    You need a good server monitoring software. I see no problem at all as there are many tools e.g.Anturis, Pingdom, New Relic etc. They offer more or less the same options, but the price will be different depending on the tool. Some of them provide an agent which monitors the whole work of a server and it doesn't influence its work in any way. Choose what suits you better.

    This is my first time with Windows server. I installed Windows Server 2008 on VMWare, installed an active directory domain, and created a computer and a user.

    I tried to connect using the Windows XP of the same computer that VMWARE is installed on and it contacted the server with no problem.

    When I tried to connect from my laptop, it shows the following message:

    a domain controller for the domain MYSERVER0 could not be contacted.

    solution: the default network adapter setting is NAT when i should have changed it to Bridged. why? Here is the answer From the VMWARE manual:

    Bridged networking: connects a virtual machine to a network by using the host computer’s network adapter. If your host computer is on a network, this is often the easiest way to give your virtual machine access to that network. The virtual network adapter in the virtual machine connects to the physical network adapter in your host computer, allowing it to connect to the LAN the host computer uses. Bridged networking configures your virtual machine as a unique identity on the network, separate from and unrelated to its host. It makes the virtual machine visible to other computers on the network, and they can communicate directly with the virtual machine. Bridged networking works with both wired and wireless physical host network cards.

    NAT: configures a virtual machine to share the IP and MAC addresses of the host. The virtual machine and the host share a single network identity that is not visible outside the network.
