Hi William:
Thanks for the links. I'll read through them on one of my off
hours.
I may not have made myself clear on why I want to do this. I'm
just setting up a virtual training lab so that I can get some hands on
experience with Exchange 2007, Virtual Server and Windows server 2008.
It can't be too elaborate or extensive given our power situation
(limited and dirty), environment (dusty) and risk situation (shrapnel
damage is mighty hard to repair out here).
My employer and the Army is hot on us getting certified (as if
coming out here isn't enough to have one 'certified' already) so, I
figure that Exchange 2007 would be an easy hit for me since I've been
working with Exchange since the Early Adopter days. I'll work on the
others, but it's better to make short range plans out here.

Lots of people are putting Exchange 2007 on VMWare. ESX is VMWare ESX
Server.

Thanks for the info. 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.

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.
