I am primarily a .NET developer working in biometric and video processing technologies. I have past experience in enterprise architecture, application integration, system administration (Windows/Linux), running an ISP, and was once a pretty good C/C++ programmer.

What options do I have to clone a physical server as easily as a virtual machine? Thanks for the advice! These servers are bought (or would be bought) specifically to run our application, almost like appliances, so we have a lot of say on the OS configuration. I agree that improving the installation process would help a lot. I was just curious if it was even possible to take a server you had built from MSDN and then buy a retail license and convert it. But this is not a licensing site, right? :) |

What options do I have to clone a physical server as easily as a virtual machine? You may well be right. The only (slight) downfall is virtualization forces me to use multiple VMs (and multiple OS licenses) in order to fully utilize the resources of the machine. We want to keep that CPU busy :) |

R710 & MD1220 PERC questions We installed a PERC H800 in an R610 to hook up an MD1220, so I imagine the R710 is the same. |

Windows Server 2008 R2 grinds to a screeching halt during file copy operations Just to be clear, the file copies occur outside the VMs? I have used a configuration quite similar to yours without problems for test lab purposes. Obviously you don't expect server grade performance, but it does work. Our load is more CPU intensive than IO intensive though. :) |

Windows Server 2008 R2 Source IP Is IIS responding to requests on all IPs? |

Windows Server 2008 R2 Source IP The DNS thing is puzzling. I believe you can affect the order of the network connections by going into Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network Connections -> Hit Alt -> Advanced. Maybe try poking around there. Sorry not a real answer. |

Windows Server 2008 R2 Source IP I'm sorry - neither 44 nor 51 is in your list of IPs? Can you say what application, though I do not know if that matters? |

Anonymous access to SMB share hosted on Server 2008 R2 Enterprise I have performed this type of procedure many times. Some of your steps I don't have. The one thing I can think of missing is giving Everyone access to the share and file system. Does that help? |

vmware nat internet connection I'd say use the DNS your ISP provides. You can also use Google's 8.8.8.8? |

vmware nat internet connection Check the results of running ipconfig /all in a cmd.exe window. Does it have a DNS server set? If not, set one manually in the TCP/IP properties. |

vmware nat internet connection If you can ping Internet hosts by IP, perhaps you have a DNS problem? Not sure what exactly you mean. |

How can I improve performance over SMB/CIFS for an application that has poor write speeds? I believe the file is written sequentially. The server is either Windows Server 2008 R2 or a Synology NAS appliance. Network settings are more or less at default. I don't know of any temp files generated or anything like that. Not sure if that answers your questions. :) |

Performance tweaks and upgrades for VMWare Server 2 Devoting disks just to the build machine should definitely help. I remember adding an iSCSI-based disk to hold the build machine files and that helping somewhat. Good luck! |

Windows XP Professional will not save network credentials between reboots Good idea. One small wrinkle I have is that sometimes this machine needs to connect to the share over a VPN, so the share is not actually available until then. Maybe a shortcut or something on the desktop to remap? I will try this if I cannot get it onto the domain. |

Windows XP Professional will not save network credentials between reboots There is a reason, though one could debate whether it was a good reason. :) I will probably press the issue if nothing else works. |

What is the safest way to give anonymous read/write access to Windows file shares? In my particular case, I also needed to add the share to the policy for "Network Access: Shares that can be accessed anonymously". I think this may be because one client was a Windows service running as Local System. With setting the above policy, it could not access the share. |

How many SMART sector reallocations indicate problems? That is interesting, I had heard of that paper but I may need to re-read it. FWIW, 4 out of the 6 drives in my NAS have reallocated sectors. Thanks for the answer. |

iSCSI or NFS for Oracle VM shared storage? True! I have not had the privilege of trying out VMFS before. |
