I couldn't agree more with Tony -- Exchange is a resource hog and should not be
done on VMWare except for testing purposes. Just because you can doesn't mean
you should....

Hi Tony,
I have to respond to this. Many IT managers think you can just virtualize any
application because of all the marketing hype. Be very careful, I/O is critical
to Exchange and any other database application which may make running it on
VMWARE or VIRTUAL SERVER unpractical not to mention Exchange is also very
resource intensive and will take whatever it can. Now I am sure if you have a
very small environment that it may make sense, but with Microsoft Small
Business
server why would you want to?
Any body else car e to throw in there two cents?
Sincerely,
Jose Medeiros

Microsoft has introduced support for Exchange 2003 SP2 and later on Virtual
Server 2005 R2. This article has just been released.

I guess this means we can now run a DC and Exchange on the same physical
hardware without any of the previous limitations.
Tony
