You can install Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition, Enterprise Edition or Web Edition in a virtual machine using the corresponding Windows Server 2003 distribution CD.

1. Insert the Windows Server 2003 CD in the CD-ROM drive.

2. Power on the virtual machine to start installing Windows Server 2003.

3. If you enabled the virtual machine's Ethernet adapter, an AMD PCNET Family Ethernet Adapter is detected and set up automatically.

4. Follow the installation steps as you would for a physical computer.

After installing your guest operating system, you are ready to install VMware Tools as described in Installing VMware Tools.

For more information about using Windows Server 2003 guest operating systems, such as enabling networking in the virtual machine, see the VMware Guest Operating System Installation Guide, available from the VMware Web site or from the Help menu.
