Hi,
I'm building a Server for a small business (up to ~5 Workstations... not much growth after that - it's a tattoo shop)... and was wondering if you guys could give me feedback on this build. I've made some minor mistakes before building Small-business Servers... And this time I'm looking for a 'no-mistake' build, if you will...
