I successfully installed VS 2005 on a Win2003 server. I installed the
complete package to include the admin website.

I was able to connect to the admin website and connect to my VS on the same
platform. I installed Win 2003 std ed R2 and everything seemed to go normally.

Problem: when the Win2003 server starts on the virtual server the
"Cntrl+alt+del" window comes up. When I enter these keys the host system
reacts not the VS. The mouse works in the VS window but not the keys.

What is the solution?

Use Host+Del.

This would be (by default) the Right Alt key with Delete

More here:
Using the keyboard and mouse in a virtual machine

I'd also recommend installing the Virtual Machine Additions in your Guest
VM. This will make interfacing with the system much easier.

or better use mstsc to connect to your host
so you can use copy past from you host to your guest..
and you will have less possible keyboard failures.
