    hard disk recommendations for SBS2008

    Hi guys, I'm writing this in the hope to open discussions on hard disk configurations and to see what other IT pros who look after a lot of SBS setups do. I've only done 3 SBS2008s and I always err on the side of caution when picking the hardware so most of my experience is on about 20...

    ML350 noise levels, suitable for open plan office?

    I've never purchased an ML350 before so i'm just wondering if one can be installed in an open plan office without making everyone go deaf! How loud are they at normal room temperature? close to silent or just bearable? I've used lots of ML310s and they are really quiet and that's what i'm...

    I have some Dells with Perc 4 cards and when the raid fails the server starts beeping like mad so that i'm alerted to the fact. I have a lot of newer servers with Perc 5 and 6 cards but these cards do not create an audible alarm, i have confimed this with Dell. Apart from manually checking the...

    Silent Dell server for SBS install

    I'm needing to install a new SBS2003 in a client's office. The server will be located in an office with people working in it. Due to this i would like a server which is pretty quiet. I've used PowerEdge 840, T300, 1900 and 2900 and these, IMO, are a little too noisey for an office space. Anyone...

    OWA from the web

    Hi guys, I've just taken over my first E2007 site and i'm still learning about this version (i'm confident with E2003 though). The one question i have is, does OWA work across the web by default? OWA works fine internally but i can't get it to work externally. I think it's a firewall...

    Reinstalling DNS for whole domain

    Hi Guys, i have a dns issue with my 2003 domain. I'm not sure what's wrong as everything looks ok but it doesn't if you know what i mean.

    Anyone got a PowerEdge T300

    I'm looking to buy a PE T300 but i need to know about the noise levels of this machine. I asked Dell how comparable it was to the PE840 and they said "roughly the same". Doesn't fill me with confidence. I will be running this server in an office space, not in a server room. Is the noise...
