Is this for a test bed. Most times I see VMare is for testing not anything else. I have setup up Exchange 5.5 on Windows 2000 on a separate server as part of a network that had a VMware server handling all the DNS, DHCP and Domain controller functions. That worked fine. Sounds like too many things running causing memory, ports, etc. running for limited resources.
