Hi All,

We are going to implement PKI infrastructure based on Windows 2003
certificate.
My customer insist to run the Root Ca and Sub Ca on VM (Vmware) instead of
dedicated servers.
I don't like this idea, but didn't find any article that prove that this
isn't good idea.

What you think about running the Root ca and Sub Ca on VM?


Thanks In Advanced!

Nir B

The biggest problem with this is that this is not configuration supported by
Microsoft. So in case of a problem you will have to reproduce it on real
hardware and hope that solution that works on real hardware also work on
VMWare...
