I have a small company that utilizes 2 servers. One is SBS 2008 and the second is our LoB with SQL and business apps. The second server is quickly coming to the end of it's life and I was looking at replacing. I have been using VMware Workstation for the last 8 months (happily) and wondered if ESXi Hypervisor would work for our servers. The company has less than 10 employees and the sbs has our email and website and is the dc.
I guess I am wondering if it is possible to setup in this fashion. There are some great manuals and discussions out there on setting up ESXi but most of the installs already have the host as a member of a domain. For this install, I think I am attempting to put the domain dc on the host box so I am not sure what initial values to put in the host box for ip addresses and domain name.
Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
