Real World Ssytems Requirements for PDC

[ktigre]

Can anyone point me a direction as to how to calculate the Disk Requirements for a Primary Domain Controler as well as a Secondary? We are just beginning our setup of Active Directory, but when it's all done it will be 350+ users, in the domain and the domain will be subordinant to one in our corporate office.

Thanks,
Chris

Real World... We have over 3,000 users and computers in our AD database and our NTDS.dit file is less than 100MB's

I would'nt worry about the size of your AD database... we have a 9GB drive allocated for AD...I don't think we'll ever come close to using it....plus even if we did, it is possible to easily move the database and log files to a new disk. Joseph L. Poandl
