No, I'd be using Server 2008's built-in VM capabilities.

But as it is exchange 2007, there is a lot lower IO requirement that Exchange 2003. I take it you are thinking about running it on VMware's ESX3.5 ? If so think carefully about the network design, especially if you are planning on having 2 or more ESX hosts, and want to use the features such as HA and DRS.

As I migrate us to Windows Server 2008 this summer, I'll be playing more with virtualization. I'm hoping to consolidate a few servers into one bigger server, and am looking at running Exchange 2007 on a virtual Server 2008 machine. Is anyone doing this successfully? Any caveats?
