For right now we're looking at about 35 Windows servers. We have about 20 Unix servers, but I'm not sure that whatever we implement will be used on the Unix servers.
In about 2 years we will be consolidating 4 other locations to our location. This will mean taking on some of their hardware, but I'm not sure how many machines that will ultimately end up being. We do have a small Blackberry environment, as well as Hyper-v...and there are serious talks about implementing MOSS and OCS. I'll take a look at Spotlight. Thanks for the recommendations (to everyone.)
