hoe je viridian in een Workstation VM kunt installeren.

Microsoft: Windows Server 2008 Virtualization Screencast


 

Keith Combs heeft een screencast gemaakt over de nieuwe feature Windows Server Virtualisation die nu in beta bij de RC0 van Windows Server 2008 meegeleverd word.

Windows Server Virtualisation komt nog lang niet in de buurt van VMware ESX en XEN maar het ziet er op zich wel gelikt uit.

De webcast kun je hier downloaden of live bekijken: http://blogs.technet.com/keithcombs/archive/2007/09/13/windows-server-2008-screencast-virtualization-10-minute-tour.aspx
