Install Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 over RDP

We installed Virtual Server 2005 R2 over RDP to a remote box and when i
copied over the VHD files it was in a saved state. When i tried to run
Virtual Server it notified me that it needed to be upgraded to Virtual Server
2005 R2 SP1 in order to resume that saved state mode. I then started the
install and during the install it prompted me to stop Virtual Server services
before the installation was complete, which I did. And then rite before it
completed the install I lost Network connect to it. I then needed to contact
a tech to reboot the machine at your datacenter in order to RDP back onto the
box. I then noticed that the installation of Virtual Server is corrupted. I
want to make sure if i reinstall it this loss of network connection doesn't
happen again? Or possible what is another option?

Installing over RDP is going to disconnect your network. In _most_ cases, it
should complete satisfactorily, and even reconnect automatically. But VS has
to add it's driver into the network chains, and there's no way around that.

One solution if you're working remotely is to use an iLO connection that
supports RDP. (iLO is HP's name for a directly connected separate management
network - other server vendors have an equivalent.) With HP, you need to
buy a software upgrade for the iLO to get RDP over it, but it works well.

Did you copy the Virtual Server R2 Sp2 files to the remote server or were
they being installed over the WAN from your machine? It sounds like the
files were on your machine and you were installing over the WAN. Copy the
files out to the remote server and do a local install. Won't matter if your
network connection goes down.
