That way I don't need to run multiple licenses of the OS, nor do I need hardware that can power 4 VMs. I already run VMs using VMWare in my test lab; it works but I'd prefer to be able to run AD as a service and have it be smart enough to be able to segment itself without needing a separate OS... ********************** Charlie Kaiser W2K3 MCSA/MCSE/Security, CCNA Systems Engineer Essex Credit / Brickwalk 510 595 5083 ********************** > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Crowley > [MVP] > Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2005 10:07 AM > To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org > Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Active Directory wish list > > You can.
