NT Server - Migration

Rarehunter · 05-19-2009, 02:06 PM

Hey all,

I am running a home-office type of business and I have 4 computers (2 XP, 2 Vista) connected to an NT server. However, I am running out of space on this NT server and would like to upgrade.

My main goal is to increase the hard drive capacity of my server. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the cheapest way to upgrade? Should I buy a new machine installed with Windows 2003 or 2008 server? How much would it cost? I am also looking for the simplest and cost-effective way to upgrade. The less wires involved, the better.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I suppose I could go out and buy bigger hard drive but an upgrade from NT to something would be nice.

Thanks for the help.

buy a new server with 2003/2008 on it.

NT4 still has some limits even with bigger HDs ... and NT4 is awful.
