Hi there,
my installation of ws12e comes with the following server roles installed by default
- AD CS
- AD DS
- DNS
- File and sotrage services
- IIS
- NAP
- Remote desktop services
To decide with roles are crucial for the use of my server, here's what I want to do with it:
- backup of client pcs
- network shares
- provide group policy for client pcs and users
- remote web access
- log onto the server via a client's remote desktop application
- (at some point, but not now: WSUS - controlling windows update for my client pcs)
I am not really sure of what the individual roles really do so I wanted to ask for your input; what can I safely delete/disable - given my requirements above? The reason I want to do this is speeding up the boot process. Since I own a N40L, suspend-to-RAM is not available. Because of this I installed the server OS on a 60GB SSD and make the server go to suspend-to-disk whenever possible. Sill, it takes a lot of time to operational after a wake event...
Thanks for your input!
