SBS 2003 mostly configures itself, however I partition the disk into 2 and would move the databases. Watch what you are doing Andrew, SBS is an odd beast....use the wizards or you run the risk of breaking it. Also if your going to update ite it to sp1, do a bit of research first. If I was you I would join one of the SBS groups such as http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sbs2k S -----Original Message----- From: Andrew English [mailto:andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, June 04, 2005 10:32 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] SBS2003 Question http://www.MSExchange.org/ I have a new client who recently bought a company that went under and the owner had his IT company sell him a IBM enterprise server with SBS 2003 Server. I have seen in the past a few messages in this form that it's a no-no to install Exchange on the system drive which I clearly agree, however since SBS is a different breed on it's own I wonder if the same rule applies? Also the guys who install SBS 2003 have their MCSE's and so far I have to say from what I have examined they have a don't a less than half ass job with configuring the server. The server has 1 137GB partition with everything installed on it, except for ISA 2004 server, and has no antivirus, or email antivirus/anti-spyware on it.
