Server 2012 install plan

[karldenton]

Hi

 

Current situation is 1 school server (120 users), doing everything (server 2003) and 1 admin server (5 users - server 2003.)

 

Proposal is to purchase 1 server and split into virtual ones (i've got the quotes already). This is my proposed install plan if you could check it over please.

 

Many thanks
