I am about to take over as System Administrator at a government contractor and I have been looking at the machines that run our network. I am concerned as this will be my first time in this position. The most powerful machine I have as a server isa Pentium 2 as my PDC. The other servers vary from Pentium 133-200 running NT 4. I only have about 50 users on my site. My concern is that I am not used to such a small site. I came from an environment with 800 users.

Finally the question. Do I really need to worry about upgrading the machines that I am using or should I just maintain the ones I have? I have a couple users that do heavy work, but most just use Office and do email.

What you need to so is become more familiar with the Performance Monitor utility, then create a baseline log to compare utilization of your servers over time. If there are no performance or bandwith problems right now, I would wait, and just monitorthe logs.
