Re: Advice Needed re: Best Setup for Two Organizations Sharing Single

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

I *think* I like SG's suggestion the best. Email can be controlled with
recipient policies or default SMTP settings, the rest is trust that folders
are kept separate so that Church_Payroll.xls is not open to Not for Profit
Susan, and vice versa.

OTOH, if two IP's could be had from the ISP this really simplfies things. I
have more than one location where there are two SBS servers sharing one inet
connection (fractional T1) where there are 5 ip's available. This leaves
three or more for web cams or the like.

What would your non-profit say to a suggestion 'OK, you guys are buying a
server, how about we let the church piggy back along on it?'.

Setting up a single SBS, say SBS.StMarks.local then having it look after
email for nonprofit.com _and_ church.com would be less complicated than
the other scenarios, and in the long term provide a less expensive and
less complex environment to both. Of course, there would need to be
discussions, information/resource sharing, what happens if they separate?
Possibly many issues.

just a thought.

Hi There,

I have just acquired a new client that is a non-profit (5 x WinXP
desktops)
sharing office space with a church. The church is not my client although
I
hope it might be at some point in the future. Both share a single DSL
connection. Both are currenly running peer to peer with no central file
management or server etc. Staff at the non profit are frustrated and
ready to
move to a server based network. I don't see a problem with the non-profit
having an SBS server on their own and the church continuing to be peer to
peer (single DNS and DHCP server) but what happens down the road if the
church decides to get SBS as well.

- I am assuming two SBS can't exist in the same subnet even with
different
domains ... can someone verify this?

- If two SBS servers can't co-exist in same subnet can two regular
Windows
2003 Servers exist (non-profit is using Act and won't really need
Exchange)
or can I have one SBS server in one domain and one Win 2003 Server in
another
domain?

- Has anyone tried adding two additional routers in a Y configuration so
they each have their own subnet (they use VPN which might make this a
challenge) but still share internet connection

- Any other suggestions would be appreciated.


Thanks

Steve
