Are there any limitations within Windows 2008 R2 Wed Edition that mean it would not function in the same manner as other Windows 2008 R2 editions when virtualised on an ESx host? Thanks

Hello, AFAIK no problem.

Many thanks. Would be nice to hear from someone that has implemented this configuration... I have colleagues who have concerns that Web Edition is not licensed for High Availability & Disaster Recovery on ESx like Standard Edition is?????
