To the best of my knowledge (and I'd like to know if this has changed), SIS is only available in the specialized Windows Storage Server; not in normal Windows Server.

From: Glen Johnson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 29 September 2010 13:41 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: SIS Looking for thoughts and opinions on enabling this on server 08 and 08R2 for general file servers. I've not done this, just thinking about doing it. Anyone done it and what was the outcome. Background. I am attending a meeting for our Community College which is being hosted by NetApp and they are bragging about dedup and all the benefits in data reduction. I don't think we can afford their system, but if I could get a reasonable reduction by using something we already have, I'd use it. Also, anyone have a recommendation for a free or very low cost utl that would scan a drive and report on duplicate files. I know I can google for a util and will, but would also appreciate any "words of wisdom from you folk". Thanks.
