Guest Ricky T Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Hi, We currently have 2 Windows 2003 DCs running. We would like to replace one of them because the server is old and out of warranty and would to know what kind of hardware do you recommend. We like raid 1 with extra power supply and 4gb ram. We have 2000 users. What do you recommend? Thanks, Ricky

Guest Ricky T Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Re: hardware for Windows 2003 DC Meinolf, Thx for the prompt reply. However, I'm looking for a better, more solid server and redundencies, such as power supplies, raid. This server is also a DNS, GC server. what do you recommend in this environment? Thanks, Ricky "Meinolf Weber" wrote: > Hello Ricky, > > Start here: > http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/b92bcea3-4ca3-49f8-b535-fd99e85bb17c1033.mspx?mfr=true > > http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/d240761a-92bb-4364-b9d4-e6ef0e9e80af1033.mspx?mfr=true > > Best regards > > Meinolf Weber > Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers > no rights. > ** Please do NOT email, only reply to Newsgroups > ** HELP us help YOU!!! http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm > > > Hi, > > > > We currently have 2 Windows 2003 DCs running.

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Re: hardware for Windows 2003 DC Hello Ricky, If you have only one zone it is no problem. Also GC does not need more then this configuration.
