Can I set up a virtual environment in which to run DMA, Exchange Migrator, and the Server Consolidator?

fact
Domain Migration Administrator 7.x

fact
Exchange Migrator 2.x

fact
Server Consolidator 7.x

fix
The Migration Suite of products can run in a VM environment if the VM environment meets the requirements as outlined in the user documentation.  As long as name resolution is functioning properly and trusts are configured properly, running DMA, EM, or SC in a VM environment will work.
