How to Install OCS R2 on VMware
VMware Workstation is a virtualization application that enables you to install multiple operating systems on a single machine. The only limitation to the number of operating systems that you can run a single machine is memory; each virtual machine requires a certain amount of memory to run properly. VMware supports the installation of Office Communications Server (OCS R2).
