I would be shocked almost to death in fact to see it pushing the disks anywhere near what AD or Exchange will do. Access doesn't run server side, it is client side. It is very unlikely that a remote app will mash your disks like a busy local app will. -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm

File sharing doesn't really beat the disks up relative to a busy DC even in large multi-thousand user file servers I have seen. What about when some idiot user sets up an Access database on one and runs "inappropriate" reports against it.. It is why most normal server admins really have no clue what to look for in terms of IO load on servers but any Exchange Admin worth anything is looking at that right away in a problem situation and able to quote IOPS stats off the top of their head and know what they can get from the underlying disk subsystem. Exchange disk configs are critical. ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
