I am curious, what is the scenario that requires VS on Vista?

Hey Tony,

There is no scenario that requires VS on Vista as such, rather the scenarios for running VS on a client machine are really for non-production use, but essentially, you can still get many of the benefits found here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/virtualserver/evaluation/vsoverview.mspx, especially the software testing and development environment. Essentially, you could use Virtual PC, but Virtual Server gives you that bit more functionality.

Tony,

One scenario that requires VS on Vista is software development. I often need to move between client sites that have totally different dev env requirements. I do my development on VMs but want to upgrade my host machine.

I use VS on Vista for MCP exam simulations, learning about new features in MS Server products, testing scenarios, etc.

It is an invalueable part of my lab.

Mea... This may be a little off-topic. I use Virtual Server and Virtual PC a lot for things like testing

I have followed all of the above including the steps in the link but am still getting

LsaLogonUser() failed! There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request

Any ideas what this means and how to over come it?

Much appreciated

Simon

Hi Simon,

At what point are you receiving the error? Is it when you try and access the Virtual Server administration page? i.e. http://<yourservername>:1024?

If so, it could be something to do with permissions, but i'd need a little more information first.

Have you tried adding the http://<yourservername>:1024 page to your trusted sites in Vista?

This may help: http://www.windowsvistaweblog.com/2007/04/27/virtual-server-windows-vista-and-ie/ and this: http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2006/06/05/618547.aspx

Cheers,

Can you run virtual Server on Vista Home Premium?

I'm just about to start testing this, so bear with me and I'll blog it when I'm done.
