From: Bill Lambert [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2009 10:53 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: VMware newbie Hello al���� We are in the early stages of planning to consolidate some W2K3 servers on some beefy hardware. We are going to use VMware (ESXI to begin with) as other corporate offices use it and i����s kind of mandated. I have a couple of question����If I install the 64 bit version of ESXI on bare metal, can W2K3 32 bit servers run on it? When it comes to backing up the guests using BUE 12.0, can I use my Windows Server agents or do I need something else? I���ve spent too many hours on hold with Symantec for an answer.
