Game Server 2003

After trying to set up a domain to run a gaming server & have clients run the game on their machine [faulty equipment, dodgy network cards, A++ computers prevented this], we ran a version of the torque game example, Stronghold, with the batch file, on the domain controller for Windows Server 2003.
It came up with the error of DirectX not being installed.
Upon installation & running the batch file again, the dos command interface went "crazy", showing Brett, Terry , Travis & myself that the game should run on Windows Server 2003.
We have now successfully ran a 4-node cluster but are unable to have the game operate due to the cluster being virtual & successfully ran the game on a physical Windows Server 2003.
The next step is to show that the game will be able to be played on client computer/s, then the cluster can implemented on physical nodes in a real network.
