2 CRM 3.0 in same environment

Is it possible to have 2 CRM installations in the same environment

SQL 2005, Exchange, CRM each on their own server.

We need to have a test environment and a live environment.

That depends what you mean by one environement if you mean one physical
server for both CRM installs this cann't be done. You can install Crm
multiple times in one AD domain.
The only thing that can be really shared between multiple Crm installs is
Sql. Exchange can be shared as well but if you do only one Crm install can
you email tracking.

It's 3 different servers for CRM, SQL and Exchange

We need to make a proof on concept on one version, so we need 2 versions of
CRM on the same server and.

Guess it's a problem !

You would need 9 servers (3 separate CRM Servers, 3 separate SQL Servers and
3 Separate Reporting Servers). I heard that Microsoft was working towards
multitenancy but I'm not sure if you can go with that approach.

I ended up buying two high end servers and runing separate virtual instances
with VMWare GSX for Dev and Pre-Prod. It cut down on our costs significantly
and did what we needed it to do.

Sorry that is incorrect; you do not need 9 servers.

The only additional server required to be added to the original deployment
is another CRM Server.

If you use two different organisation name, you can use one SQL Server
and two IIS. If you use one organisation name, you need to use two SQL
Servers and two IIS.
Both the installations can be in the same Active Directory environment.
Hope this helps.
