What are HW requirements recommendation for server ? or other recommendation from your side?
I am just becoming acquainted with Windows server , I have been ' Playing' with it in physical lab environments, so I can become comfortable and ultimately competent in using it for security (AD DC) and file permissions .
I plan on deploying a server into a small business I work with , to cut...
Fixes an issue in which you experience a long time delay (about two or three minutes) when a client computer reestablishes the IPsec connection to a Windows Server 2003-based cluster after you failover the cluster.
