I think it depends on what your needs are. A project team next to me is doing an n-series NAS upgrade at the moment. We have around 6-7 large state HQ sites (largest has around 10K users) and it's not feasible to put a file server cluster backed by SAN in each large office, nor is it feasible to have all that file/CIFS traffic flowing back to the main data centres where the enterprise SANs are. Instead they use n-series NAS devices (which are sold by the incumbent outsourcer). As data storage requirement seem to be growing by around 50-100% a year, the ability to add more trays of disks is a positive. Though at some point something needs to be done around managing data growth.

From what I've read, there is no functional difference between the OS other than the availablility of some tools.

RE: SUSPECT: RE: MCSE question
All valid points, and I was not in any way discounting the value inherent in possessing a degree. My ultimate point was that I've never seen them to be a valid indicator of whether or not an individual has the skills necessary to perform their job requirements, nor does the lack of a degree limit how far one can advance in this field. In fact the vast majority of the higher-paid ($100k+) professionals I know in IT don't have a college degree and a couple of them don't even have a high school diploma. Maybe I simply know more exceptional people than most. :) Thanks, Jeremy Phillips From: John Hornbuckle [mailto:john.hornbuc...@taylor.k12.fl.us] Sent: Friday, February 06, 2009 12:03 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: SUSPECT: RE: MCSE question While it's certainly true that people can find success without a degree, that's the exception rather than the rule.

We all know that neither degrees nor certification, by themselves, prove anything other than that you've invested the time and money to get them.

The one overriding piece of crapness with MS kit that has been a thorn in my side for the last year has been Instant Search in Outlook 2007. It just doesn't work. I have read Lord knows how many blogs and articles on the subject but so far it seems there is still no consensus as to why it fails to operate for any longer than a week or so at a time. Last week I tried rebuilding all the indexes - usually a winner, however this time... no dice. So I discover _another_ new article explaining that unchecking (!!!) the folder in question from the list of folders to be searched works. This didn't work for me, however I found that unchecking the box, killing Outlook, starting outlook, checking the box again and then killing and starting Outlook again kicked the indexer off correctly and it reindexed all the mailboxes and PSTs correctly. One week later and suddenly I am only getting results from the last week from my mailbox (which contains about 4 months worth of email) - results from all PSTs are being returned fine. I am about to go back through the fix again to try to resolve the issue, but thought, through a mixed haze of anger and incredulity that I should share my pain and see if others are still having this problem with Search! Has anyone had Instant Search working correctly, consistently? Cheers for listening... Andy.

Unless you have a few VM hosts, it's not worth worrying about either way. Performance is good - very good compared to Virtual Server 2005 However there are a few drawbacks: - No real management tools yet (SCVMM vNext is required for managing Hyper-v) - A few bugs (e.g. with TCP Offload and the new NICs) - No ability to build VMs using PXE booting and using the new synthetic NICs ( you need to use a legacy NIC) If you want a drill-down into Hyper-V architecture, I did a presentation for my local user group on it that I can send to you direct.

You want to use it on top of Server Core as opposed to the standard server install to keep your parent OS from using all your resources. I'm sure you'll have many longs days of fun with it.

If so, what are your impressions? Since it is rolled into our licensing for Server 2008 anyway, we are looking at it for virtualization. It seems like it has a lot of the same features and functions as VMWare and ESX. I am just now setting up a test box for it. Any hints, tips or tricks to it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
