==========================
I recently bought MOSS 2007 for an emerging requirement and was poking
around blogs, websites, and NG's to learn more about it and came
across the term Virtual Server. I've seen it mentioned before by
MVPs, usually in conjunction with a test environment, so passed over
it. Well, I went to MS's page on Virtual Server and am now wondering
if I can use this product to host MOSS 2007 on my SBS box. Any
advice? Also, are there any good sites or blogs to start with on Virtual
Server on SBS that will help me learn about using it? I'm certainly
not a pro, but I think it could be very useful for our non-profit.
Many thanks in advance!
As I recall Sharepoint Server 2007 'system requirements' ask for 1GB ram
minimum and 2GB recommended. With a 4GB limit on your SBS server to start
with and your full SBS Prem configuration, you probably don't want to be
giving 25%- 50% of that away to MOSS.
Virtual PC2007 is a good place to comfy with virtual machine technology and
when run on a beefy workstation is much safer place to begin than on your
SBS server. Once you've mastered that, Virtual Server is a natural
progression.
