SBS2003 and Hyper-v

We want to reduce equipment in the lab. We have a well functioning SBS2008
Standard domain running with one sbs2008 (8 GB) server and a second win2008
(8 GB system mem) server running our AVG service and Hyper-v. Under Hyper-v
we have two guests, an XP Pro running old version of Quickbooks for company
accounting and a Win2003R2 server running BlackBerry Enterprise Server
running 4 blackberry phones. We have 10 real Vista Business workstations
which will go Windows 7 Pro over the next two weeks. This all runs on
192.168.8.x and uses one public static IP address.

We also have a second domain running SBS2003 R2 (4 GB) that we keep up to
help support four SBS2003 client sites. We do all contract work for them and
need to keep a working domain. We have one XP Pro and one Vista Business
workstation running just to test changes before implementation.

We have just received a Dell T605 with 32 GB and four 1.5 TB drives so we
want to add it to the sbs2008 domain and make the whole sbs2003 completely
virtual.

do you have comment on Hyper-v and SBS2003? I do want to end up with a 'one
nic' sbs2003 domain on a public static IP address.

SBS 2003 is officially not supported in HyperV.

But that said if you want a lab machine it works fine.

Officially, not supported. Realistically, works fine, with the usual
limitations of Hyper-V VMs. (No USB, no tape, and no FAX). If you expect
that second domain to actually connect to the internet, you'll need to have
a dedicated NIC for that subnet. Otherwise, if it's only to maintain a
running SBS 2k3, with no real connection, then you can use an internal
network that only other virtualized machines and the host can see.
