Title:
Complete Upgrade - Win 2k to Win 2003 including Hardware
Hello All,
We are planing a upgrade of our servers from win2k to win 2003 however we
want to purchase new servers for this to go onto.
We are using two servers with the below current configuration:
Server One (Win 2k):
- ROOT DC
- DHCP
- DNS
- WINS
- File Server
- Print Server
- Client AntiVirus Server
Server Two (Win 2k):
- Exchange 2000 (Upgrade to Win 2003)
- Exchange Virus Software
- IIS
- MS SQL SERVER
Does anyone have any advice on doing this? Any precautions? Best steps to
take? Improvement ideas on structure? Whitepapers or resources?
Hardware side of things:
We are currently using two Compaq Proliant 1850R Servers with three drives
(RAID-5 Config) and a forth drive as cache drive. Each server contains:
CDROM, FLOPPY and Backup TAPE Drives.
I am looking for servers like this (maybe exclude the cache drive and use
the forth in the RAID-5 config) but with higher specs, anyone have any
suggestions on decently priced servers along these lines?
Any better suggestion on the Server config is welcome.
Thanks in advance,
As always any help is much appreciated,
Kind Regards,
Tarran Walker
