I'm having an issue which may or may not be related to running on 2008
server/and / or as a virtual server..

We have sharepoint 2007, successfully running on 2008 server under virtual
server 2005...

Every once in awhile, the 2008 virtual server crashes... if i go into
virtual server to view its screen.. it still shows a log in screen, but its
"locked up".. no blue screen.. my only choice is to "reset" the 2008 server
and its back up and running..

I check event logs but cant find any useful info..

Has anyone run into this either on a Sharepoint 2007 server with 2008
(physical) or virtual environment?

I havent activated the 2008 server yet, not sure if this has anything to do
with it.. I also wasnt sure which activation method was the best choice here
either.. i hate to have to dedicate one machine as an activation server, was
thinking of doing the old style activation via the command line.

Thanks

I'd suggest you un-install Virtual 2005, re-install 2008 and use its Hyper-V
