Re: SBS and DNS

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

As others have said don't move those off of the SBS.

Thanks for your answers. Right now the box is doing the following

2 Nic cards, internal and external
Firewall (I need to see if it is doing ISA)
DHCP
DNS
Sharepoint
Mobile users
VPN
share points
exchange
AD

My idea is to move DNS, Exchange, VPN, DHCP and firewall off the SBS
to:

Cisco Pix 506e - Firewall, VPN, DHCP
Mac OS X - DNS and email using Kerio

I was told by a friend that with this done a lot of processing and
memory usage will be free again. There server has around or just over
3GB of memory and its being peged from time to time.
