Step #1: Make sure your are run Version 1.2.0b #1 of Lotus Foundations. Look at "Web Config" - "Software Update" - "Foundations Versions already installed " (took me twice to do this. I get the "did you reboot twice" message which makes no sense to me)
Step #2: Download Lotus Foundations Run 1.2 (lf-run12-7568) and VMWare server (lfrun-vmware20-7568 ). I down load the zip version, unzip on my Windows systems and then copy to the autoinstall folder on the server.
Step #3: Go to "Web Config" - "Software Update" - "Add on" and install. Pretty uneventful.
Step #4: "Web Config" - "Add Ons" - "Virtualization" tab - "Advanced Vitualization Settings". I was hoping to work more on this tonight but , for some reason the Advanced Virtualization Settings can not be accessed remotely.
Step #5: Set up a virtual machine. Don't know jack about doing this but think of it as picking features for a server (ie. how much memory, disk space, I/O stuff like USB). Mistake I made on my first go-round is not addind a CD/DVD drive. add that so you can mount an operating system ISO file to boot from.
Stay tuned, I'll keep working on this. Ping me at
Me@AlanK.net if you have any questions (or can help).
Also, I hope to create and ISO file that I can install on a VM session that is an exact replica of the Windows system I am trying to replace.
