another tip is to not make a joe-shmo built machine as a server.
By a name that they can recognize as a server, like maybe a compaq ML- series
this way if it breaks, you get a hold of compaq, and they take care of it, not you...
I couldn't agree more. But as I say cost is a big factor. This has come to us third-hand

thing with ISA Server - the more RAM the better, as with Exchange, but putting them both on a machine is stupid.
We're trying to give a system spec. that will provide some kind of internet firewall and internal mail service. Any suggestions if not ISA and exchange? I've mostly dealt with NT Server, MS proxy server and exchange 5.5. Working on Win2k MCSE at the moment so it's all good experience. I'm tempted to give a quote for setting up a Compaq server but we'd probably price ourselves out of it.
