Sell the SQL box eBay. Use the proceeds to buy two new servers that are more appropriately sized to your environment. Have a beer.
:) I doubt you'll have any performance issues, but you will at some point encounter downtime issues. In addition, you will be complicating your environment buy having two very complex services on one machine. It could make troubleshooting more difficult.

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]
