Yes the Exchange db's can be installed on a separate box. We have several instances of this (for example, EMC, Hitachi, Storage Array's). As long as there is a drive mapped to it you should be fine.
Nate Couch EDS messaging -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ian Batty Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2005 4:56 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exchange databases on NAS? A friend has suggested to me that we move all our server data onto a NAS device with a directly attached backup device. He suggests that the Exchange databases and logs go there too. The NAS will be running Windows Storage Server. Can the Exchange databases/logs be stored on another box that does not have Exchange server installed? If so, are there any things to be aware of? I am told it will be cabled with a Gigabit backplane between all the servers. He also wants to put SQL databases there too ... anyone know if this is possible too?!
