Yes, but then you essentially loose 1GB of RAM since win2k will only allocate 2GB of virtual address space to applications.

Normal server will work fine with 3Gb. But then you knew that :) -----Original Message----- From: Ken Cornetet [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 18 June 2002 15:15 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: New Exchange 2000 Install I think you are on the right track. If you do anything different, add more RAM. BTW, With 3GB you will need to use the boot.ini switch /3GB, which requires windows 2000 advance server. Otherwise, your apps (Exchange) will only get 2GB See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q266096 for more details. -----Original Message----- From: Bob Chyka [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 17, 2002 11:12 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: New Exchange 2000 Install Hello everybody, just looking for a little guidance/insight on a new project im looking at doing. i have exchange 5.5 running at 3 different companies and understand how it works, etc. for the college that i work for, they want me to deploy a exchange 2000 server that will host 2000 mail accounts. i just need some guidance of where i should go to design our server for this many users and how to set up exchange. i wanted to split the users onto a couple servers but money doesnt allow this right now. this is the hardware i have to work with. i have a dell 6400 with dual PIII 1.0ghz xeons with 2 megs of cache. i have 3 gigs of ram and 7 hard drives to work with with a perc RAID controller. i was going to configure raid 1 for the OS and another RAID 1 set for the log files, then use the last 3 drives in a raid 5 config for the databases. i have some whitepapers from microsoft on how to set up the server with that many users but they dont really get into details. any help is greatly appreciated! thanks for your time, Bob C. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
