Heavy, Man
The near-twin servers I will be setting up in the next few weeks arrived today.
151 Pounds each.
Fully crated, anyway. Boxes were probably 20 of that.
Which still means I can barely lift the servers. They come surprisingly close to the heaviest known weight I’ve ever lifted, which was 142 lbs when I was in excellent shape.
Anyway, this is the start of my being very busy for the next month. One will be Exchange Server 2003 and Windows 2003 Server, replacing the NT PDC, BDC, proxy server, and the Exchange 5.5 functionality currently handled on a slightly overloaded Windows 2000 server that never played well with NT. The other will be Windows 2003 Server with SQL Server 2005, and will replace a Windows 2000 Pro machine hosting accounting software, and a SQL Server 6.5 NT machine.
This should be interesting…
I am, by no means, an expert like you are. In the experience I’ve had, it appears that Microsoft has improved their business line significantly, and it is easier to work with.
That said, options of equal importance can be found at the top level of a menu or five screens deep, still.
