Cannot seem to find a straight answer for this. Can SBS 08 Premium run vmware server? I read that SBS08 cannot be a Hyper-v host so I wonder if this would apply to vmware server too.
In a nutshell I am to perform a migration from SBS03 to 08 and will have the need to run a vm with 2003 for several apps that arent supported in 2008 (and an ISA alternative).
First idea was to run hyperv server with both the sbs and 2003 in vms, but im concerned about management since there are no vista or 2008 boxes on the network. Is Vmware Esxi an option?
Thanks in advance,
Rob

Yes, yes it can.
You can run VMWare Server on SBS08 or SBS08 on VMWare Server, you can also run SBS08 on ESX/ESXi and although you can run ESX/ESXi (4) in VMWare Server on SBS08 I really, really wouldn't. Really.
