There are almost no reasons anymore for not running virtual machines. We do get better uptime for our virtual machines than our physical hosts as we can migrate our VMs between physical hosts as needed. DR is also much easier (and cheaper) in a virtual environment. There are a few whitepapers about Exchange and VMware here: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/Virtualizing_Exchange2003.pdf http://www.vmware.com/pdf/exchange_best_practices.pdf http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmmark_intro.pdf Lars ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
