RE: SBS 2008 yet ?
Minimum recommended for Exchange 2007 on a mixed role server is 3 GB. There's quite a bit of that memory right there. (That being said, on my home Exchange 2007 server, I support eight users in 768 MB. But it's dog slow. I don't recommend it. I've got a new server on the way.) Windows Server 2008 x64 has a minimum recommended of 2 GB. That's another large chunk. (That being said, my DC is running in 512 MB and it's just fine - but again, it's only eight users and my lab computers.) Regards, Michael B.

RE: SBS 2008 yet ?
I have a SBS 2008 running fine in a VM with 4gb of RAM. Although the SBS community are stating 8gb should be the minimum. It will not even install unless there is 60gb of hard disk space available. I am also running E2007 at home in much less than 8gb of RAM, although things get a little slow if you are using UM. Both RAM and disk space are cheap. I had to replace two disks in a SAT array last week. UK£45 each for two 500gb drives. Put it in to the free Hyper-V Server then when you can get a better machine or a dedicated system just move it around. It is something I am seriously considering doing when I start my SBS 2008 deployments.

RE: SBS 2008 yet ?
Sweet! You have any docs on that? Can you also define recover properly? I can interpret that a couple of ways... I have a client who has SBS 2K3 and they are looking to replace hardware next month, I was thinking a new server with 2008 host OS running their SBS existing 2K3 server virtualized and then possibly having them buy SBS 2008, VM-ing it, and migrating off SBS 2K3. Would also love to VM our DC's here too, but I need docs showing MS will support FSMO on VM'd servers first.

RE: SBS 2008 yet ?
Not just suspended also if recovered. That was my point about recovery, if you have a single DC, then you are OK in an sbs environment. If you have multiple DCs (which is completely supported in SBS and in EBS) then you have to worry about USN rollbacks and recovery becomes a very important point. Regards, Michael B.

What does FSMO role holding have to do with AD recoverability issues with VMs? To the OP: get this whitepaper on running Active Directory in virtual machines.
