**Sorry if this isn't the right forum, BUT ... ?? Does anyone have any suggestions on the 'best' approach to setting up a .NET development environment on a departmental-scale? Basic configuration Definites right now --> Server OS = Windows 2000 Advance Server Developer's OS = Windows XP Database = SQL Server 2000 IIS = 5 NET Ver = 1.1.4322 IDE = VisualStudio.NET 2003 Version Control = Visual SourceSafe 6.0d Hardware Probables --> Quad-Zeon 2.8 hyperthreaded 2 Gigs RAM Raid Storage Systems Redundancy managed locally Some of the question are: 1- Should both the 'test' and 'live' servers be on one server? 2- Can this one server handle both? 3- Is it 'recommended' to have the ASP.NET application and the SQLServer on the same Server? 4- Is there a recommended way to configure all components (ie: IIS, Framework, SQL, SourceSafe, etc ...) I feel like I'm forgetting things ... but any extra comments would be greatly appreciated ... thanks all. psinyc
