All components of Directory Sync Pro are fully functional on physical as well as virtual machines. When setting up Proof of Concept or Pilot environments, the use of virtual machines as a means of lowering the expense of such projects is fully supported and recommended. However, when it comes to production environments, sufficient information to determine whether virtual environments have the same stability and performance characteristics as physical machines has not yet been gathered. Because a majority of production environments have been and are deployed on physical machines, potential customers are advised of these facts, but defers to them to make the final decision. Product support will be provided in both physical and virtual environments. However, if either stability or performance issues are found in a virtual environment, switching to a physical one as a means of issue correction may be recommended.

Quest Servers must be connected via a LAN (10MB or higher) connection. A high-speed WAN (5MB or higher) connection may be acceptable, but is not recommended. Where possible, it is recommended to have these servers, as well as Exchange on the same physical network.
