Thanks for yo_bee in delving into detailed information about the resources allocation. I used 8 GB, and SCCM is working. I also allocate 100 / 200 / 150, for C:, D:, and E:, respectively. So far is working.

This is the planning for new SCCM 2012 r2 single server resources. As we are going to use a VMware Virtual machine, my management is very concern about the hardware resources dedication. Hardware resources, such as memory, virtual harddisks. As for the loads, this server is going to support well below 220 clients - 170 Windows Clients and 40 servers (also VM).<br />
<br />
As for this SCCM server drive partitions, there are C: drive (for OS), D: drive (for programs - WSUS, SCCM), and E: drive (for MS SQL 2012). One virtual hard disk for each drive, what would be the lowest hard disk sizes for the above 3 drive partitions in the 2-year time?<br />
I know that some experts recommend 16 GB RAM, set max/min - 8 GB for SQL, and remaining 8 GB for SCCM system. Can I set 4 GB for SQL, and 4 GB for SCCM system to support 220 clients?<br />
<br />
Appreciate your suggestions and helps. <br />

Microsoft server applications are those applications developed specifically, but not necessarily exclusively, on the Windows Server platform. In addition to well-known products like SQL Server, Exchange, Internet Information Services (IIS), Microsoft Dynamics, Forefront, Lync and Sharepoint, they include applications like Skype, BizTalk, Hyper-V, Groove and Commerce Server. Server applications are managed with the Microsoft System Center.
