Setting up System Center 2012
Hi, I am trying to confirm best practices on setting up System Center 2012.
I think I read or heard that I can and should have a host machine then make each component of System Center 2012 (SCCM, SCOM, Service Manager, Orchestrator, VMM, etc.) that I plan to use to make them their own virtual machine, Also, I would need a SQL server too. So, that would be a vm too.
So, how did you setup your SC 2012? Am I heading in the right direction? Also, can Server 2008 R2 Standard Hyper-V Manager handle 8-10 VM's at once? Or should I be using Enterprise instead?
Thanks in advance.

That didn't seem to answer my most important question. Should I create a separate VM for each component of the System Center 2012? Or can I install them all together on one VM?
I know I will require a SQL Server 2008 R2 for reporting services. So, that would be a total of 9 apps on one VM or 9 separate VM's on one physical host machine.
Just trying to figure out the best setup or layout of the components.
Thanks.
