I was looking at a mostly high side Dell Optiplex tower or a precision workstation as the basis. By the time I get home I should have a full TechNet DVD set waiting for me. Letting it blow up and rebuild on a regular basis will give me some experience in virtual disaster recovery as well. I am very much of the old school training, one server one application/service. Virtual machines are a whole new area for me to wrap my head around. Anyone know of a good list I can subscribe to that's centered around MS virtual server? Please define ESX for me? Thanks. John H.

Casale [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 6:25 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 2007 and Virtual Server I run about a 8-12 vm ESX server with a win2k3r2 dc and exchange 2007 on a win2k3r2 64 bit server. My dc has 512meg ram and my exchange server has ~1.5gb. This is all off a core 2 duo 1.8 GHz (slow) and I think 6gig ram. There are a few other vm's running windows, CentOS and FreeBSD on it... It runs reliably. ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~
