I don't see a forum specifically for VS here, and I haven't really found anything of substance in searching.

I have a 64 bit Windows Server 2003 R2 server with 8GB or RAM running VS. I have two instances of XP SP2 virtualized to handle some mundane tasks. Each has 1GB of RAM allocated.

It appears that Virtual Server shuts them down if they are idle too long. I then have to manually start them each day. Once running, they appear to run fine for a day.

I've looked through all of the settings I could find, and couldn't find any setting that lets me override this behavior. I need them to stay operational without my intervention.

Has anyone seen this?
