Server 2012 Standard comes with TWO VM instances, not four. You're thinking of Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.

If you have a SMB with SQL and are buying Server 2012, you're licensed for four VM's, so you can divorce SQL from the DC .If you have the resources (RAM, disk), I'd run the DC, SQL, and file/print each on different VM's. Or at minimum divorce the DC from everything else, since you can get away with small RAM/HDD requirements on a DC in a SMB. Dave From: Hank . [mailto:hgedr...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, March 15, 2013 9:19 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Virtualization in small office I deal mostly with SMB. Virtualization is a great fit if you have a number of physical servers. But what about a single server situation? I have a couple replacements coming up where there is a single server that is a DC, file and print, runs SQL or some other database for their LOB and thats it. Is it overkill to say setup 2012 Hyper-V and set up one guest server? It doesn't cost any more because server standard comes with two virtual licenses. Both places currently backup to a NAS so I could just install Veeam in order to get incremental backups vs just installing a new physical server and OS and say using Shadowprotect to backup.
