I had occasion to set up Windows Server 2008 onto a VMware Server recently. Install went fine, choosing the Windows Server 2003 Enterprise profile. Only problem was that there was no network. I ended up editing the .vmx configuration file and adding the line:

Ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"

That seemed to solve it. So, if you have network problems with Windows Server 2008 under VMware Server, that might solve it for you too.
