I thought it was more of a recommendation - although if you are using Server 2012 with 1+2 virtualisation rights then you are anly allowed to run the hyper-v bits on the base - and you do not want to be putting Exchange on the domain controller, or the LOB box, and remember that SharePoint will now not run on a domain controller. You might need some more licenses.
I've almost killed one of my HP servers here by trying to run a SharePoint box, Exchange, Essentials, and a few others all in the same box, along with virtual KMS server, WDS server etc. Mike -----Original Message----- From: Michael B.

It currently is running a couple of VMs (2008 SQL, an an App server). I'm looking to possibly add either a SBS 2011 Standard server to a VM *OR* a Windows 2012 Std. (Essenentials w/ Transmorg) to the box. If the client goes with the Windows 2012, am I looking at any special issues if I keep the host server 2008 R2? Should I consider upgrading the Host OS to 2012 using the 1+2 rights? If so, is there a document on how this is best accomplished I should read? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
