  can you please clarify "portal number"?
  
  i think it's only meaning that you should access to the admin console by typing http(s)://localhost/something
  
  somethign is accordingly to what Virt. Dir. you can see under the default web sites in IIS.

  Sorry my typo. Actually I am asking for the port number.

  I tried to run the Visual Server 2005 R5 setup.exe on my vista machine, I got a pop-up window asking for the port number

  The installed version of internet information services (IIS) does not allow multiple web sites. The virtual server administration web site will be added as a virtual directory under the default site.
  
  Website port:
  

  Also i found the port number text box is disabled. There is no way for me to enter the portal number.

   

  Any idea?

  Thanks
  Peter

  I don't ever install the web components. I use VMRCplus to administer it without any need for IIS. http://www.microsoft.com/DOWNLOADS/details.aspx?FamilyID=80adc08c-bfc6-4c3a-b4f1-772f550ae791&displaylang=en. It's a better way to administer Virtual Server.

     That is correct. If you run it under Vista you cannot change the port number. On a sever, the admin website runs using port 1024. In Vista you use the default http port (port 80) and the admin website is a directory under the default website (as the message explains).

  Hi,

   

  According to the description, the issue seems to be related to Virtual Server. As we mainly focus on the Hyper-V question about Windows Server system and here is not the best support resource for Virtual Server, it is recommend you to get further support in the corresponding community so that you can get the most qualified pool of respondents. Thanks for your understanding.

   

  For your convenience, I have list the related link as followed.
