EXCHANGE, ACTIVE DIRECTORY, VMWARE

I have vmCAS1  as exchange 2007 CAS
vmMBX2 as exchange mailbox server

we have resource exchange forest set up and linked to their account forest.

they are all  in production environment

we want to create test environment with CAS and MBX server.

can we do any ovf copy of present environment i.e CAS and MBX servers  in VMware and if we place in test lab environment CAS and MBX servers can we still create linked mailboxes

we need to upgrade to exchange 2010 so we want to do some testing.

since test and production are in different subnet, can replication take place between these mbx severs in production and test.

MAS,

Please export Exchange servers (HUB,CAS,MBX) and your FSMO holder(i.e.DC) to OVF template

how do I export them?
Remember to Export them, you've got to Power them OFF!

Not sure how convenient that's going to be for an Exchange Server and AD environment!
