Virtualization Nation,

If you’re trying to run Virtual Server R2 SP1 on Window Server 2008 Beta 3, it does work. However, there are three steps for success. You need to:

1. Add the IIS role with the correct settings for Virtual Server.
   
2. Install Virtual Server R2 SP1.
   
3. Run IE elevated as an Administrator to access the Virtual Server Administration Page. To run IE elevated, right click on IE and select Run as Administrator. (BTW: If you don’t do this, IE will quit with an error. This is a known issue and a fix is being investigated.)
