Well, that is interesting and "perhaps" good news. I have a host of 64-bit Win 7 and a guest of 64-bit Win 2008 Server Standard. I am working on the initial installation and in the midst of downloading and installing updates I have gotten a message from the guest OS telling me that the disk space is running low. In other words, it now appears to be maxing out to the initially designated size of 15 Gb. Right now it has about 120 Mb left on it, and I am hesitant to let it go much lower. Do yours grow indefinitely large or is there a limit, which you set at the initial creation of the VM? How low do yours normally get before they increase? Do you ever get warned about low disk space? Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
