I get "The format of the Virual Server name is invalid" when install virtual server by MsSqlServer 2k (Enterprise Edition) setup in w2k Advanced Server environment.
Is it "by design" ?

Underscores are only supported by DNS for RR records such as identifying where services are. They aren't for A records, which identify hosts.
Since the virtual SQL Server is tied to its DNS name, you have to use a name that's acceptable under the DNS rules. If you use a dash instead of an underscore, you'll be okay. BTW, this is true of anything related to DNS, to include Active Directory.
