Thank you all for your prompt answers. &nbsp;This will be a test environment. &nbsp;The host pc does not really need to connect to Small Business Server 2003. &nbsp;I was curious if it could and you have explained the problems. <br />
Thanks again for all your help.

I am considering installing Small Business Server 2003 into VirtualBox. &nbsp;The host pc will be a 64 bit pc running Windows 7 Pro.<br />

I searched Experts-Exchange looking for this information but didn’t find any suitable messages.<br />
<br />
1.) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Who has done this before?<br />
<br />
2.) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What problems did you encounter?<br />

Install SBS 2003 server into VirtualBox

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
