What is the max addressible storage limit for WSS?
I have been searching everywhere on the MS site and can not find the max
addressible storage limit for Windows Server 2003 or Windows Storage Server
2003. I need to know the difference between the two if there is one and what
WSS can handle.
Any help would be appreciated!
