Virtual Servers and Exchange 2007

[Moby-Dick]

Server consolidation can work quite well , especially if you assume that your servers aren't going to be busy all the time.


Some services virtualise better than others though.

Have you considered backup requirements ?

I believe this is just a very over complex solution to simple setup

[Moby-Dick]

I'm all for keeping it simple

Having given it some more thought, I agree, this is probably not the environment for this kind of setup.

Just thought it might be a fun thing to try.

[Moby-Dick]

fun things are good , just not for production environments

by all means get yourself a copy of VMWare server ( which is free at the moment IIRC ) and some Beta / Evaluation CD's and have a play

Absolutely! Thanks for everyones input!
