Too many services?

[iolair]

Good Morning all. I am currently running 2 servers with 65 client machines on a small LAN. Server one handles domain control, DNS, DHCP, Anti-Virus, Backup, File, and Print services. Server two handles domain control, IIS, Exchange, and fax services. Do I need more servers? Do I need to split up my services over more servers? Things seem to be running okay, but we might add 3 more users next year. TIA.

Could you give us the hardware server configuration.

In my option

Split the second one in two :

- Domain Controler
- Exchange/Fax


and

Split the first one in :

- Domain control, DNS, DHCP, Anti-Virus
- Backup, File, and Print services.

Thanks

Both servers are Dell PowerEdge 2850's with RAID 5 and 4GB of ram. Server one has three 72GB SCSI disks, and server two has three 36GB SCSI disks. They both are connected to a Cisco 2950 24 port switch via CAT5 UTP. The server with tape backup has a 20/40GB DAT drive installed. TIA.
