I would like to develop applications for SBS2003 and install it on my laptop
with Virtual PC 2004. Has anyone done this type of installation? What
problems are likely to show up? How to handle not having internet access, or
internet access via wifi connection to a cable broadband?

Thanks.

Dan

I've got it installed on my laptop and my desktop under VPC.

Laptop install took forever despite it being 2.6GHz & 1 Gig of mem.

Desktop install was a bit quicker but not by much. Works ok when
installed a but a bit slow for me. This might be fixed by SP1 but I
havent tried it yet.

SBS2000 on the other hand flies under VPC

In the VPC settings, you can configure it to use both of your network
cards in the SBS session (your laptops built in wired port & your
wireless port). You should have 2 nework cards show up in your SBS
session and you can configure your wireless card as the external
interface for internet access.

I've performed many installations of SBS into VPC, Virtual Server and
VMWare, though slightly slower than an install onto real hardware I've seen
no significant issues.

Unless you wish to allow seperate physical machines to become members of the
SBS domain I'd set the VM to use a virtual NIC as the LAN for SBS and give
it a 2nd NIC logically connected to your wifi.
