Virtual Labs

[chrisall]

Hi, first newbie question that's no doubt been answered before.....

Can I setup the labs using virtual machines or do they have to be separate physical boxes? (I know that MS don't support virtual DCs).

Cheers,

Yes, you can setup the Labs in a Virtual environment. All you really need is sufficient RAM.
You CAN run a DC in a Virtual Machine. I have a Server 2003 DC, Server 2008 DC and SBS2003 all running as Virtual machines.

You can setup a Domain consisting entirely of Virtual Machines (as long as you have sufficient RAM).
