With Microsoft® Virtual Server you can create and run one or more virtual machines, each with its own operating system, on a single physical computer. This Administrator's Guide is the core reference and consists of three main sections: deployment, operations, and technical reference. The following lists describe all the sections and give suggestions on what to read first.
Note that the information in the Administrator's Guide applies to both Virtual Server 2005, Standard Edition, and to Virtual Server 2005, Enterprise Edition, unless otherwise noted.
