1) Your AD backup job should probably point to an off-machine data store, like your file server. 2) Your temp directory needs to be cleaned. 3) You need to remove Acrobat Reader from the machine, and the install files. Bad juju. 4) Are you running WSUS on this box? Kurt On Mon, Jun 7, 2010 at

What's your budget? You should take a peak at iStor, particularly the iS512. Lots of controller and drive options. Also available in a 10G model. http://www.istor.com/products/is512/ You could get 8TB of SATA for under $20K. SAS prices are going to be higher, of course. Another good

Budget is between 5K - 10K, since we're a start up. But with the product we provide, and the feedback we are getting, it could turn into something huge so expandability and scalability are important as well. Jay Dale I.T. Manager, 3GiG Mobile: 713.299.2541 Email:

Take a look at Silicon Mechanics. They are VERY budget-friendly and expandable. As I mentioned, I can get 3 or 4 SANs with about 5 Tb of disk space (useable) for under $30k. I don't think you'll get much better than that! John-AldrichTile-Tools From: Jay Dale [mailto:jay.d...@3-gig.com]

Exchange Active Sync w/o a Front-End exchange server?

You can force everything to SSL, but a great deal of functionality in Exchange is dependent on IIS. ActiveSync, OWA, Exchange Web Service, Outlook Anywhere (RPC / HTTPs), WebDAV, OAB downloads, free/busy web service, etc.etc. If IIS gets hosed, you're screwed anyway. :) Regards, Michael B.
