3CX guest o/s is 2008 R2

pjr,
There is a couple of things I want to add and these are just MY opinions. I manage lots of VM systems and you might want to consider running Either ESX or ESXi. Windows was very late to the VM game and playing catch up. I'm a heavy linux user and I run all my windows in VM's and everybody plays nicely in the sandbox. It's when you run Window's within windows that the kids get cranky. I run VMware and Sun's virtualbox and windows loves it. I don't want to start a Win/Linux flame war here. These are just my observations and experiences.

Couldn't agree more, I prefer ESXi/VmWare Workstation/Virtualbox over Hyper-V any day.

Since this is a Windows application, I stick with Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V and run the 3CX PBX on a Server 2008 guest OS. Our SBS Server VM and the 3CX PBX VM can be restored offsite in a few hours or less.
This keeps the issues simple, it’s either a 3CX or a Windows issue, and we get excellent support from 3CX and MSFT. We learned that the hard way with other vendors/OS/PBXs poor to no support.
