All,
Server consolidation has us heading towards putting production Windows
Server 2003 domain controllers on VMWare VMs using ESX. We have not yet
deployed AD widely (some business units have it and some don't) but are
working on a new design that will handle all business units. Our lab is a
combination of physical servers on workstation-class hardware and VMs on
VMWare Workstation4 and on ESX.
However, our direction for production DC's is VMs on ESX unless we find
that it doesn't work properly or well enough. We're going to be testing
this in the lab. I've seen recent emails about using VMs to spin off labs.
But does anyone have experience running production DC's on VMs or any known
"gotcha's" that they're willing to share?
Thanks,
Mike Baudino
