Can a virtual PC join a domain?
in [Virtual PC]

From: BGCSOCAL on 21 Jan 2010 11:47 Oracle says that they are not going to produce a 10g client for Windows 7. I have a new application that requires this version. I set up a virtual PC to run in XPMode. Part of the application works and another part gets a logon error. Why surveying the event logs of the servers today I saw that the XPMUser of domain VIRTUALXP-28481 has a logon failure. The timing is during the time I was testing the XPMode stuff. My question is can I join an XPMODE virtual PC to the domain? If yes, I assume that I would add a domain user XPMUser and give it some password. Is that correct? If you can't join the domain, what do you do? If I don't reply immediately it is becuase I ahve stopped getting replies. Thanks -- Bettie

Yes, or use another user... -- Bob Comer On Thu, 21 Jan 2010 08:47:01 -0800, BGCSOCAL <BGCSOCAL(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: >Oracle says that they are not going to produce a 10g client for Windows 7.

From: Bill Grant on 21 Jan 2010 17:28 As Bob pointed out, you can change the password or you can set up a new user with a different name and password. You can also change the machine name if you don't like VIRTUALXP-28481. There is nothing magic about virtual machines or XP Mode. Once you have installed it, it is just another machine running XP.

Once you have >installed it, it is just another machine running XP. Yup, as I found out once when running a Win 2000 no SP VPC session on my laptop about five or so years ago at my aunt's house. She had no firewall system. I saw this bizarre screen coming up and I thought "Wow, that's Windows messenger spam. I've never seen one before" (Not the same as MSN/Live Messenger) Then I realized that there are viruses that hit non firewalled Win 2000 systems with no SPs. I quickly unplugged the cable. And yes that Win 2000 VPC had three viruses on it. All within 10 minutes of starting it up.

From: BGCSOCAL on 22 Jan 2010 11:23 Thanks to you all. So to be clear, I'm testing on my workstation, so I could join the domain. then logon as the original XPMUser and go back to settings and change the logon to my domain logon account? Awesome!! Thanks again. -- Bettie "Tony Toews [MVP]" wrote: > "Bill Grant" <not.available(a)online> wrote: > > > There is nothing magic about virtual machines or XP Mode.
