You setup an expiration policy on NNTP to expire artiles older then 7 days and a size of 500MB. When do artiles expire?
When any articles in a group are older then 7 days they expire and when the size of the group exceeds 500MB the oldest articles expire
- understand what the policies can apply to (my question explicitly stated that the expire policy applied to the entire server - not a particular newsgroup) and that both criteria apply: If the file exceeds the particular size, the oldest messages are deleted (regardless of age). As they exceed the maximum age, the are deleted regardless of file size. Remember that expiration policies are set for a newsgroup not for individual articles.

?You have an NNTP news server set up on a RAID 5 array. You want to improve performance.
a) Break NNTP up into many virtual folders
b) Break NNTP up into many servers/many arrays
would say a
The only place I could find any information on virtual directories in NNTP was in the MS IIS Training Kit(Chapter 8, page 134). In half a page it states that breaking the NNTP directory into multiple virtual directories will improve performance. However, it also states, "There is no advantage to creating virtual directories on the same physical disk at the home directory". Therefore, if you are going to create more virtual directories they should be created on separate physical disks.
Now RAID 5 (disk striping with parity) uses at least three physical disks, which act as one logical disk. My belief (read not sure about this) is that since everything gets striped across those 3+ disks at once then it probably acts the same as one physical disk for NNTP performance purposes.
The question specifies a single directory and a single array. To me this does not imply anything about other arrays being available or not, just that NNTP is presently on a single array. So I have no problem saying multiple arrays are possible. Here is the sticky part though. Performance should increase by doing answer A if the RAID 5 is not treated as one physical disk since it is presently in only one directory, but performance would increase even more by doing answer B regardless of the outcome of the RAID 5 status.

You have a company web called "Company" (or whatever) with it's home directory as c:\inetpub\company.
You put some image files in c:\inetpub\company\images. User complain that they can only access the images in the home directory. You look at the link and find you cannot access http://company/images/image1.gif
Look at the example. What should you do?
The example is a MMC screen shot, it shows the Virtual Directory "Images" as c:\inetpub\wwwroot\images
This had me confused for ages until I realised that the virtual directory IS NOT the same one that the images were put into: The Virtual Directory is c:\inetpub\wwwroot\images but the directory you put the files in is actually c:\inetpub\company\images. So the answer is to remove the virtual directory.
