Desktop virtualization is a must for techies. Serious tools for testing and running multiple workloads on your workstation. There are 2 main competitors in this space the first and most awesome is obviously VMWare. Virtualbox is the next best thing to run on Windows. Windows Virtual PC on the other hand does not even support 64 bit virtualization. Until Windows 8 comes out, virtualbox is your best free alternative. With Windows 8 Hyper-V is going to be integrated on the workstation versions of the operating system as well which is awesome, however main thing that lacks with hyper-v on the desktop is the integration features. One thing I loved with Virtual PC 2007 back in the day was its speed, sleeknes of its interface and the integrated copy paste and file drag and drop. This feature was removed for Windows Virtual PC and is also non-existent with hyper-v. Here is an idea actually to develop a drag and drop capable hyper-v connector, let me start working on that

DNS GlobalNames zone is a new feature introduced in Windows Server 2008 to the DNS Server service. GlobalNames zone or GNZ is used to provide single label name resolution to an Active Directory environment that is transitioning from WINS to an all DNS name resolution system. Names in the GNZ are statically configured CNAME records that hosts in any domain in the environment can query and access regardless of where they exist within the forest. This demonstration is the most comprehensive demonstration of how GNZ is configured and how it works for the client by simulating its use in a 2 tree active directory forest.

After the capture image is created, a Windows 7 client is prepped with the Sysprep tool and shutdown. The client is then booted into PXE to the WDS server and the capture image is selected. Once the image is captured it is uploaded to the WDS server.
