Hi Guys,
I have the following scenario, please advise if it could be done with WinServer 2008 virtualization.
I wanna Build A Virtual Machine containing WinXP - VS 2005 - SQL 2005.
I want to run it on Virtual PC on installed under win server 2008.
I want to share the Virtual PC software through terminal services web access,
So the developers will use it to access the Virtual machine I already created like it was installed locally on there machine. and they will work simultaneously like if
each one of them have the VM running locally.
So is this scenario possible.?
Thanks.

Thx BSchwarz,
one more thing, every Developer will have he's own instance of the VM,
I mean if one developer "dev1" created a word document "word1" inside the image and the scd developer 'dev2" created an excel "excel1".when the both shutdown the VM and at later time comes back, dev1 will find the "word1" on the VM without seeing excel1 of dev2.
It's like Windows vista centralized desktop but for Win XP.
Thx.

Any vm that you install will be it's own instance. Think of it as a seperate OS. You can install software.
When one of the devs works in his virtual OS any work done will be saved and available for him/her next logon. Each developers files would only be available to them unless you create a public directory accessible to all.

Man this is great.
From one VM each user could have he's instance and work on it.this is owsome.
Do you have any idea about the limitation, like number of user fo reach VM, amd how many VM could be hosted on a server, server hardware specification....
BSchwarz. IN a word "Thank you".

You'll need at least 256 of memory, 512 perferred for development environment per virtual OS. Depending on how much memory the server has determines number of OS you can run.For what you want to do I would recommend at least 8 gigs on the server and to run Windows 2008 x64.
