We have two server class machines. I listened to Dell instead of the local VAR and got two massive machines instead of a couple "pizza box" servers for DCs and a NAS. It would have been much smarter to go with the suggestion of the VAR, which is kinda where I am planning on going now, three or 4 years later. :-)
Long story short -- when I first came here, I was VERY green and didn't trust the VAR (even though they had directly helped me get this job) and so I listened to Dell when they suggested a couple massive servers with on-board storage. Now I find myself in the position to go back to that very same VAR and ask them for their recommendation for hardware to do pretty much what they suggested several years ago. :D -----Original Message----- From: Joseph Heaton [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2011 1:30 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Copiers You're using a DC as file storage?

Currently our Kyocera machines scan to a folder on the server and the sharing is done that way... not on the MFP. Does the Sharp actually do the sharing off itself or does it scan to a server?

It took several tries for us to get it all figured out. Jury's still out as far as which I like better now that we have it working.

Other than that we absolutely LOVE the sharp copiers. they are faster and require less maintenance, in our exprience. We have 10+ units at various locations. 4 sharp's introduced over the last 3 years. On Tue, Apr 19, 2011 at 11:06 AM, John Aldrich <[email protected]> wrote: Do you guys like Sharp copiers? I'm talking with the local Sharp rep about them buying out our Kyocera lease and brining in a bunch of Sharp MFP/copiers and printers. ~ 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 ~ 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 ~ 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 ~ 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 ~ 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 ~ 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 ~ 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 ~ 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 ~ 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
