This forum has been VERY sarcastic over the last week or so....cut the guy/girl a bit of slack, they obviously need 'guidelines' in standing up a production server....so I'll give this very generic topic a stab First you need to have some sort of idea how many users you will be having Then you need to get an idea of what sort of application you will need, if using the ITSM Suite you know right off the bat you will need a beefy server Then you need to determine how many licenses you are going to need based on the server/apps/usage you are expecting then determine if you want DB/App/Web all on the same box, or separate boxes based on your needs BMC has a few 'Server Sizing' whitepapers that I have never looked at, but they seem to be quite popular Please take a look at these suggestions and see if they help any

Is this Friday humor early? Can you give us a little more information? Did you break up with the server? Making up is hard to do! Did it leave you? Was it an old version that felt unsupported?
