On VMware Workstation I used Win 2k8 64bit Expermental template as is.
I pointed the cdrom to the location of the ISA rather than using a burned in cdrom (it loads faster that way)
I gave it a 60 gig harddrive
4 gigs of ram (this box has 6 gigs total, and another 1 gig is for a Virtual Vista)
Bridged NIC
Two processors and everything else plain vanilla
HyperV can be used and you have to use legacy nic. I’ll see if I can steal a post from Charlie Russel on the HyperV how to.
But that’s the basic vmware workstation setup that I did to run SBS 2008 on a virtual setup.

Wow nice VM set up ! how does the SBS2008 server perform ? just curious !
About installing SBS2008 on Hyper-V.
I installed the Integraion Components when the sbs installation stopped because a “no nic warning”
Rebooted and then the installation work fine.
So no need to use a legacy nic.
Hi, I am doing the same on a vista host, i have a error it tells me the nic isnt installed and cant continue? any ideas i have it set to bridged
I just tried setting up SBS 08 on VMware workstation but since it’s a 64 bit it will not work on any of my servers. Is there a workaround to this?
