Question
You are a network consultant for Company. You have a network that contains 50 Microsoft Windows XP Professional client computers with similar hardware configuration and software configuration. There is a single Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 computer that host e- mail function, file sharing, and a proprietary database for an accounting software package. The accounting group reports poor response of the accounting software, which stores data on the server. You diagnose that the accounting database is consuming excessive resources from other services on the Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 computer. You purchase a new computer system to offload some of the server loAD . You need to add a new member server to accommodate the Company’s need with least amount of administrative effort. What should you do?

Explanation
Explanation: Because Windows Server 2003 is the underlying operating system in Windows Small Business Server, all files, records, and configurations are migrated without change. You lose nothing and gain all the abilities of a Windows Server 2003 domain. Migrating to a new server is a complex process that requires a new domain (hosted by the new server) and moving all data and accounts. But in this case you are only adding to the existing server to offload some of the server loAD . Thus option C is the solution. Incorrect answers: A: This option would be best if you wanted the additional server to take on the whole workload of the existing server. However, you only need to offload some of the server loAD . Besides you should be installing Microsoft Windows 2003 Server on the new member server and not the Small Business Server software. B: You need to migrate the accounting database to the member server and redirect the accounting software to the new member server. There is no need to install SQL server on the new member D: There is no need to install Microsoft Exchange Server and to configure replication partners. This is not going to ease the load of the existing server. 2003: Administrator's Companion, Microsoft Press, Redmond, 2004, Chapter 1, p. 9
