Vista - Run Terminal Server as VPC

07-30-2009

Hi friends, we have a W2k3 server with a fresh installation of Virtual
Server, can we run a Virtual PC (w2k3) on this Virtual Server that act
as Terminal Server? a Virtual PC running w2k3 can take advantage of my
Quad Xeon (multi cores)? or only will use 1 core?

In other hand, the Virtual Server is running on our DC, and the server
have 2 NICs (1 NIC for LAN traffic of DC) , so ...Is secure enough use
this virtual PC (acting as Terminal Server) with a dedicated NIC and
redirect external traffic (incoming WAN traffic and connection
request) to it? or my DC will be too exposed?

Thanks

HB

Virtual Server will only use 1 of the cores per VM.

If you assign one NIC to the VM, you can remove the TCP/IP components
on the host side isolating it from using the NIC the VM is using.
