I've currently got Virtual Box installed on Windows 2003 system and have successfully created a Windows 2003 Virtual OS and set it up as a DC. When I've tried to create another Windows 2003 Virtual OS it gets to the point where you choose what type of Windows server to install (Windows Enterprise or Standard etc.) When I choose an option it just freezes. Any ideas as I need this to work to study my MCSA and need several Windows 2003 Virtual OS's setup for different tasks.


Thanks in Advance...

You could have made one clean install of a Windows 2003 Server installation, then clone the VDI file as much as you need. Then boot the new VDI and run the NewSID application from MS to generate new machine IDs and rename the server.

Are you sure that you did everything the same as the first install?

Cheers for the reply. I'll do that as it sounds a lot easier than starting from scratch each time. I did do everything the same and it freezes straight after you choose the type of Windows 2003 server which is about 5-10 seconds into the install. I've checked all the settings and they seem to be fine. I think your method of cloning might be a lot quicker so thanks for the pointer...
