Hi to All,

We are the first time trying this; we have used VMWare.
We looked up the site for the information relates to AD, but there is nothing of it. The situation is simple like this:
- Primary OS runs a server os like Win2K3 Interprise server with an AD domain.
- A Guest OS runs WinXP (client), Win2000, Win2K3 Server also.
Whether the guest os can be a member of the primary os domain?

Thx.

Maybe you could try the free dowload. There is nothing restricting you doing this but your knowledge of how to configure it....

sure..as long as you have networking configured correctly for the host and guest os' where they can all communicate you should have no problems

but as this is pre-release software, its definetly worth the free download and try it out to make sure it works as you want it to

ummm... The MAC version is beta, the WIndows/Linux is production - not pre-release, eh?

pinkcloud, seems there are no restrictions in that case, and your guest OS can work properly with AD at primary OS.
