I agree totally with Ed...and avoid too many app's on one box .... (I've got boxes with just 1 app that's a pain) I recently did have to do such a thing..(and break my own person rule of never!)
W2K Svr, (DHCP, F/P, IIS) sp2+sp2postfixes faxination Device (fax ports back to my Faxsvr) Surfcontrol Web filter Trend Server Protect Trend Office Corp (for local user AV, mng..etc) APC pwrchute for UPS VNC DL380, int RAID, dual 36GB, 1.5GB RAM... doesn't sound bad does it??? umm....wish that was the case...does it finally run?? Yes..stable? 95% (that's good for all that fluff there), actually Ill jinx myself...it's just been running..took 3 loadeds to get it just so....but one app requires I mess with it manually cause it's config interface doesnt want to run right..pain... Hey it's an offcie of like 12 people, if it survives and goes to more people..will I put in another box and divide it up ...you bet! in a heart beat... But it will definately depend on the app's and how the play together... Would I do it from the start for say 30+ people..no way...share some ..yes..totally no.. especially if it's got to communicate with other machine on the end of some WAN type thingy 2 cents bill -----Original Message----- From: Ed Crowley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2003 12:02 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: A bit off topic - Multiple apps on 1 server I don't personally like the idea but it's what Small Business Server is all about, albeit for a smaller office population.

We are currently rolling out Exchange 2000 - we have about 10,000 users in several locations - 150-300 users per office on average. We run the Exchange 2000 servers also as Domain Controllers, with the addition of DNS and DHCP. Everything works just fine, but now the CTO wants to start doing an "Office in a Box" concept - where we load tons of additional apps on this server. Sort of like Small Business Server - but with additional licenses (more than 50), and not all the apps are Microsoft. I thought we were being a bit risky having Exchange on the same server as a DC, DNS, and DHCP. Does anyone have any advice on this? Bad idea? Terrible idea?
