Group,

We are going through the design phase of a Windows 2000 Active Directory and
need some real world advice.  Just about everywhere I read, it says to have
a separate volume for %systemroot%, SYSVOL, Print spool, and any data.  We
are thinking about the following:

5GB Partition 1 - C drive - %systemroot% 
2GB Partition 2 - D Drive - SYSVOL and \NTDS
2GB Partition 3 - E Drive - Print Spool and any other "log" files that we
can redirect
nGB Partition 4 - F Drive - The remainder allocated to user data.

1. Enabling disk quotas, but not restricting space.
2. Use an alert to monitor disk space.
3. We have all Dell PowerEdge servers with RAID5 via PERC cards
4. If we use dynamic disks we can resize the D: and E: drives (but not the
%systemroot%)

We will have 7 Windows 2000 servers and 2 WinNT 4 servers doing various
things.  SQL server, Exchange server, data, Proxy file/print.  We have, in
the past adopted a philosophy of running services on separate servers.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,
