The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Server 2003 and Exchange licensing

Asked by Vardata in Microsoft Server, Computer Servers

Tags: Microsoft, Server 2003, HP Servers

Hi All,

I had a couple questions regarding licensing and network setup.
 
First licensing&

Here is my current network configuration:
(1) SBS 2003 server doing everything! (Email, DNS, IIS, DHCP...etc) w/ 25 CALS and 1 server license.
(1) Server 2003 running BB enterprise and SQL. w/ 1 server license.

I just purchased 2 new servers to implement into my network so I can disperse services across multiple servers for obvious reliability reasons. I have been told that the 25 SBS2003 CALS cover my Exchange CALS as well and that I can re-use these on my new Server 2003 without purchasing new CALS for Exchange or Server 2003. Is this true?
 

My plan is to keep all the servers in the network which gives me a total of 4. My implementation plan is to have all of the servers running Server 2003 along with the services listed below each one:

Server 1 The newest and "biggest" server has (5) 72GB drives&
* Server 2003
* Exchange 2003
* Norton AV Enterprise
* RAID 5 with 3-4 drives and the other drive(s) will be for storage.
* File sharing

Server 2 The second new server has (2) 160GB drives&
* Server 2003
* BB enterprise
* SQL
* RAID 1

Server 3 The original server that has (6) 18GB drives
* Server 2003
* DNS
* IIS for internal company website using SharePoint
* DHCP
* File sharing

Server 4 The original BB server
* Server 2003
* MS backup

Does anyone have any suggestions or changes that they would make? I appreciate your help!
