In a previous How do I... blog post, I wrote about installing Windows 2008 server core. I am really fascinated with this server core piece and I decided that it would be very cool to write about configuring Virtual Server 2005 to work in server core.

NETDOM renamecomputer ¿mputernameò0/newname:vshost
