Setting Up Virtual PC on XP
Posted on March 29th, 2006 by humancamcorder
My personal project this summer is to setup a bunch of virtual pcs on a windows xp computer running virtual pc. These virtual pcs would be as follows: Windows 2003 Domain Controller, Exchange 2003, SQL 2005, Live communications Server and CRM.
As i encounter the problems along the way, i will record these as comments

Sluggish even on a 1gb memory computer. Also, the mouse pointers can not go past the windows edges once you log in.
Solution : apply the Virtual Machine Additions found in the top menus Action/Install the Virtual machine additions.
Results in faster and more responsive virtual pcs
Problem: After joining one virtual pc to the domain controller, and trying to log in, i will get the error that there was an invalid data in the domain or SID info with the trusted…
Solution: found this in google!

Are you using a clone/copy of a virtual machine that is already part of

Either way, you”re better off giving the system a new SID with either
sysprep or newsid.
What is sysprep?

NewSID from Sysinternals (third party)

Then you can (re-)join the domain.
