Want a server job

[c4rm0]

Ive been working in Desktop support now for 8 years and want to make the move into server support during this time in Desktops i have gained a a lot of experience in servers and Exchange

what would i need to do ?? it seems a server job is the holy grail for a desktop guy but you cant gain any experience unless you work with servers on a daily basis

Did anyone play with servers at home via Virtual machines ? or shall i just bite the bullit and do a MCSE ?

I have VMworkstation at home so will get it setup and have a play can i have the Domain controller + Exchange on same Virtual machine ? or shall i have a dedicated domain controller and a dedicated exchange server
