<div>
don't install Exchange with SQL server, this will bring the server to its knees, the best option is to use virtual machine and install hyper-v and host those servers on 2 VMs
</div>


<div>
sorry i do not understand correctly,<br />
why virtual machines and why 2 VMs
</div>


<div>
because you don't want SQL and Exchange on the same machine
</div>


<div>

<br />
i know exchange has small sql database install automatically. I thought when i install exchange i do Database in sql machine(diffrent machine).
