Diary of a Bad Golfer

I recently got around to installing Server 2008 on ESX again, I had installed an earlier build before and had to do a number of things to get it installed (load drivers during setup etc). 

Build 6001 installed fine, the only catch I had was I initially set the type to Windows 2003 Enterprise and once the installation was complete and I installed VMware Tools, it wouldn’t launch until I would go to “End VMware Tools” weird… The fix for it is to set the type to Windows Vista, then install VMware Tools.
