Hello shivaraj,

We have almost every server virstulized in VmWare ESX and don't see any problems.
We don't have all the Exchange servers virtual but all the FE servers are
VM's and one BE server, no cluster though so I can't say anything about that.
But be sure you have performance enough. For instance we have all our DC's
as VM's, haven't seen any problems.

Its not supported in production however.

I know someone that installed it into production. Total horror story
on what this company did. Not only were the cluster nodes
virtualised, they hosted multiple VM's on the actual servers that
had the cluster node images on them..

Suffice to say it was total s**t, and I would have fired whoever it
was that designed it and signed it off for production :-)

Dev and Test labs only!!

Thanks for your inputs.
Even I came to know from some other sources that no production
environment will have exchange on vmware.
Cheers,
