Trying to configure WDS on Virtual Windows 2k8R2 in VMWARE 8.


Recommended Posts

I am having a problem and hopeing someone can halp.

Problem: I am trying to configure a test lab to test out WDS on a Virtual Windows 2008R2 server.

My virtual network is as follows:

Im using VMWARE 8. I am running a virtual network that is isolated from my physical network. Host-Only

Virtual Server 1. IP: 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0 OS: Windows Server 2k8R2. Configured as DHCP Server, DNS Server, ADDS Server.

Virtual Server 2: IP: 10.0.0.3 255.255.255.0 OS: Windows Server 2k8R2. Configured as WDS Server. Its joined to the domain and WDS is setup to multi-cast when 3 computers connect.

The 3 virtual clients

WEB1, TS1, and MEDIA1.

What is happening. When i start the 3 client virtual machins it appears everything is working fine, they start the PXE process DHCP assigns them IP addresses 10.0.0.4 through 10.0.0.6, they boot up from boot image file on Virtual Server 1. The problem I am having is that when it asks me to login into the DOMAIN. I login as follows globomantics\administrator with my password but it doesnt recognize the username and password. I think I have tried everything to resolve this anjhd cant figure it out. I have an admin account on my server in fact I joined the WDS server to the domain using that account. I am able to ping both computers. I checked DHCP and DNS. They appear to be working normally. Not sure how to resolve this.

Thanks, good though. I checked the permission and the nfolder wasnt shared so I went ahead and shared it but it didnt have any effect. Same issue its like its not recognizing the account username or password.
