thats what i thought fizban... thanks anyway

Hi all i have a 2003 sbs server setup with a software mirror and i was wondering does anyone know if its possible to alert me via the performance console if one of the disks fails? thank you

check windows updates, its happened to me before, i think the default is to install updates at 3 am

have you thought about creating one with sharepoint services? there are helpdesk skins\themes (can remember the exact terminology) for sharepoint and i believe it can do all you want

on one of the machines that restarts you should check its registry (i cannot remember where exactly) for the intranet update location just to make sure its pointing to your wsus server (and subsequently having GP applied correctly), if it is check the event logs on the machine and see what if you can get from there. good luck

if you want to add printers on login for these users google "con2prt" and run it from command line with /? it works perfect for connecting printers

thanks Cluberti il test this on a virtual pc and even try to restore some mailboxes, or the public folders or something thanks for the help on this one

yeah the media doesnt matter, borrow it from a friend just so long as you have a legit key you will be fine

can anyone answer this question for me please to put my mind at rest... im doing this on a virtual pc, and thinking about when i come to do the real thing and its critical i have a good backup before i do the real move. if i backup the whole c:\program files\exchsrvr directory will this be enough to restore from should it all go wrong? thanks

hey Cluberti, they are on the same domain, and iv just discovered the mailbox move wizard..this looks a lot easier than i thought, lol ill post back if i have any problems. thanks for the reply

hi all, does anyone here have experience with migration of exchange 2003 over to another server also running exchange 2003? can anyone tell me if they would use exmerge or just export all mailboxes to .pst files? many thanks

as ctwizzy says, stick a router in the middle and put the 2 networks on different subnets, or if you want both departments to share a single server, then make it a multihomed server by installing multiple NIC's and do the same thing with the subnetting (different ip range on each NIC)

play a song in winamp and burn a cd with nero.....wait you cant it crashes on 2k

use the netsh command. type netsh /? at command prompt and you will see how to do it, its v easy

yeah your right fizban, and thanks ever so much johngruhn! i could automate this with a batch to run every few weeks

thanks fizban, i think there should at least be an option for you to enable if you wish for a computer account to be deleted after a set period of time, that would be good. oh well, roll on longhorn server

people say that with 56k the shorter the line you have from the wall to modem the faster your speed so would assume the same thing happens with usb. i guess its like with CAT cables, i think the term is signal attenuation but dont quote me on that oh and i have no idea what the cut off length is, but i would be interested to know....

its just a thought that i had.. you know like in dns you can scavenge for stale records? i wondered if there was a similar sort of thing in AD, thanks for the reply tho

Hi all, i have a question, do computer accounts in active directory get deleted automatically after a set period of time if that computer has been removed from the network? thanks

ahh...the days of the amiga when all you needed was 2mb of ram 4mb was just crazy talk! if only it was still that simple lol what if you run an app like cpu-z (www.cpuid.org) does that give you a true amount? or what if yo ulook in task manager under total physical memory?

thanks a lot for the link to the exe, you have given me an idea i could install this silently via login script and allow people to go about their business as usual and then ask how many have been told they have illegal windows if any? or just wait to see how many complain lol that could work i suppose

hey how do you know what im really thinking?!! i need this for a client that we are looking at upgrading, but without knowing how legal they are we cannot take them on and takes risks if they have pirate windows or office. so stfu

GFI mail essentials as mentioned is really awesome once its learned its stuff you will forget spam even exists! lol

the reason i ask is so that if my company gets a new client and wants to see how many legal keys they have then we can use one of the methods described thanks for the help

Hi all, just wondering does anyone know of a way (remotely if possible) of testing the legality of an installed windows or office key? is there someway to use the same sort of mechanism that WGA uses to determine if a key is legal or not? thanks
