I'm evaluating Windows Server 2008, and (as usual with new releases) I'm testing it in a virtual environment, using VMWare ESXi. But I'm stuck with a problem: since Windows 2008 doesn't support parallel SCSI disks for clustering anymore, I'm unable to simulate shared storage in virtual machines, so I can't test failover clustering configurations. I of course can't use real hardware for t... 2 12/22/2008 12:29:50 AM NLB across subnets Ok so here is my dilema. I have two terminal servers on different subnets (different locations).

Just creating a new dependency service that runs a .bat file with sleep in it doesn't work. The cluster sees the batch file as started and just starts the other service while the batch is sleeping.
