Hi,

I was wondering if any of you has implemented a virtualised clustered mailbox server role for an environment of about 1000+ users?

I know that Microsoft does not support this, and everywhere i looked people say you can do it for 'small environments'...

has anyone had any issues with this, or does anyone know why Microsoft does not support it (apart from the commercial market-share reason).

Hi Ioana,

Just to let you know, I moved this post to a new thread to see if it gets more attention!

So my thoughts I think you know:

I haven't done this to that degree, although I have virtualised smaller Exchange setups.

I would point you in the direction of Paul Robichaux's recent comments on the subject which mirror my own.
