Virtual PC 2004 & Project Server 2003

[Rolly Perreaux]

Hi Mike,

With 512 MB RAM you can still create/work with 2 Virtual PCs quite easily if
you're using these images for demo purposes and code development.

Create one VPC for your Project Server with 320 MB RAM
Create the other for your Windows Client with 192 MB RAM

Good Luck

Okay...Looks like I only have 512MB of RAM. Can I still succesfully and
efficiently do a one server deployment? Or will I have performance issues
due
to lack of memory?
Please assist.

Yikes. While it would be technically possible I have never had good
performance with VPC with less than 1gig of RAM on the host machine. I
would do my best to get some more RAM.

Yes you can deploy PS 2003 easily on one server with 512MB.

I'd suggest if you can at least disable extra services on your virtual OS &
on your host OS as well. That will free up some memory.

Can someone please walk me through the process for setting up the client,
application and database tiers on Windows Server 2003 only through a Virtual
PC machine?

Thanks.
