To have a View environment you need at least:

- ESX (one or more physical hosts)

- AD DC (at least 1 server, better 2, could be virtual)

- vCenter Server (could be virtual, see also: )

use Windows 2003 32 bit, cause if you need Composer you have to install on vCenter Server

- View Manager (at least one server, could be virtual)

use Windows 2003 32 bit

- Virtual Desktop (with View Agent installed)

- A client (a laptop or a desktop or a supported thin client) with View Client

wouldn't it be better to install vCenter on a 64 bit host, since vmware doesn't know if future version will still support 32 bit?
