Anyone tried running Citrix on this though, it's pretty bad. You really need
VMWare.

Subject: [THIN] Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 Migration Toolkit Available

I wanted to pass this information on.  Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 now
available has released a toolkit to "migrate" a physical server to become a
virtual server.

This will be the must have product until the next MS OS upgrade!

I have heard rumblings that MVS 2005 pricing will change and be much more
expensive along the lines of VMWare.  Now would be the time to pick it up
while the price is "CHEAP".

Get the migration kit at:

A free, downloadable tool for Virtual Server 2005, Virtual Server Migration
Toolkit (VSMT) simplifies the migration of an operating system and installed
applications from a physical server to a server running within a virtual
machine that is provided and managed by Virtual Server 2005. With Virtual
Server 2005, you can set up multiple virtual machines running different
operating systems and applications on the same physical computer.

You can use VSMT to create images of physical computers and deploy them in
virtual machines running on Virtual Server 2005. With VSMT, you can migrate
source computers running the following operating systems to virtual machines
in Virtual Server 2005:

*        
Windows NT 4.0 Server with Service Pack (SP) 6a, Standard and Enterprise
Editions

*        
Windows 2000 Server SP 4 or later

*        
Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP 4 or later

*        
Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition

Note: VSMT is intended to be used by IT professionals and consultants and
requires use of a combination of native and add-on tools for Windows Server
2003. Users of VSMT should have proficiency with Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP), PXE, and Windows Server 2003 Automated Deployment Services
(ADS). Additionally, you must have knowledge of the operating system that
you are migrating, some scripting knowledge, and knowledge of the legacy
hardware environment from which you are migrating.
