Hi Guys,
I see more and more people starting to get into the world of virtualisation and thought it might be a good place to share some info about your experiences with virtualisation (good or bad) and recommended products.

Regs: Well the virtual server was part of my domain and the account used to run the servers was a domain account. Because the domain controller was now virtualised it needed to be running for the domain accounts to authenticate. Because the domain controller was 'off' the account couldnt authenticate and therefore the domain controller would not start. vicious circle!

Ragnor: Agreed wouldn't run a production SQL Server database or Exchange on a virtualised server unless it was very low user/light use. Disk speed would be extremely poor which is fundamentally important for max requests or operations per second with either of those services.

I am sure there are documentation somewhere warning not to run a DC as a guest of a host that belongs to the same Domain...
