Sounds like you are covered for GC in your Exchange site.  With 6 GC CPUs you can support up to 24 Exchange CPUs (generic recommendations).  There are a few good docs out that there that talk about capacity planning for Exchange.   http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=875427  http://technet2.microso

I agree with Brian, but I'll add to that the consideration of how those images are going to be used. For example, are they going to be read frequently? Moved around? Or is this just long term storage? What is your storage lifecycle expectation for these pictures? That could sway your decision about

Yes the exchange DCs sit in a subnet of their own. There are three dual CPU GCs that sit there. They don’t even break a sweat.   Thanks, Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED]   c - 312.731.3132     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Teo De Las Heras

If it’s very high write volume you may see issues, but otherwise you should be fine.   Not sure why you would need a firmware upgrade, but, you can always grab the Proliant support pack from HPQ and let it tell you what versions are current for your HW.   Thanks, Brian Desmond [EMAIL P

That's a huge user base.  Do you also have Exchange 2003 deployed?  Microsoft recommends one GC processor for every two Exchange 2003 processors.   Teo  On 5/20/06, Brian Desmond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I have two DL380s sitting in a hub site servicing upwards of 40K machines and 200K users

Hi,   I have a Compaq ML370 Proliant Tower Server, our lab department are creating digital images that are 30mb per pic so I need lots of storage space.   I am thinking of putting in 4x300gb Ulta320 SCSI drives in a RAID5 set, does anyone see any performance problems with this?   Does anyone

Joe,   What would you recommend for remote sites that are part of an AD domain with 40,000 users (in terms of spindles)?  If the remote site has 1,000 - 3,000 users would a DL360 be enough?  Everything would be on a single RAID 1 partition.   We're consolidating the Exchange environment and we're

Hmm good point... Well except we were talking about oldcmp instead of adfind... Fun though that the switches are so close... So what are the switches and the filter to use with dsquery to get an html listing of all enabled users whose password age is 90 days or older? :) -- O'Reilly Active
