Creating a Windows Server 2003 File Server on a NAS That’s Being Used as a File Server...

Honestly, They should just call it windows <OS> Server Edition. instead of windows server xxxx

This NAS's virtual machine system is so bad. Synology's Virtual Machine Manager is way easy to use, and you don't have to do a bunch of extra stuff to connect to the virtual display. It just opens a new browser, and you use the system.

You could have plugged a keyboard and passthrough it to the VM

Extra MJDness would've been trying to make a network share of the disc drive on your host to the Nas to run the install cd from your host to the nas. Not sure if that's possible but it would've added a level of extra unnecessary things to go wrong

Dear god, I appreciate wanting to go through the experience blind, but at least learn how to use the tools first

It's Ctrl+alt+insert (or end) to force guest vm to Ctrl+alt+del

I remember doing Windows Media Streaming (multicast) server in my college dorm network.....

What about using this as a web server? Like your own site/store/business? Also maybe splitting resources between that and the remainder for a home media server, or even emulation machine? Can you even run Crysis, bro?!

Also, are you related to Druaga 1?

You could press ctrl + home to show the title bar as a navigable sub menu style and ctrl + a for the power options and for other shortcuts you can go on the preferences of virtual box

Why can't you just do that on a actual server that's not the Asustor Network Attached Storage box? Because you can just use Windows Server 2003 enterprise edition on a actual Microsoft computer (say the surface tablet (the original)) and yes I know you already did this video.

Needs to be default key + del

I am Hate VirtualBox

So In Fact Oracle VirtualBox Is Awful And Terrible

im baffled by the fact that a nas server can run virtual machines, i hate the fact my old ibm laptop cant install windows 2000 profesional

Man the menu bar disappearing and not knowing how to get it back. I’ve been there too many times 😂

Great video again. Cool to see old software and os’es again. Why? Just because we can!

Your menu bar sidequest was so funny I had to watch it twice

I love watching you fail
But even more I love watching you keep going

Also the double file server is a weird flex

Great

I use a sponsor blocker to skip your sponsorships like Skillshare. Who you have sponsored the most out of every others

The part you messed up the 50 GB and you typed 50 and it auto corrected to 50 MB that was funny

"Hey Michael, we heard Windows Server 2003 Enterprise likes file servers, so we made installing Server 2003 Enterprise for use as a file server as much a living hell as using PC Optimizer Pro and then calling tech support but they're operating somewhere in India or Bangladesh or something because they like tattletailing and hearing them say that they un[censored]ed your PC by deleting the MEMZ virus so you can have second thoughts about installing WS2003EE (Server 2K3 Enterprise) while trying to figure out how to pay for VMware Workstation or VMware Fusion. Trust us, it's a lot of fun! 😄"
Michael while Blindfolds File Corrupter 3002 Out-terprise Dis-Edition x23 runs on a highly unrecommended version of VMware but free and supports nearly but not as many versions of Windows, Mac, Linux, or BeOS, not to mention OS/2 as far as I know and using it as a slow, unsupported and lighter weight version of Windows XP than Windows Neptune:
I have no idea what you're talking about.
(By the way Server 2003 R's 1 and 2 don't have the Luna theme by default and Server 2008 BARELY supports the Vista Basic and Vista Aero themes. Had there been a Server 2011 (Windows 7 as a really, REALLY boring server OS) and it only had the Whistler (Windows XP's shinier and much more glass-shiny Luna theme) style, we wouldn't have such a predicament. But no, instead we'd have to enable it by using a registry editor tutorial or whatever. also if there was a port of the game boy advance sp theme or AeroGlass8.1 to modern versions of windows I would've tried it out right away no questions asked. Anyways, about Servers 2003 through 2008 R2.
Only kind of has the Windows Classic theme. Negative 2008 out of ten as a result)

Not sure if it will work with phpvirtualbox, but on regular VBox, you can modify the individual vm's settings and enable remote desktop, then use the builtin remote desktop in windows to access it. Maybe try that?

File server-ception

"it's fine" every IT guy ever

Right crtl plus f is fullschreen

virtualbox:
u need to right click the up arrow or press right control plus delete

The entire Linux thing and the command line confuses me. So great job doing that even though it was a bit hectic

Yea

imagine having 48 terabytes of storage but 4 gigabytes of ram 💀💀

michael for your next video, i want you to install windows 11 on virtualbox on macos on virtualbox on linux

this video turned 1 year old today

i was thinking more of a pxe boot thing where it sends you the os over the network to a physical computer

For reference if anyone gets lost here:
Host + Del (Right ctrl + Delete)
To enable the menu bar, go to Settings and click User Interface, and enable the check box next to the right of the menu bar.

Oh and Michael MJD You put your mouse over view and at the top of the bar it should say Full Screen

And can Irun it in windos?

Where did you get virtualbox?

You should have used qemu / kvm with virt Manager or just use the terminal

Back in the day, there was a tutorial online on how to turn Win2k3 into a workstation OS. I did it, and it was actually faster and more reliable than XP. That was when I feel in love with Windows 2003. To this day, I look back at that OS with nostalgia. I was mostly did gaming, and everything as far as I can remember ran smooth as butter.

my brain hurts

how about a Discord Server?

you can expand vhd

when u know all of the keybinds

You showed your ip lol

As someone who uses virtual box daily, him trying to figure out the shortcut to bring back the menu bar was painful to watch

VMware is so much better than virtualbox

Just google it damn
