Problems with Virtual Server 2005

Message:

I want to create a server/client virtual environment totally separate from
our actual network for practing with DNS, DHCP, AD, etc. There should be no
communication whatsoever between the two. I've installed Server 2003
Enterprise edition on one virtual machine already and I want install XP on
the other(as the client). But first I want to set up the 2003 sever as a
Domain Controller with all the services I listed before(DNS, DHCP,AD). I've
tried to run dcpromo but to no avail. How should I assign the IP's? How do
I create my own ficticious domain so I can mess around with this stuff
without interfering with our actual network? Please advise, I'm about to
lose IT! Thanks

It is a pretty straight forward process. You set the NIC in the server
vm to the internal virtual network and give it a static IP in its own
private IP subnet. Run dcpromo to create your DC with DNS, then install DHCP
and register it in AD.

When you set up the client vm, set its NIC to the internal network as
well and leave it at the default settings (ie obtain IP and DNS
automatically). The client will get its network config from DHCP just as it
does on a physical network when it boots.

The internal virtual network is isolated from the host and its physical
network.
