On friday (9th June) the final parts for my new server arrived and I've been spending the last 2 days getting it ready for being switched on.
The new server is a 3.0ghz P4 HT processor, 1gb DDR400 ram (which will go up to 1.5gb when I take the old server offline), DVDRW (god knows y), intergrated graffics and sound, 200gb SATA 300 HDD, and the all importand floppy disk drive for the raid drivers

.
This new server is quite fast compared to the other one, but the only problem is exchange, which doesn't support 64 bit, which meant I had to find my 32bit Server disk, lol. When exchange 2007 comes out, I'll wait for vista server to come out before updating.
Spent day 1 just trying to get exchange working, but gave up. It's now day 2, almost day 3, and I have the whole system almost ready, just have to permission check the user registery profiles, and finish setting up IIS, and it should be ready for deployment.
The clients on the network, will be down while I change the domain on them over to the new domain. Changed from 'brownhome' to 'brownfamily', but brownfamily will most prob change back to brownhome when I take the old server down.
The clients will prob be done as soon as the old server goes down, so not to annoy my brother.
Check back for more updates
