Hi Simon,

 

For the most part, Virtual PC and Virtual Server Virtual hard drivers
(VHD's) are interchangeable, with the exception of Extensions.

 

I've had no issues related to MOSS dev machines in Virtual Server
environments.

 

Cheers,

 

DB

This is what we have at the moment.

Do you have any experience hosting MOSS dev machines on Virtual Server?

Didn't make it. Stuck in Canberra.

Do you have the presenting material available anywhere?

Nothing interesting there.

Just outlines that Virtual Environments are supported but not
recommended for production.

have only skimmed it so i'm not sure if it mentions anything about
virtual environments and imaging (doubt it?)

Hi Simon,

I know that there is a white paper that MSFT put out a while ago that
covers "best practices" for SP development.

I will try to find it for you.

 

Cheers,

Aaron

All

I am curious to find out how people have set-up their development
environments for SharePoint.

ATM we have several developers. Each developer has their own virtual
machine (running locally) containing Win2003, SQLServer, MOSS, VS.Net
etc. 

Each developer is also in charge of the following

-ensuring they have the latest source of the project
-ensuring their virtual machine has the correct patches and service
packs
-ensuring that MOSS is setup and configure correctly
-ensuring they take snapshots of their VM if they are doing anything
that might break it

This is a large amount of overhead for every developer. I was wondering
how other people manage their environment.

Are there better was to do this using a server based virtual
environment? Perhaps each day a developer gets a new refreshed image
hosted on the server. When changes need to be made (window updates, MOSS
config etc) the base image is updated and the developers will get it on
the next day. If a developer breaks their image they can simply get a
new one.

Anyone know of Microsoft links that talk about this stuff?

Assume for this discussion that hardware is not an issue and both VMWare
and Microsoft are options. What do you see as the perfect dev
environment for MOSS?

Regards.

Simon
