Cathy, I have many time installed Exchange 5.5 on a VM. I have always used the bridged network setting though. This might be the issue you are having.

There are separate vmware machines to handle the different functions, simulating the production machines. The particular virtual machine I'm having problems with is only running W2K as a member server.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackson, Cathy M" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 28, 2002 12:36 PM Subject: Exchange 5.5 on vmware server > Hi Everyone > > I'm trying to set up a test network using vmware on a Windows 2000 > server.
