Hello Fritz,

Yes, it is possible to run Windows Server 2008 x86 inside of a VM of Virtual
Server.
I recommend to install the latest VM Addition inside of the VM.

Which wasn't what the original question was.

Fritz, how can you expect to run a virtual instance of Server 2008 on a
Server 2003 computer without having some kind of virtualization product
installed? You don't need Virtual Server, you could use VMWare or Virtual
PC for example but you'll need some kind of virtualization software
installed.

As far as I can see he is asking the following, but in difficult to
read words):

host: Windows 2003 server 32 bit
virtualization: Virtual Server 2005 installed on Win2003
guest: Windows server 2008

question: Is this possible?

It really depends on if Win 2008 has a 32 bit version or not (which I
don't know). Only 32 bit guests are allowed in Virtual Server 2005.

There is a 32-bit version...

Somehow my brain added an "out" after "with".

Which version of the VM Additions do you recommend?
