Exchange Server support in virtual machines

On Scott Schnoll's weblog "Is this thing on?" Scott provides details on the support for Exchange Server 2007 in Hyper-V hosted guest OS as outlined in a TechEd 2008 session earlier this month. Some key points of his post:

  • Within 60 days of Hyper-V's RTM, the Exchange team will publish a detailed support statement for Hyper-V, and a TechNet article with best practices ...
  • We're only supporting guests running Exchange Server 2007 SP1 on Windows Server 2008.
  • All Exchange server roles, except for the Unified Messaging server role, will be supported.
