to me if they are both mission critical app's leave them on separate boxes. why make your life harder and the potential failure for the business greater then it needs to be... machine are inexpensive....time is not...
my shop it about that same size....I wouldn't do it...I like the KISS principal .. to me certain things just should be shared... maybe in an inexpensive DR home grown type thing, lab..etc...production..no thanks bill -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 14, 2003 3:06 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange and SQL Move Exchange to this box, move SQL to the old Exchange server? -----Original Message----- From: Scott Force [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 14, 2003 11:56 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exchange and SQL We have an SQL 2000 server with quad processors, 4 gigs of ram, and 3 raid configurations with about 200 gb of hd space that's basically being used to run a 2 gb database for about 20 users that will never grow. My boss thinks we should move our exchange 5.5 server (about 120 users) to this box (going to Exchange 2000 in a few months) because it's not being utilized fully. Other than the "if we lose SQL we lose Exchange" theory, why else is this a bad idea? Thanks in advance, Scott. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
