Divide by function, not by OS. There is no problem throwing all the different client OSs into one server together. But with one big happy family server there are inevitable conflicts of schedules, policies, tuning settings, etc. I am currently dividing into two servers, one for single-user workstations (i.e. desktop PCs and personal Unix workstations) and the other for larger servers. Each server will have some Windows, AIX, Solaris, Linux... clients in it, but within each server those client nodes will be for similar PURPOSES, and so can be managed similarly. I'm even going to run the two ITSM servers together on one computer. This split will have the side benefit of cutting my database into chunks of a more manageable size. (Lots of discussion on that in other threads right now.)
