RE: [ActiveDir] AD 2003 DB
Yup, I agree it should be sufficient, unless Juan some additional AD-integrated apps that might blow up the size of the database. Have you looked at the ADSizer tool? Can be helpful when you're starting out. http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/new/adsizer-o .asp Tony -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2003 6:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] AD 2003 DB More than enough...

Title: Message 70GB is more than enough for the size of your organization. We have ~ 800 users, and our DC's use much less than 1GB for the database. We have 3 sets of mirrored drives in our DC's for redunancy and performance.

RE: [ActiveDir] AD 2003 DB
Title: AD 2003 DB If you mean for AD DIT only, that should be considerably more than you will need unless you are doing some very unusual things like storing huge binary blobs in AD. My largest domain in terms of users is about 100,000 users and 30-40k groups and 50k or so machines and it is only about 4GB. Our entire forest with a couple of hundred thousand users, probably 100k machines, 80k or so groups, and 150k or so contacts spread acrossnine domains has a GC size ofabout 8GB.
