Hi Kevin,
Thanks for your response...I'll have to digest all this a bit (I'm a
programmer more than a network engineer), but to answer your first
question, WSS needs a domain account to connect with a non-local SQL
Server. With WSS on the W2k3 web edition, licensing requires a
non-local SQL Server, so it has to be a member of a domain. Besides,
while using W2k3 Standard edition as the web front end and a local
SQL server would be easy to set up, it won't scale as well. The
other architecture allows me to scale to around 4-5 WFE per SQL
Server.
SQL doesn't require you to use domain accounts, it can use its own accounts
or Windows local machine accounts.
The issue with using a Web server being a member of a domain is when web
users have access to domain account it gives them a higher level of
Privileges because a domain account can be used to access and member of the
domain. Local accounts work only on the local machine and SQL accounts have
work within a specific application.
While Exchange is a future plan, I'm not thinking about it too much
about it as yet.
Exchange does require Active Directory, but if your thinking of Exchange
2007, it is a giant leap forward in technology with about ten years
backwards in ease of management. Just about all management on Exchange 2007
uses the new command shell with very long command lines.
