What I am trying to do is to minimized cost of taking
addtional units of physical servers while both security
and function shall not be compromised. For SBS, it is
of course a 1st option but in our envirnoment, we need
more function more than SBS, that's why I want to uprise
such a solution VS SBS.
As for license charge, I merely regards the Vitual server
as actual one, it means we must pay for it for any server
need to install, and then disgard comparision of charge
with SBS.

Thanks,

Roy Tsao

I think that it is a good idea but it is a whole lot more expensive than
1 SBS Premium license at $1,450. How deep are your pockets? Is the extra
cost worth it, in terms of function or security? These are the questions
yet to be answered.

In my past post, I want to implement a more wider service Like ISA/SQL/DC etc. on one phsical server. For security Concern, so far the recommendation from ISAServer forum Is to use SBS. However we could have one more idea by utilizing Vmware GSX server like below for my network: - Host OS: Windows Server 2003 (two NICs) External NIC: any but no DG IP Internal NIC: 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0 - two Guest Server (Through Vmware GSX): 1) Windows Server 2003 running as DC (one vitual NIC) IP: 192.168.0.3/255.255.255.0 (bridged to Host Internal NIC)

            2) Windows Server 2003 running as ISA2K4 (one vitual
NIC)
               IP: 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0
               (bridged to Host Internal NIC)
 Network frame:
   Wan connection: ADSL PPOE connection through Guest Server 2)
                   Host Server and other Lan PC's connection to
                   Wan through Gateway 192.168.0.1 like a physical
                   ISA2K4 Box

   Lan connection: Guest Server 1) as DC/DNS/DHCP server

   Firewall protectiont o Host Server from External NIC:
     enable firewall protection, close up all communication port
through
     TCP/IP

Dear Jim and other cool guys, is that a good idea suppose the host
server
Has engouth CPU capacity and RAM?

Thanks for your suggestion in advance!
