I have a few questions about SBS 2008 and Virtualization.<br />
<br />
1. Can you run Hyper-V on SBS 2008? &nbsp;I have read posts explaining that you can't run Hyper-V on SBS. &nbsp;It is a Role I can select on my SBS 2008 domain controller. &nbsp;I we give the DC enough horsepower and memory, will it run?<br />
<br />
2. Is anyone here running SBS 2008 as a virtual? &nbsp;Microsoft advised we could install Hyper-V first, then SBS 2008 as a virtual. &nbsp;I am looking for admin feedback. &nbsp;How does it run? &nbsp;Any complaints?<br />
<br />
Any insight you can provide is greatly appreciated!<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
