How to run Python scripts on Microsoft
Virtual Server 2005

Host Computer

From your host computer you need to enable the default impersonation level of your host operating system. This is accomplished by choosing administrative tools/component services from the start menu or control panel, depending on the operating system you are using.

Once you have the component services dialog box up, click component services. A folder named computers is now displayed in the right panel. Open the folder and right-click my computer. Select the default properties tab and check the box to enable COM internet services on the computer. Select impersonate from the default impersonization level box at the botttom.

Virtual Server

Once you have Virtual Server 2005 opened you will now need to enable virtual server scripts and VMRC. This is accomplished by selecting server properties in the lower-left panel of Virtual Server 2005. From server properties, check the box to enable Virtual Machine Remote Control (VMRC).

Finally, in the Virtual Server scripts, enable both scripts attached to the server and scripts attached to virtual machines running on the server
