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.

Thank you!

Best Host OS for VMware Server 1.0.4?

Asked by CaseForensics in VMware, Windows 64-bit, Microsoft Server

Tags: , ,

I am looking for a Host operating system to run VMware server on.  I've decided I want to stick with a windows product.  (I am not very familiar with Linux products and don't want to host things on a platform unfamiliar to myself and others in the organization.)  Here is the Server specs I will be installing the host system on:

HP ML370
2 x 2.66GHZ Dual Core Processors
8GB of memory
2x146gb 10k SAS drives (Storage For Operating System Files)
Storage for documents and Job related files will be 2 x HP AIO600 ISCSI Servers Mirroring Each other

I plan to run the following virtual machines:
- 1x Windows SBS 2003 with Exchange2003 installed (50 users)
- 1xWindows XP
- 1x Windows 2000 with Terminal Services
- Maybe one or 2 more machines

I am wanting to use VMware Server so that I can save some money and not buy the ESX version.

My Choices for Host OS's are: (Reasons being, I need an OS that will address more then 3gb of memory)
- Windows Server 2003 R2 64bit ($700)
- Windows XP X64 Edition ($140)


Is VMware Server 1.0.4 supported on a Windows XP 64bit host?
My desire would be to go with the cheapest option and use Windows XP X64 but I do not know what downsides this presents if any.

What are your recommendations for my situation?

Thanks!!!
