The reason I brought the extra controller was the fact that I'll be using the entire
SBS and the System drives on one Controller. I still have a 3rd party application
that needs to be installed on this computer as well. So I'm wondering if I should get
a secondary controller and set it up like I have it below. Or do you think this is
overkill? Your opinions are appreciated.
Here is the setup I had in mind.
Controller 1
Controller2

Channel 1 Channel 2
Channel 1 Channel 2

(RAID 1) System Drive (RAID5) SBS2K3 Log Files, Shares,etc
3rd party software

Do you mean the apps themselves, or their data files?
I've installed a couple of SBS 2K servers and don't remember any option
to change the location of ISA, Exchange, etc (but then again, I wasn't
looking for it, either).
You can, however, change the location of the applications' data files,
which is what I think you are asking.
I don't think different controllers are warranted, but you will want to
use separate spindles for Exchange and SQL log files and data stores.
This is to facilitate disaster recovery.
If memory serves, the last SBS box I set up had a pair of 36GB drives
and a pair of 72GB drives (each pair RAID1). 8GB of the 36GB pair was
the C: drive, and the remainder used for Exchange logs (if it were
running SQL, it's logs would go there as well). The 72GB pair was split
into two 36GB partitions. One was exclusively Exchange store. The other
was everything else (applications, home directories, profiles, ISA
cache, etc.)

Subject: OT: SBS Setup
All,
I'm trying to figure out what is the best design (hardware wise) for a
SBS server that I will be setting up here in the future. I'm trying to
figure out what is the best way to maximize the server's resources with
the setup. One question I do have is. When you setup SBS can you point
all the different applications (E2K3, SQL, Sharepoint etc) do different
file locations? I tried asking the MS Conceirge people but they didn't
know as well. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to maybe
seperate some apps and put them on their own controllers. What do you
recommend?
TIA,
