I have completed the prototyping of openldap, samba/pdc, on a VirtualBox appliance. The setup works fine with 4-5 different desktop clients connecting to the services.
Appliance details: VirtualBox 3.0.6 - 512MB RAM, 8MB Video RAM, 9GB VDI with 1GB Swap and CentOS 5.3 64bit).
I am considering deploying this appliance into production with 1GB RAM. The no. of clients connecting to the server will be approx. 150.
Has anyone deployed openLDAP + Samba/PDC in a VirtualBox appliance?
I'd appreciate if you could share your experience, gotchas etc with respect to an appliance environment as well as resources allocated to the appliance e.g. amount of RAM.
TIA

I don't know anything about Virtual Box but I operate an OpenLDAP + Samba/PDC for 300+ used on an ESX VM with roughly the allocated resources you specify [although I have no idea about "Video RAM" or "VDI"]. I imagine the performance of the underlying host may matter more than your specific allocations so long as process fit into the allocated memory.

I have virtualized OpenLDAP deplyomentos using Xen hypervisor, running Debian Lenny with about 300 users, LDAP is used for samba+pdc, postfix, squid, jabber, of course we have replicas on another xen host.
PD. I only use virtuabox for testing and gaming never for production.
