I subscribe to KISS 2 cents bill PS my 2 DL330 1-2.0Ghzp4/1MB RAM/Dual 80GB IDE 8200RPM Mirrored via the cpw ML330 built in raid... insert disk let it load... -----Original Message----- From: Bowles, John (OIG/OMP) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 1:25 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: OT: SBS Setup All, I'm trying to figure out what is the best design (hardware wise) for a SBS server that I will be setting up here in the future. I'm trying to figure out what is the best way to maximize the server's resources with the setup. One question I do have is. When you setup SBS can you point all the different applications (E2K3, SQL, Sharepoint etc) do different file locations? I tried asking the MS Conceirge people but they didn't know as well. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to maybe seperate some apps and put them on their own controllers. What do you recommend?
