About setting up VMWare, on the host machine (W2K srv) what services need can be disabled and what should be taken into consideration as to the security of the host machine, also should the host machine be part of the domain, or logged on locally, Iam using VMWare GSX to consolidate servers in my network. Are there any good websites or references for the cofiguration of VMWare.
I just need general answers, enough to get my pointed int the right direction.

Of course, I am gonna say that www.wmware.com is where you should start for VMWare documentation!

As for domain membership, security, and needed services stuff, that is all normal server setup. Just because you are running a VMWare session to runa Win2K server, doesn't mean any of the rules are different. Just remember, a VMWare server IS a Win2K server. It is just all software. The same rules apply.
What will this server be doing? That will determine all of the other stuff.
