Hi Unex,
Running the servers in a VM environment with shared hardware resources will cause some slow down of server performance. You might want to try this with application servers that do not put much load on the server and see how they do. For example, your DFS, DC and DNS servers would be a good fit for being virtualized. While your Exchange server might be OK or it could have problems depending on how heavily you are using it. You are going to have to try it on your different servers and see if it has acceptable performance when virtualized for your organization. What works OK for one company may not work very well for another.
Let us know how your virtualization plan plays out.
Thanks,
Wally
