I need a server to run (at most) 15 Terminal Services sessions at once, but will probably be closer to 10 sessions. Server will also run Exchange 2003. Sessions will be used for internet and outlook exchange email. Looking to give sessions 512MB RAM. Server will also act as a file server storing document images.
