Vista - SBS 2003

Hi,
i need to virtualize a Microsoft Windows SBS Standard, but i don't know if
this is possible in according with Microsoft license agreement

TIA

I'm not sure about the licensing terms, except that you can't separate the
server technologies in SBS across multiple environments, whether virtual or
physical. In other words, you would need to install SBS in one virtual
server or one physical server unless you have more than one SBS license.

MS supports SBS 2003 as a guest OS in Virtual Server 2005 R2:

(see Q. Which operating systems can be run as guests in Virtual Server 2005
R2?)

More licensing info from MS on SBS in virtual environment:

(search in doc for "Small Business Server")

Standard isn't an issue. Premium would be - ISA isn't supported in a virtual
environment.

SBS is a very resource intensive application - I'd recommend giving it as
much RAM in the VM as possible.

For most SBS questions, the microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs group is
your best bet.
