RE: Exchange 2003 installation on VMWARE virtual machine.

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hello Carlettus,

Thanks for your post.

Please understand, generally, we don't support any deployment or
troubleshooting issues under VMware virtual environment. For more
reference, I found some information from the Internet which may be of help:

Exchange server 2003 MSCS physical to virtual migration.

Running Microsoft Exchange Server in a Virtual Machine Using VMware ESX
Server 2.5WHITE

Deploying Microsoft Exchange in VMware Infrastructure

At the same time, if you have interest, you may consider choosing Windows
Server 2008 Hyper-V Technology/Microsoft Hyper-V Server which is
supported to migrate from physical to virtual machines.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your time and cooperation.


Best regards,
