Hi all my first time here for a while. I'd appreciate comments and feed back
on the following possible setup I had in mind.
My HW is a 7xHS20 IBM Blade config each with 2x3Ghz Xeons and 4GM ram
I need to provide exchange and a TSE environment for about 50 average users
running a mix of word, excel and outlook.

I was considering clustering 2 or 3 of the blades and providing TSE and
exchange does anyone think that would be a problem ? Should i seperate the
exchange side and only give the users TSE on 2 blades in a cluster and 1
blade for exchange. I kind of like the idea of having all services in the
cluster but I'm not sure about mixing the TSE and exchange enviroments.

Also can any one point me at a step by step guide to a cluster setup ?
without having to read a million documents ?

The AD/DHCP/WINS etc will be on a seperate blade .

Thanks in advance

Terminal Services really works well with NLB if you set the affinity
properly. I highly recommend reviewing these two articles, first.

Installing Exchange and Outlook on the same server is not supported. So,
definitely separate them.
