Windows 2000 Installation Guidelines
Windows 2000 server versions can be installed in a virtual machine using the
corresponding Windows 2000 distribution CD. Before installing the operating system,
be sure that you have already created a new virtual machine and configured it using
the ESX Server Virtual Machine Wizard.
Note: Some Microsoft Windows 2000 disks included with new computers are
customized for those computers and include device drivers and other utilities specific
to the hardware system. Even if you can install this Windows 2000 operating system
on your actual computer, you may not be able to install it in a VMware ESX Server
virtual machine. You may need to purchase a new copy of Windows to install in a
virtual machine.
Windows 2000 Installation Steps
1. Before starting the installation, use the VMware Management Interface to verify
the virtual machine’s devices are set up as you expect. For example, if you would
like networking software to be installed during the Windows 2000 installation,
be sure the virtual machine’s Ethernet adapter is configured and enabled.
If you plan to install the guest operating system from a physical CD-ROM disc, be
sure the CD-ROM drive is connected to the virtual machine.
2. Insert the Windows 2000 CD in the CD-ROM drive.
3. Power on the virtual machine to start installing Windows 2000.
4. If you enabled the virtual machine’s Ethernet adapter and selected the vlance
driver, a VMware PCI Ethernet Adapter is detected and set up automatically.
If you enabled the virtual machine’s Ethernet adapter and selected the vmxnet
driver, you need to configure the guest operating system’s network adapter
when you install VMware Tools.
VMware Tools
Be sure to install VMware Tools in your guest operating system. For details, see
Installing VMware Tools and the Network Driver in the Guest Operating System on
page 73.
Note: After you install VMware Tools, you need to change your Windows 2000
screen area to be greater than 640x480 pixels; otherwise, Windows 2000 uses the
standard VGA driver and your performance suffers.
