When I install Windows 2008 server in Oracle's VirtualBox, and I need to re-install either or both, is there going to be a problem re-activating the Windows server? Must the VirtualBox version be the same? I would use the W2k08 install as the PDC for home and a WSUS, no other roles - any issues regarding that? Thanks!
Edit: Or, right after a basic config and activation of the Windows server should I use a snapshot, or save/export the VM and drop back to it when I need to? WSUS is the real important reason for the server, and I am not sure if this would make sense considering the amount of data involved. I am not a Windows expert, and so far I somehow managed to mess up every install I made with the eval versions.
Yes, I am going to try these with a Win7 license first, I have one but never activated it yet, so far I work with evals. I am also building the system around 2xRAID 1 with one identical spare on hand, so after activating the software I am going to pull one of the disks from the RAID and rebuild with the spare. When all else failed that should positively restore the licenses.
