LMS 3.1 on MCS7825 server

RICHARD MESSINGER · ‎11-04-2008

Quick question.

If I order a MCS7825-H3-ECS1 server with the Unity System Disks, can I load LMS 3.1 on to it and have it run , or should I just go out and purchase an HP directly with Windows Server on it?

Thanks.

I use these servers in my lab to run LMS, and they work fine (for small networks). However, you will not be able to run Unity on the same system. I simply reimage the servers with Windows 2003.

That said, the last 7825s I setup were a bit of a pain. The RAID drivers weren't included with Windows 2003 SP1 R2. If you can get one of these servers with Windows 2003 pre-loaded, and ready to go for LMS, you might be much better off.
