Btw All VMware HA gives you is single point of failure protection at the ESX host level. If the host where the exchange VM lives crashes all the guests living on that host get booted and powered on in another host in the cluster.

Note that that is the Microsoft support position and not VMware's. Exchange 2007 works just fine in a virtualized environment. I've got a number of deployments out there. Depending on I/O requirements and I/O availability from your disk solution, you might consider putting the mailbox role on physical hardware and everything else on virtual. -----Original Message----- From: John Bowles [mailto:john_bow...@yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 3:21 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Exchange 2007 and VMWare All- I've been tasked to research E2K7 and VMWare. I know VMWare say's they support this type of installation.. but what I'm looking for is people that actually have this type of setup in their environment or have set this up in someone's environment. Has anyone had success with this design scenario? Were there any gotcha's? How does well does it work with HA?
