Windows Server 2008 on VPC (Host: Win 7)? - windows-server-2008

Is it possible to test Windows 2008 server via VPC when my host of a Windows 7 machine? I don't see anywhere where it says this is possible? The only VPC images (Windows 2008 R2) that I download from Microsoft state that the host machine must be Windows 2008. Is there an alternative?

Guess I got my answer here - http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/virtualization/q-does-windows-virtual-pc-in-windows-7-support-64-bit-guest-oss-.aspx
Virtual PC in Windows 7 does not support 64-bit guest OSs which is what Windows 2008 Server is :(

It is not possible. Windows 7 simply does not know about all things that are available in Windows Server 2012 and beyond.

Connect to SQL Server 2000 without installing connectivity tools

I am using 2 machines.
Windows server 2003 with SQL Server 2005 (default instance) MySrvName" and with SQL Server 2000 (named instance) MySrvName\SQL2000
Windows 7 with VS 2010
LAN (works fine)
When I connect to SQL Server 2005 it works fine from win7 and win 2003 but when I try to connect to SQL Server 2000 via win7 it says
The server was not found or was not accessible
This instance (SQL2000) is working fine from Windows server machine. I have tried disabling all firewalls (default of windows).
In 2002-3 I used to have same issue which I used to resolve by installing MSDE/connectivity tools. Is there a way to resolve without installing anything? Or any single file to install these connectivity tools from?

Windows 8 Hyper-v - enable networking and remote connection

I have a vhd file, I need to enable networking and remote connection on it. On the vhd is installed Windows Server 2008 R2 and SharePoint development platform, VS 2010 ...
My laptop runs Windows 8 x64 Hyper-v. I can run the vhd into the hyper-v and works great, no problem. But I have no idea about hyper-v configuration and settings.
I want to desktop remote connect (from Windows 8) to the vhd file running Windows Server 2008 R2 (domain contoso.com) but I don't know how to configure the hyper-v to allow the network connection ... if I start the remote desktop connect on my Windows 8 and type the server name or domain\server ... it doen't work.
Any idea how to configure the hyper-v so I can have internet access in the VHD and connect to it using remote desktop connection?
I am guessing you are using a Wi-Fi connection on your laptop. Hyper-V does not automatically use wi-fi connections, since it's a server technology and all.
But there are ways - here's an article from a MS dude explaining how to use a switch to bridge your wi-fi.

How to use Terminal Services EasyPrint from a Server 2003 client

I'm trying to get EasyPrint to work from workstations running Windows Server
2003, connecting to a Server 2008 TS pool.
I noticed that there is a RDP 6.1 client for XP clients. I couldn't get that
to install on the Server 2003 box.
I was able to install RDP 6.0 client for Server 2003. However it appears
EasyPrint isn't actually working in this case, as we are seeing that printers
without local drivers are not being redirected to the remote desktop.
Information on the web on this topic is somewhat conflicting. Is what we
are trying possible? If yes. Any suggestions on how to get it to work
from a client on a Server 2003 workstation?
