Body: I recently upgraded my laptop OS from WinXP x86 to Windows Server 2008 x64. My laptop is a Dell D620, and is a dual core 64bit machine, and since we’ve been told that SharePoint 2010 will be 64 bit only, I figured now was as good a time as any to make the jump to 64 bit and get familiar with HyperV rather than Virtual PC or Virtual Server.. So I am now in the process of building a 64 bit MOSS VM. I did an install of Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition as the guest OS, installed the Hyper V integration services, and had to force the guest OS to detect the Hardware Abstraction Layer by using msconfig’s advanced options. I then ran Microsoft Update to pull down a large volume of updates. Next, I gave it a static IP address and made it use itself for DNS lookup even though it was not yet a DNS server. Then I used a simple answer file to turn it into a domain controller in its own isolated forest. The answer file: [DCINSTALL] InstallDNS=yes NewDomain=forest NewDomainDNSName=demo.local DomainNetBiosName=demo ReplicaOrNewDomain=domain ForestLevel=3 DomainLevel=3 DatabasePath="C:\Program Files\ActiveDirectory\DB" LogPath="C:\Program Files\ActiveDirectory\Log" RebootOnCompletion=yes SafeModeAdminPassword=YourPasswordHere...
