I have setup a virutal server and installed SBS 2008 using the migration
process. I created the answer file, setup a virtual fdd and installed SBS
2008. There were no indications of any problems at all until it completed.
A windows popped up and told me that the installation was finished and that
there were a few non-critical installation issues. I clicked to look at the
installation issues and there were 4 separate items
1. Exchange server 2007 cannot be installed.
2. Critical and security updates cannot be installed.
3. Incoming and outgoing e-mail for Windows Sharepoint Services are not
configured.
4. Incoiming and outgoing e-mail for Windows Sharepoint Services are not
installed.

When I click on the error, it tells me nothing except to contact Microsoft
Technical Support.

Any advice, direction or comments would be appreciated.

I've seen similar problems when installing SBS 2008 to a Hyper-V virtual
machine. The problem was caused by poor I/O of the of the disk system. Make
sure you are not using a dynamic vhd. If you are using SATA disks make sure
no other virtual machines are running that are using the same disk that the
SBS vhd is on. What are the hardware specs of the server and how is the
virtual machine configured?

It sounds like it didn't install properly. When you setup the virtual
server, did you insure network communication existed between the
virtual server image and the network prior to the migration, and that
the original SBS 2003 was online?

If the original installatiion is still intact, I would suggest to blow
away the failed SBS 2008 installation, and run it again.

There has to be more to it than just SATA performance. I have a single
Quad Core x64 server class motherboard with a single 1TB RAID 1 and run
SBS 2008, Win 2008, Win 2003, XP SP3 and Vista as children all at the
same time on that single hardware 1TB RAID-1.

Yeah but did you install SBS with all those other things running?
