Tim, Do you know if this VHD already had the extensions for Virtual Server installed? I only ask as instead of running it in my Virtual Server I am thinking if running it in Hyper-V instead. I have just migrated 2 VM from Virtual Server to Hyper-V and those extensions cause issues, as do the network cards installed.
