I thought I'd throw this post up while I do my research.
I've got SBS2003 on a Dell Power Edge 2950 (with 3 x 146GB SAS SCSI's)running as my only domain controller and Exchange Server.
I have no space left on any of my disk drives. And Exchange dismounting everyday. I have read that I can increase my Exchange store up to 75gb but the drive is physically full!
When I arrived here as admin I noticed that nothing was mirrored or RAIDed. They have put the OS on C:, Userdata on D:, Spare: E (which is full - LOL).
I have just bought 4 2TB SCSI drives and I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how to put them into action.
I have a spare 2950 chassis and was thinking of using 2 spare 146gb's to mirror and fresh install of 2003. Then I could use the 2TB's for a RAID5 for all my data.
Then I have to figure out how to get all my databases and shares working properly again. This scares me.
How would you do it?
