Windows Server 2003 on VirtualBox Revision 3 posted to TechNet Articles by Dmitri Plotnikov on 7/31/2012 10:10:24 AM Virtualbox works well with XP as a host and then server 2003 as the guest. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, Macintosh and OpenSolaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4 and 2.6), Solaris and OpenSolaris, and OpenBSD.

I have a windows server 2003 box that I want to virtualize for free if possible. My understanding is that VMware's ESXi is free. Is there a free way to create the image? What are the steps necessary to do this?

You want to use either VMware Converter Standalone or Visioncore vConverter to P2V your current boxes. The process isn't all that difficult - you'll need to:

• Install ESXi on a decent brand-name server (not all white boxes are compatible).
• Install the converter of your choice on your workstation.
• Walk through the conversion.
• Power off the physical server.
• Power up the new Virtual server.

A few notes:

• The conversion is run completely from your workstation. This is important, because the better your workstation the faster the conversion. It's all about the amount of data, but a decent estimation is about 5-10 minutes per gig of data on the physical server. That might even be a little high actually.
• It's rare that a conversion is perfect. Generally, you will need to reconfigure the networking once you've powered up the virtual guest. If at all possible, I recommend the E1000 network adapter in the virtual machine - I've found that to be the most reliable. You get some goofy issues with the Flexible adapter, which I think is the default.
• Don't forget to install the VMware tools! These are a must for decent UI performance on the new VM guest.

I could go into much more detail, but really before you do any of this, hop into VMware's site and dig around for infomration in the knowledgbase and communities - there's a ton of good info up there.

I think that VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 4.0.1 is free (have to admit I've only used the spendy one sorry).

If you want to avoid future limitations due to not being able to run the full version, it might be worth checking out VirtualBox. It doesn't have VMWare's full feature set but it's free software, and provides the bulk of the functionality you'd look for: snapshots, adding/removing devices, mapping share drives, etc. That being said, I've never tried to convert a functioning physical server into a virtual machine of any variety, so I'm not sure how well it would work for your specific use case.

A thing to consider is the Windows 2003 license. As far as I understand, OEM licenses are NOT capable to run on a VM.

VirtualBox is free and enterprise-ready virtual machine platform that allows you to run other operating systems within Windows. Using VirtualBox you are able to install other operating systems into a virtual computer that can be launched and used directly within Windows. This allows you to run virtually any operating system at the same time while using Windows.

When using VirtualBox, the software is installed on the host machine and then any other virtual machines are considered guests of that host. These guest virtual machines can be running a variety of different operating systems that include older versions of Windows, linux, and even MacOS with some tweaking. Using a program like VirtualBox allows you to perform a variety of tasks from a single computer such as testing operating systems before you install them, run software that only works on older versions of Windows, analyze malware without risk of your normal machine becoming infected, and to develop software for other operating systems. It is also useful for running servers that need to be seperated but are not resource intensive enough to require their own machine.
