The guest operating system is selected by family and version. For example, once ''Windows operating system'' has been selected, the specific version must then be selected from the drop-down list.

Guest operating systems fall into two categories, officially supported and unsupported. As with host operating systems, just because a guest operating system is not officially supported does not necessarily mean that it won't run as a guest operating system in VMware Server 2.0 virtual machine. For example, Windows Server 2008 is not, at the time of writing, an officially supported guest operating system, yet based on testing it appears to functions perfectly within this environment. With this information in minf, the following table lists the current officially supported guest operating systems:
