I wasnt sure where to post this, but since this is for my small hosting business and for business use i though I would post it here :).

My question is whether its possible to run exchange server from within vmware fusion for mac.
Has anyone ever done this?

Thanks

(p.s. tell me if i posted this in the wrong board for future reference ).

I don't see why not, but do expect it to be quite a memory hog.

You will need to allocate at least 2GB to the VM, 4GB would be preferred.

Yes it should be possible to be able to do this.

thanks for your replies! I will try and setup exchange tomorrow in vmware. :D

Plus Exchange will only setup in a Windows Server environment. Make sure your Fusion has support for this kind of OS (not Windows desktop versions like Vista or 7 or XP)

vmware fusion supports windows server environments. Im currently running Server 2008, i still need to install service pack 2, before i can install exchange.

You will need to allocate at least 2GB to the VM, 4GB would be preferred.

The virtual server will be dead slow when running Windows 2008 & Exchange with 2GB for sure.
