The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Exchange server 2007. virtual vs physical

Asked by FTGE in Microsoft Virtual Server, Exchange Email Server

I have hpyer v from 2008 server enterprise edition (4 virtual licenses). I wanted to see if it was a good idea to setup a Exchange server on a virtual machine or would it be better to intall it on a physical server instead.

Here is my Server Hardware with 2008 Server and Hyper V.
2 Quad Core 1.8 XEON Processors intel virualization
32MB of DDR ECC Ram
4 SCSI 140 gig Drives 10K RPM

If it is a good idea what setup should I use? Do I need more Hard disks? How much processor should I dedicate? how much ram?

i plan on using all 4 hosts.
1 Domain Controller
1 Exchange Server
1 Test Environment
1 Terminal Server or maybe e-commerce

The exchange server is for about 15-20 workstations. is this a bad plan?
