how to install Exchange
|
|
|
| Hi all quick question please. I have been tasked to
install Exchange 2k, the server will be supporting around
60 users, I also will be hosting a chat server, and
instant messaging all on the same server as exchange. The
exchagn sever has a 40 gig hd, and a P1111 with a gig of
ram. I want to know if it would be ok to install
everything to the C: drive, the system drive? if not what
should i move off of the C: drive, i was thinking that one
thing would be the transaction log files, public store.
Anything ells?
thanks

| You really ought to at least add another hard drive and once you've
installed Exchange, move the databases & logs to it. Hardware RAID would be
a good idea (as it is on any server) but isn't absolutely necessary. Since
it sounds like you may not have worked with Exchange much before, also make
sure you have a tape drive and do full online Exchange backups nightly (can
use the built-in NTBackup) and you get good Exchange AV software like
ScanMail or Antigen. Don't back up--or let AV software scan--the M drive,
and don't touch permissions on it...

| Yes, it should be after you install Exchange... see Q257184. You can move
both the message and public folder stores, and logs.
