RE: [ActiveDir] NTDIS Size

[Joe]

That should be plenty but it depends a lot on what AD Apps you will be using and what kind of data they will be jamming into the directory. For instance if you start shoving a bunch of binary blobs (like pictures) in you could eat space pretty quickly. For a basic authorization and Exchange environment you should have more than enough.   You won't be buying anything in terms of performance by splitting up into D/E/F and putting files on the other logical drives. If you do it, do it for organizational reasons if at all. Personally I would recommend keeping them all together.     joe From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of George Arezina Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2003 5:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unfortunately, Management wants us to abide by their budget for the year. Therefore, we have to be within budget goals when it comes to spending money on hardware.   How about this hdd configuration:   First Mirror: System Partition (18GB)   Second Mirror: 72GB broken into D, E, F volumes.

I plan to install two mirrored drives on my server. One Mirror will be the system partition (18GB) and the second mirror will be 72GB where my ndts.dit database will be located.
