How to configure Virtual PC 2004 to be a domain controller

Hi all,

I have Virtual PC 2004 running on Windows XP Professional and I have installed Windows 2003 for development purposes. Is it possible to configure guest OS to be an Active Directory Domain Controller and the host OS connect to the domain?

Thanks in advanced

yes..   agree with oB..  just create another Virtual OS and use it for logging into the W2K3 domain...    V PC 2K4 is a very neat program, but be sure you have plenty of RAM..  

20 minutes late on this one..  should have cked this area first thing this morning..  *grin*

i'm never use virtual pc, the software isn't realyl good in creating virtual lan(i'm not sure it can create virtual lan, cause i'm never success), vmware is the best, i'm testing active directory, dns, dhcp, and linux pdc, all using vmware...
