  This is neither supported, nor recommended.  Here are a couple very recent threads on the same topic:

  Hi jeff,
  
             So I decided to use only OCS (not Exchange on the same machine).
  
             As you said
  
                        " Either way, neither is supported for virtualizing media components, but depending on the size and load on specific hardware performance could be fine, it' all depends."
  
  in this thread http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/onlineservicesexchange/thread/e5178954-740d-43bd-8f92-b80edbe39708
  
  Is it mean I can not use OCS inside a VM ?
  
  As you know I have only one server and that is also partitioned in VMs.

  Virtualization of OCS R2 is supported under certain scenarios. Check out a discussion thread here for more info.
  
  Hope this helps. Do let us know. Thanks.
