NOT a Windows profile.<BR /><BR />Even if you were not accessing storage on your WSS for use with Windows, I would not do this. It is a total waste of a server and is better handled with a different server model.<BR /><BR /><BR />Steven Mon, 20 Oct 2008 21:58:30 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/storeeasy-storage/vcb-and-wss/m-p/1017520#M2001 Steven Clementi 2008-10-20T21:58:30Z
