Beware that AD can take up a great deal of your time if not implemented properly. If you dont need it, I would recommend against deploying it (I have worked with it extensively in a LAB and wish I could repress what I have learned, some shrink will make a great deal of money from me some day when the repressed data starts to come out). > > -How should I organize data, (users / corp data/ Fin Data) What restrictions > should I put on these shares? This is hard to say. Basic rule is block all and allow on a need basis. No reason why the administrative assitant should have access to all data. > > -DNS, Wins, DHCP, Exchange, SQL, IIS5, Inoculate, Backup Exec, Print > Services, .... What should be on dedicated boxes what shouldnt? DNS, wins, DHCP = dont use up a lot of processor power IIS 5/Print Services /SQL = how much Traffic do you expect, if a great deal of data is expected, two server may be required If you have a need for two servers (run DNS, WINS, DHCP on all, they take little power) IIS5 Print Services and the rest can be load balanced. AD can help you to distribute the sever load among users. > > TIA, > > Kevin > > > _________________________________________________________________ > Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com > FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html > Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=5361&t=5361 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
