      Server Brand, Family Model and Server OS (security has to be top notch no opensource please 😊)?

      This is a conflict in two ways.

      First: Never apply arbitrary rules when they aren't in line with your goals, this is illogical.
      Second: Open source is specifically vastly better specifically for security. I think you worded this incorrectly. If security was your goal, it is closed source you'd be wary to use, not open.

      Do you have a macro to respond to stuff like this, or do you type it up each time?

      🙂

      LOL, I type it up each time. If I get to the macro point, I write an article and link it.

        If you do a search on the title here, you get this same topic, with no responses from the OP, in a few other locations. I think he ran away or something.

          The best answer I've seen from another site is the one from LastChip at Tech Advisor by IDG:

          "Why do you think many of the top tech companies in the world use Linux?

          If you mean you're bringing this in house, you'd better have a world class security expert to monitor it. Security for a legal firm would be a nightmare and any breach could be catastrophic to your companies reputation.

          I for one, wouldn't offer any guidance as it needs in depth analysis by an expert in your field.

          With respect, the fact you're asking theses questions suggests you don't have that level of expertise."

            Following up @hari, you had loads of responses in minutes. And we keep watching over this. I haven't seen you follow up here or any other community you joined for this question. Is there more that we can help with?

              @Texkonc it's been a long time since ML has seen a 1PW.

                      1PW's drive me absolutely insane. Between here (which has been realllllllly nice) and 🌶 , I wish their was a count at the top for how many times the original poster replied.

                      Nothing worse than seen 5 pages of replies asking for further info to solve their problem when the 1PW abandons the post.

                        I've seen other forums that required things like higher post counts before being able to start a new thread. I am not sure of that solves the problem or just moves it to somewhere else. I think I have also seen where new users must post to the "newbie" section before a moderator would unlock their access to post in the other sections, that way they didn't dilute the main content. I am not sure if that is a good idea or not, but it is something that is sometimes done.

                          Its' super rare here, this is one of the very few. On 🌶 it's the norm, I swear. So common.

                            The upside of allowing anyone to start a thread, is that at least we have good discussions from it.

                                @JasGOt Hi Thanks for the reply and your recommendations, sorry for the delayed response. Had to research more on 'our requirements' vs what 'we think we need' rather 'what we do need' As you were knew from the Post i am new to this.

                                About G Suite Sync for Microsoft Outlook 4.0.16.0 we have here.
                                Setting the mailbox size to 1GB and getting them to use Gmail for older emails. Than will raise it according depending on user needs. This has fix most Outlook Syncing from Gsuite issues here.

                                The below KB help to clearing identify what wont sync..

                                https://support.google.com/a/answer/6209363

                                This statement from the vendor was surprising 'We are strongly advice to use the web interface and not 3rd party apps to connect to our mail services.'

                                Just sharing on what i found and fix here. Thank again.

                                    Why is that surprising? Third party apps just create extra things to break. The web interface is the official one that they control and support.

                                      So where did you end up? What are the requirements you are trying to fill based on actual need?

                                          @RojoLoco yes i was busy researching and just sorting out the plan..

                                          How about this..

                                          Requirements
                                          70 Computers usage (Outlook, Sharepoint, Legal web app, MS Office and internet browsing)
                                          2 Network Printers
                                          VM1 - Active Directory Domain Controller, DNS and DHCP
                                          VM2 - SharePoint
                                          VM3 - Web Host
                                          VM4 - CDMS (Customer Database Management System)
                                          (Maybe 2-3 VM for other stuff, yet to be determine)

                                          Hardware:
                                          Tower Server

                                          Dell

                                          PowerEdge T440 Tower Server
                                          PowerEdge T430 Tower Server

                                          HPE

                                          On these VM's which Server OS will best suite?

                                            1. On these VM's which Server OS will best suite?

                                            I am new to this server building, so have i missed anything here?
