Exercise 1.1

Creating A Windows Server 2008 Virtual Appliance

Overview

This lab assumes that you have the Active Directory Domain Controller and
Windows 7 Machines you created in NT1230 (Server##) stored on your hard
drive. You are creating a new computer virtual appliance with Windows
Server 2008 using VMware Player. Your first task is to create a new Virtual
Machine and install Windows Server 2008 Standard 32bit with appropriate
settings for the test lab network. This server will become a replica Domain
Controller for your test network.
