comment Non-trusted users on terminal services
Thanks for your hints. RemoteApp seems to be a nice way of delivering the application, although it seems not to be a big security benefit. Using Server 2008 is of course no big deal.

The publishing server is the distributor too. Does that matter in this case?

Ok thanks. I'll try to enable the write cache (in a quite moment after a backup) and test the performance gain. If it's fine, a BBU seems to be a good choice.

comment Server nearly unusable when doing disk writes
Thanks for your answer. For the next server (which I don't order myself) I'll make those things (RAID10, separate OS disk, BBU) as a requirement for sure. :) For the existing server I'll try to enable the read cache. What do you mean with "better write + ups"? The server is on a UPS, but can I enable the write-cache just with an UPS? Is this impossible or just to risky? Will the "gain from optimizatons" be significant in such "mainly copy" situations too?

Thanks for your answer. The RAID controller management tool showed no problems. Wouldn't a rebuild be shown in the logs? How can I diagnose this kind of problem other than with the RAID tools?

Thanks for your answer. In this situation, the memory usage of the system was not rising, so I don't think the system was swapping. But this may explain a problem we've had, when about once a week the server literally crashed at night. The memory usage was rising endlessly while backupping the disks to an (regularly exchanged) USB drive. We've bypassed the problem by stopping all regular tasks at backup-time.

The server got 6GB RAM and is sticked to an UPS. I heared I can't enable write cache without batteries, but seems like I've got to look it up.
