I've seen some other posts similar to mine, but not exactly what I want to do. I need to do some prototyping, this is just test stuff. No need for "best practices", etc. I want to know if I can setup three separate VDI enclaves on one physical box. By that I mean, three different Active Directories, VMs associated with different virtual switches (physical NICs), each with it's own virtual desktop pool. I have a Dell PowerEdge T610 with 88 megs of RAM, 4 gigabit NICs and 3T of storage. Resource-wise it seems capable, but not sure if Windows can support this. I initially built a stand-alone (non-AD) Hyper-V server and created three different virtual switches. Starting with my first enclave, I built a DC and associated with one of the virtual switches, etc. I then built a member server (VM) called APP1 and tried to deploy the RDS Quick Start role to it. It was at this point that I realized I was heading down a bad path when I got the error "hardware-assisted virtualization is not present on the server". Seems like I was trying to built VMs inside of a VM and I guess MS doesn't allow that. With all this being said, is it possible to do what I'm attempting with just a single physical 2012 server? Any insight appreciated. Thanks.
