Creating a Windows Server 2003 File Server on a NAS That’s Being Used as a File Server...

Oh boy, today's video is gonna need some explaining. So after the vast majority of you wanted me to install the copy of Server 2003 that Zilch sent me, I came up with an idea to make it more challenging. We're going to install VirtualBox on my Asustor NAS to set up a file server on a file server. Let's see what I get myself into...

It wouldn’t be a classic MJD video without something going wrong.

[absolutewisp]

ngl MJDness should be an official term to define something that's stupid in a very cool way

"Yo Dawg, we heard you like File Servers. So we put a File Server in your File Server, so you can be Served Files from your File Server in your File Server."

[PixelOverload]

Just watched you type that "50" and hit enter, repeatedly chanting "50GB"

waiting for the aftermath, lol

[WhatsHisFace]

As someone who only uses virtualbox, i can say this video was *interesting*
some shortcuts: CTRL + F is fullscreen
Right Control + Delete for CTRL+ALT+DELETE in VM's

[PaulTheFox]

ngl I laughed out loud when you hid the menu bar, and then laughed even harder when you realised that the virtual disk was only 50MB :'D

Edit: Thanks everyone for the thumbs up!

The OOBE of Server 2003 that you mentioned in 22:49 is in fact a fanmade concept. The video of the robots assembling the Windows logo is officially from Microsoft, but the whole OOBE concept was put together by someone else. :D

[BilisNegra]

In the end, you did not only access the file server inside the file server, but you did it from a VM inside instead of the main OS in your main PC. I'm digging the layers!

[vericab]

you 50mb vvirtual hardisk reminds me so much of the first semester... we had our final practical exam in operating systems basics... a girl resized the C drive to 50 mb and not 50 gb... she realised it after 2, 5 hours in when she restarted her pc.... i felt really bad for her

[gba_music_and_stuff]

the shortcut for the menu bar is [host]+home
(to clarify it opens a right-click menu that shows the same as the menu bar)

[realshaoran]

Oh boy, removing the menu bar of VirtualBox, and then not knowing how to restore it... it's classic, it has happened at me as well.

[PCUSE]

Haven't watched the whole video yet but I see you created a 50 mb disk (I'm at 9:04) instead of a 50 GB disk-starting back up to watch the fun-I love that you make mistakes just like the rest of us and overcome them. Makes your videos that much more relatable.

[WackyH]

The robots assembling the Windows Server 2003 logo was an advertisment. Many people actually rip the ending part and claim it was the startup sound for the UK.

[Yufukuai]

Maybe use the 2003 file server to access different files from the older machines when needed and leave the normal file server for the current machines like your host computer?

8:36 Virtual HDD set to 50 MB (I'm sure you meant GB). I will continue watching to see if you caught this...Yep, at 18:23 you catch it and correct it :)

[DemeDemetre]

my brain went like this when reading the title :buffering: :buffering: :buffering:
Err_404 Not enough ram

[theretromillennial]

12:00 minutes in and I'm all in right now trying to figure out why it's not working along with you... also, if you need to rerun a command with sudo, you can just type sudo !! to rerun the last command without having to retype the whole thing. Obviously that was a short one, but it comes in handy when working with longer ones.

EDIT: Well I guess I should have just waited a few more seconds until you figured it out, lol

[rexthewild]

That "is no point" is the very thing that i love to see on this channel :))))(

Serverception
Also Michael's Law is at play once again

[andresbravo]

I especially loved Enterprise Servers. We want it more, but it cost too much. btw, great video MJD. 😇👍🏻
