In production? Not sure if you are relaxing with a little joking around on friday 
here!
 
Your theory is sound I guess but you are putting a lot of faith in VMWare to use it in 
production like this. A bit more faith than I would. You'll also be the first on the 
block to find out where the bugs are in VMWare's disk space allocation methods which 
should give you a good fund of stories to tell at partys.
 
I suspect that microsoft PSS might point at you and laugh hysterically if you ring up 
for support on a production server configured like this. Only you know if thats a 
problem for you.
 
OTOH it would really make rolling back from bad patches a snap....

        I am actually thinking about using VMWare as an additional abstraction layer.
        
        For example if my server blows up, I can restore system state and reinstall 
Exchange with the /disasterrecovery switch ONLY IF the hardware is exactly the same. 
Otherwise system state restore will end up with a BSOD.
        
        With VMWare I think I would be able to do a system state restore to any 
hardware because VMWAre would look the same anywhere.
        
        Am I thinking straight?

        It's neat... accessing Titanium on the same server with Outlook11
        running in VMWare.
        
        Microsoft deploys some labs in this manner.

        Hey all. Has anyone tinkered with Exchange on VMWare?
