Two physical servers with enough memory and Quad Core CPU
1. On one physical server I'll install Windows 2008 R2 operating system and 2 VMs (windows 2008R2)
a. One VM will have ADS role installed
b. Another VM will have Exchange server SP2 installed with following roles
- Mailbox Server
- Client Access Server
- Hub Transport Server
2. On Second physical server I'll install Windows 2008 R2 operating system and 1 VM (windows 2008R2)
a. VM will have Exchange server SP2 installed with following roles

3.VMs will be installed on Shared Storage LUN -- over Iscsi
