Disclaimer: I am frugal with VM space. We have about that many users running on a Win2K3 Server machine and I have a 9 GB drive in it. Don't really have any problems with space at this time, but I don't have scads free either. I try to keep the logs cleaned up.

I'm planning on running it on 2008 R2 Hyper-V as that is what I have. Though they don't certify it, will it run? What's the best OS to choose - 2003, 2008 or 2008 R2? Sean Rector, MCSE
