So, I've been playing around with Hyper-V for a few days, I've created a couple of test servers, and I'm ready now to create a "real" one.
One thing I'm not sure of is whether I should create one drive or two for the servers. A blog post from a member of Microsoft's Hyper-V team recommend two as a matter of best practice--one for the OS, and the other for data. We've always split up our physical servers this way, since the Windows NT days. My question is, is it still necessary? If so, why? Back in the day, security was a big reason. For instance, if you had a web server serving content on your D: drive and the server was hacked making the whole drive accessible, the OS couldn't be touched since it was on the C: drive. With the current versions of Windows Server and IIS, is this still a consideration?
