Guest Markus Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 I have a vb app I would like to test running on server 2003 using terminal services to check the performance and reliability, and to see if I need to tweek the app any to allow it to run better using TS. I see where MS provides a trial version of server 2003, but am not clear on how I should download this. That is: - Should I be looking at the Virtual Server option, and am I correct in that this option will allow me to download what I thnk is a pre configured installation of server 2003? - Does this simplify my task of getting a test environment up, or do I just do a standard install of server 2033? - Will this also allow me to run XP on the same machine I will run the server 2003 on just by rebooting into a different os? To recap, I believe I must: - download and install virtual server 2005 - download and install the trial version of server 2003 installed onto virtual server so that I can use the same computer for running xp if I need to. - then setup TS and my app on server 2003 and start my testing. Do I have this right? Appreciate any help anyone can give. Am a novice to setting up servers, so details will be very helpful. Thanks, Mark
