Thanks so much for the information but I am still struggling with something. As far as creating the file server VM...would you recommend creating a C:\ drive of course for the OS on one VMDK and then creating a D:\ drive on a separate VMDK? Wasn't sure what the best practice would be for this. I thought maybe if the D:\ data drive was a separate VMDK you could potenitally point it to another VM if something happened to the original. Any thoughts or suggestions on this?
thanks
