You'll need to do the math to figure out the appropriate mailbox quotas for
all your users, as yo have Exchange Standard (and hence a 16GB limit for
your mail store). Leave room for deleted item retention.
Re hardware specs - what are you planning to use? |

We are planning on using a HP Proliant server for this purpose. If you can
advice on which one is stable & good performance wise. what would be the
ideal HDD space for 200 users & what kind of disk arrays is advisable mirror
raid5e etc.
i have read a few say put logs on 1 mirror set the db on another n the store
on another. is this advisable or is there a standard for this kind of
deployment.
im thinking of going for the enterprise package.
im relatively new to the exchange environment so please pardon the naiveness
of my queries.
thanks & kind regards
