So here is where I am currently at: I am upgrading/ moving the database to a new server. What is the best way to configure it? How many hard drives should I install? How should I configure RAID? Which drives/partitions should the database and log files go on? Thank you in advance. Your...

It is never really fast but it definitely slows down quite a bit throughout the production day. There are times when everyone just hangs. Pretty much is and has always been like this…..We just got used to the fact the system is slow. Not using SBS.

Tried Regmon. To be honest I have no idea what I am looking for/at. When logged on as userx and the account is removed from DomAdmin, the application still fails. If I right-click and select "Run-As" and use my username/password (I am DomAdmin) it works perfectly. I have tried uninstalling the...
