Can I Setup OCS and Exchange Server in one machine

Question
-
I am planning to setup Exchange and OCS on the same physical server. Is it possible ?
Can both be installed on a 64 bit windows server 2008 core edition ?
I can not use Hyper-V because it does not support UM role.

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

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.

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.
