Hi,
I am looking to see if anyone knows if Exchange 2000/2003
and Outlook has been implemented in VMWare environment?
If yes, are there any issue/concerns?

We know that VMS 2005 is just released. So, the question
applies to VMS and VM PC (re Outlook portion) but I would
assume in relation to a beta site.

Thank...

Robert,
Can you elaborate on the following:
- Did you use the VM server or PC?
- Which version of Exchange have you been using?
- How many users and Exchange servers do you have in this
setup?
- How long have you had this Production scenario?
- Is your Exchange messaging centralized?
- What about backup?

Thanks!!

I've personally installed Exchange 2003 on a PC VM, and had no problems.
Again, this is only for a test enviroment. I wouldn't recommend using even
VM server for hosting Exchange on a VM for a production enviroment unless
you've got some serious hardware.

Re: Exchange

Sent: 10/14/2004
From: Steve Jain <(email address - cut out)>
Message:

As I mentioned, the virtual server newsgroup doesn't show up in the MS
web newsreader yet. I don't know if you can manually add it, since I
use an NNTP newsreader.

You can access it from NNTP newsreaders like Outlook Express, Forte
Agent, etc.
