Appendix A.1 – Copy Local Files to Virtual System
This appendix provides details for copying files from your local physical system to various Virtual systems.

How to gain access to local files in a remote desktop session to a Windows XP-based or to a Windows Server 2003-based host computer
[http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313292]
You can gain access to your disk drives on the local computer during a Remote Desktop session. You can redirect the local disk drives, including the hard disk drives, CD-ROM disk drives, floppy disk drives, and mapped network disk drives so that you can transfer files between the local host and the remote computer in the same way that you copy files from a network share. You can use Microsoft Windows Explorer to view the disk drives and files for each redirected disk drive. Alternatively, you can view the files for each redirected disk drive in My Computer. The drives are displayed as "drive_letter on terminal_server_client_name" in both Windows Explorer and My Computer.
To view the disk drives and files for the redirected disk drive:
1. Click Start , point to All Programs (or Programs), point to
Accessories, point to Communications, and then click Remote Desktop Connection.
2. Click Options, and then click the Local Resources tab.
3. Under Local devices and resources, click the More… button.
4. Expand Drives and select drive the USB Flash Drive the BootCamp folder is assigned to (e.g. H:)
5. Click OK button to return to Local Resources tab and then click Connect
When using local Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 image
Add a Microsoft Loopback adapter to the host machine, give it an IP address in the same subnet as the guest machines. Then tie the guest machines' adapter to the loopback adapter.
Option 1

Option 2
“The simple solution I've found is IsoRecorder ... this provides a Windows Explorer shell extension that enables a folder to be quickly converted to an ISO format disk image which can then be attached 'on the fly' to the CD Drive running within the VS virtual machine.”

Attach ISO file to the CD drive inside virtual server using options in the Virtual Server configuration
When using local Microsoft Virtual PC image
To
Option 1
Do this
Copy a file or folder to a virtual machine
Point to the file or folder on the host operating system to be copied, and then drag the file or folder to a location on the virtual machine.
Notes
• Dragging and dropping large files will cause Virtual PC to temporarily stop responding until the process is complete.
• As an alternative to copying a file or folder, you can use shared folders to make a file or folder available to both the host and virtual machine. For more information, see Share a folder between a virtual machine and the host operating system.
1. After the image has been started, return to Virtual PC Console and click the Settings button.
Option 2
If you haven’t previously selected checkbox to “Don’t show this message again”, the following Note will display:
Click OK button.
2. The Settings window displays:
3. Select the Shared Folders setting on left pane and click on Share Folder... button in right. The Browse for Folder window displays:
Expand the drive assigned to the USB Flash Drive and select the BootCamp folder. Make note of the drive letter assigned (e.g. Z, or alternatively you can select a specific drive letter).
4. Press the OK button and when you return to the Setting window, press the OK button.
Appendix A.2 – Troubleshooting Shared Services Issues
This appendix provides details for troubleshooting Shared Services Issues.
If Shared Services service does not startup, try to start the OpenLDAP service manually from the Services control panel. If it fails then it is possible that Shared Services is corrupt. To resolve this issue, shut down all services except the Oracle database, open Windows Explorer and go to c:\prods\ss\batch and run Repair_OpenLDAP.bat. Then restart Shared Services and test the login to Shared Services UI before starting other services.
If Shared Services does not start up even after running Repair_OpenLDAP script, shutdown all services except the Oracle database. Ensure that no process is connected to the Oracle database. If you are unsure of this, reboot the
machine and start the Oracle database only. Now open Windows Explorer and go to c:\prods\ss\batch and run Refresh_app.bat. This will restore Shared Services to the state of the image at its release. Any work done with user provisioning since obtaining the image will be lost.
If Shared Services is started without the Oracle database starting up completely, issues may be encountered with logins of products or services not starting up.
When this happens use the shortcut to the Shared Services UI in the Internet Explorer favorites to login to Shared Services using Demoadmin/Demov52 or admin/password. If you get an error, restart Shared Services and then restart other services to fix this issue.
