machead5678 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hello, I just downloaded Windows Server 2008 Enterprise VHD (Virtual PC Hard Disk) from Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...ang=en#filelist) I added it to my virtual PC list and it has only a blue desktop. Thank goodness though that I could use task manager and run. Task manager's process tab had no explorer.exe in the list. I think that is the problem. Thanks, Machead Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/112166-explorerexe-problem-with-windows-server-2008-enterprise-vhd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyVirus Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 what you are saying is that your explorer.exe is not running??? if so press ctrl+alt+del go to the left tab and down in the right corner the will be a button called "new task..." press it an write "explorer.exe" and press enter. there you go now it will run and if not your install is corrupted...

machead5678 Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 I downloaded Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 from the Microsoft website. When I go to the administration panel, it does not prompt me to log in. Any ideas? -machead Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/112166-explorerexe-problem-with-windows-server-2008-enterprise-vhd/#findComment-812555 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvangent100 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Make sure windows authentication is enabled for IIS, otherwise add it using add/remove programs, how to do this depends on the OS you are running, it's a little different for Vista as opposed to XP.

machead5678 Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 Realised the problem I was not a system administrator. I think the problem is that I forgot the RTM and I only downloaded the ServerCore. Will try download today. Thanks everyone that posted. -machead Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/112166-explorerexe-problem-with-windows-server-2008-enterprise-vhd/#findComment-813719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
