For the last eight years i have used cisco 1750 routers with a WIC-1ENET card to create site-to-site vpns between our branches and main site. They have been rock solid. I'm perfectly happy with them. However, i know i'm falling behind the times here on my IOS skills, probably missing out on...

OK, to be truthful, I need help copying a ridiculously large amount of files! The folder in question, contains 318,970 bmp's with a total size of 1.78 GB's. I need to copy them all into another folder on a new computer the vendor supplied to replace the old computer. The bmp's are digital...

UGH!!! everything i read basically says this: 'Samba cannot exist in a mixed Samba/Windows domain controller environment (Samba cannot be a BDC of a Windows PDC or vice versa). Alternatively, Samba PDCs and BDCs can coexist.' my idea of bringing up a samba bdc and learning it on the fly is...

Hi, I have an old Windows NT 4.0 box that acts as my Primary Domain Controller. My NT 4.0 BDC recently died so I need to have a backup means of authenticating users and the like. I kinda started looking at doing this a while back but got distracted with other projects. With the BDC down I...

the current xp pro box hosts 3 sql server instances and does so without a problem. my problem here is 'unsupported' vs 'recommended'. i think it is supported, just not 'recommended' by MS. 'MSDE 2000 and SQL 2005 Express can be installed on a non-server operating system, however it is...

Hi All, I'm in the process of upgrading GP 8 to GP 10. I've upgraded the MSDE instance to SQL Server '05 Express. The db is housed on a WinXP PRO SP2 box with a nice dual core processor and 4 Gb's of memory. It handles the db (and two other sql server instances) without breaking a sweat...

ok, thanks again for the info!

I believe the opening and closing is exactly what was causing the problem. I think I read that the value was 300 milliseconds of no activity. During a query or write operation could the inactivity factor pass and the db close, the query or write op start to do something and have to reopen the...

Yeah, everything in GP was terribly slower. However, I was rummaging through the internet trying to find a similar problem with an easy fix and came across this: In MSDE the Auto-Close property of databases in False. In SQL Server 2005 Express that property is set to True. This value when...

Oddly enough, shortly after I declared victory here in this forum, the whole thing went to heck again. I found out that I had inadvertently installed the original SQL Server 2005 Express and updated it to SP 2 over the weekend hoping that would help, to no avail. While rummaging across the...

Well, no real improvement based on user feedback. I applied the service pack, rebuilt all indexes, updated all stats and ran checklinks on everthing. Is it possible that SQL Server 2005 Express is just plain old slow compared to MSDE?

well, upgraded to sp2 yesterday while everyone was out at the annual company pool party. being the computer guy really blows sometimes... to duplicate the Maintenance Plans MSDE had, I'm using the ExpressMaint utility found on this webpage: http://www.codeplex.com/ExpressMaint I've used it...

i think i'm gonna need it. there are no maintenance plans in the Express version of sql 2005!

well, the virtualization thing seems a little over my head, though i'll check it out... in a more traditional role, what about the following: * two lightweight servers (dual cores, 2 Gb's RAM) to act as domain controllers, network storage and host my corporate intranet * one heavyweight...

Hi, I am running GP 8 SP 5 sitting on a box with a nice dual core processor, 4 Gb's of memory and WinXP Pro. I am scheduled to upgrade to GP 10 next month. As part of that upgrade process (and to escape the 2 GB MSDE limit) I recently performed a side-by-side upgrade of the existing MSDE...
