Would you keep VM1 for AD, File & Print or would you eliminate it and run AD, File and Print on the Physical Host allowing me to use my 4th license for an additional Remote Desktop Server. 2. Do you agree with the Storage Configuration Design or would you change it? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
