Thanks I will take a look at that

Does anyone know of a enterprise level Anti-Virus solution that will work with Server 2008? We purchased Symantec Endpoint at the same time as the server/server 2008 And now I am told that the manager will not run on server 2008, only the client portion will work. And that I would have to install the software on another machine....

I have found exactly what i was looking for on the Windows site. It is a set of instrcutions called "Foundation Network Guide" Not only does it give a check list, it gives a complete recommended setup and pre-planning ideas for deploying your Server 2008 network. You can find the download of this guide Here Thanks for all the help! And also thanks for the site! I have found lots of very useful information her. I hope that I will be able to contribute to the forms in some small way in the future. T

Thanks for the info... I was just unsure of exactly what i needed to do.

Hello to all again. Can someone direct me to the reason that I would need a router instead of a switch? I have a small network running peer-to-peer ( for right now until I get the new server up and tested) we have 4 switches right now: 2 10/100 and 2 10/100/1000. What would be the reasons for obtaining a router at this point? My boss seems to think that we won't need a router because we already have the switches. Is this correct? or should I get the router? Will Server 2008 take care of the needs that a router would fulfill? Lots of questions, but I want to get the true "netowrk" up and running correctly. Not just a bunch of linked computers? Any info or direction to existing info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks T

Thanks for the info.

Hello Everyone, I'm looking for a simple check list for the instalation, and deployment of Server 2008. I do know that a check list would depend on the exact usage for the server. I'm just looking for starting point. I haven't had any exposure to A server environment for about 4 yrs. And ten, only with Server 2003. T
