Virtual Server 2005 R2 is now available as a free download
Microsoft has just announced that Virtual Server 2005 R2 is now available as a free download. Even though I have been using and prefer VMware myself I still think this is interesting news. And for those people using Linux out there the news is even better as Microsoft also announced the Virtual Machine Add-ins for Linux as well. Now you still need Windows 2003 server as the host where VMware has the ability to use Linux as host as well. At a client we have actually used a single Linux host to simulate a network of Windows Server and XP machines with great success.
 
I guess the marketing offensive VMware started has it's effect :-)

Hi, I installed VS2005R2 on my Xp SP2 machine. After the installation, I am not able to access the Virtual server. I verified the Service status and its running. I get the following error when I open the Administration website. I verified the DCOM setting for the service which are set right.

Please let me know how to troubleshoot this issue.

Regards,

Phani

I am having the exact same problem with R2

I can access the master status page and see the server up and running in firefox. But not IE... any suggestions?

I was banging my head on this one too and then when you said that it opens in FireFox a little light went off.  Well not quite but I did actually say Aha!  What you need to do is add the Virtual Server site to the trusted sites list. Once I did that is worked. Go figure.

You also have to ensure you have removed Anomynous Access to the site.  That account doesn't have access to the Event Viewer.
