In the next step, create a new virtual hard disk, choose a hard disk type and allocate space.
A bridged network is also more useful for emulating a domain environment to connect the server with virtual client operating systems. When configuring network settings, choose NAT or bridged networking to make sure that the virtual machine is able to connect to the internet. I would recommend allotting not more than half of the system memory to avoid instability and crashes. Select the amount of memory of virtual machine.
Next Specify the number of cores to allot to the virtual machine, make sure that you do not allocate all the cores as that can led to system instability. Make sure that the partition you use should have at least 20GB of free hard disk space. Specify a location to save your virtual machine. Note: you can leave the product key blank and proceed in case you wish to evaluate server 2008 or activate it later. In the easy installation section, add a product key, name and password. Or select Windows Server 2008 in case you wish to install a 32 bit version. When selecting a guest operating system choose Windows Server 2008 圆4. In the next step select an installation device (e.g. In the hardware compatibility section select version 6.5-7.0. To get started, open VMware, click on the New Virtual machine option, select Custom (Advanced) and click Next. Without configuring this option, VMware will not recognize your hardware as 64-bit capable. For enabling virtualization on this machine the steps are as follows: restart system, press Esc, select F10 and enable virtualization. We performed testing on a HP G62 core i3 system.
Before installing the virtual machine, make sure that virtualization is turned on (from the bios) on your system. While a significant part of my time was spent on being able to get VMware to recognize my hardware as 64-bit, another half was spent on getting other configurations right. After more than 9 hours of trial and error I was finally able to get the process right and install Server 2008 R2, as well as configure it according to my liking. When I first attempted to install a 64-bit Server on VMware and Virtual Box, both of them gave me an error that the software was unable to recognize the hardware as 64-bit capable. Note: These instructions can also help in the installation of the 32-bit version of Server 2008. In this post we will tell you how to install Windows Server 2008 R2 圆4 on VMware 7.0. In the initial days of virtual machines, this was in fact not even possible.
Installing a 64-bit operating system on virtualization applications has never been free of obstacles.
