The first release of parallels server beta 3 said that this version still not autorized the mac OS X server virtualizing, but now, there is a new build of the beta server 4 (build 1990) that allow to virtualize mac os x server .

According some people, it seems to work fine, but don't hurry up on your keyboard, there's still a bad news , as we already knew, it's only on apple hardware, but it's also only on mac os x server's host, so you can't virtualize mac os x server on a mac os x client's host

I'm really disappointed because i really need mac osx server on my macbook pro



I'm sure there is a way to get ride of this, may be like we do when we change user agent of a web browser for example

Any ideas ??

Probably changing the "about this Mac" configuration file you can fool Parallels.

Search the forum there are several threads about it.

what is to stop you running server as the host? you could dual boot between client and server, that's what I willie doing cannot wait to try this

No i don't want running server as a host for a macbook pro. A laptop is by definition a client machine, the only way for me to install server operating system is to virtualize them (2003 server , linux, etc ..).
I'll take a look about changing the about mac config file

Hi there,

I want to install Microsoft Server 2003 using VMware on a Leopard server, doesn't anyone tried already ?

2003 and 2008 on my Macbook must have been a dream then.... x86 code is x86 code, regardless of what it says on the tin!
