Install ESX4 on VMware Server 1.0.X or 2.X. Is it possible?

[billcsffcu]

I'm working with very limited resources and am wondering if I could use vmware server to evaluate ESX 4.

Has anyone been able to get this working?

I know it can be done with Workstation.

take a look at this document by xtravirt: http://xtravirt.com/xd10072 (How to Install ESX Server 3.5 and ESXi as a VM on VMware Server 2.0)

hope it helps you

No. VMware Server 1.x is just too old, and there are bugs in VMware Server 2.x which preclude running ESX 4 in a VM.
