Installing VMWare Server on Windows 2003 R2
Ran into a couple snags trying to install VMWare Server 2.0 onto Windows Server 2003 R2 today, and figured I’d share in the workarounds:
First issue was an error when trying to launch the setup program: «The System Administrator has set policies to prevent this installation.» Hm. I’m the system administrator, and I don’t recall setting any such policies.
Happily, Jason Boche — a VMWare Virtualtization Evangelist — wrote a blog entry which explained a simple fix. Apparently this is part of Windows 2003’s new «high security» mode, and I suppose I can’t fault Microsoft for it… much.
Jason’s solution is thus:
- Click Start
- Click Run
- gpedit.msc <enter>
- Drill down to Computer configuration
- Windows Settings
- Security Settings
- Software Restriction Policies
- Security Settings
- Windows Settings
- Right click Software Restriction Policies
- Choose Create New Policies
- On the right hand side, right click Enforcement
- Choose Properties
- Down below, choose All users except local administrators
- Click OK
- Close Group Policy
- Open a Command Prompt
- Run the command gpupdate /force <enter>
- When local group policy is finished updating, re-run the VMware Server 2.0 setup
Worked like a charm. Thanks, Jason!
Second up was once the install started running, I got stymied with «Error 1718: File c:\windows\installer\randomstring.msi was rejected by digitial signature policy.»
According to Shawn Bass’ blog, there’s an issue with the WIndows Installer engine and big MSIs. Microsoft has made a hotfix available which, after a reboot, took care of things.
Windows 7 and Window 2008 R2 in Virtual Disk
Instalar Windows 7 o Windows 2008 R2 en disco VHD
Probemos los sistemas mencionados sin instalarlos fisicamente, Algo asi como el Wubi para Ubuntu.
Con esto crearemos un archivo VHD en nuestro disco bajo NTFS y instalaremos allí dentro este sistema usando todo el hardware de nuestro equipo.
para ello booteamos con el CD de Windows 7 o Windows 2008 R2, y antes de llegar al paso de elegir disco a instalar presionamos SHIFT+F10, Con esto accedemos a la consola.
Allí hacemos uso de la herramienta diskpart.
diskpart
create vdisk file="c:\prg\Windows200800.vhd" maximum=20480
Podemos aqui crear en cualquier disco o partición solo mirar bien dónde, aqui estamops creando en C:\PRG un disco de 20 GB dinámico, luego:
select vdisk file="c:\prg\Windows200800.vhd"
attach vdisk
exit
Y salimos de la consola con
exit
Luego elegimos para instalar el sistema en DISCO 1 o el que veamos cuyo tamaño es de 20 GB.
Con esto tendremos listo nuestro WIN 2008 para testeos en esta partición virtual.
