Hi everyone, I've got 60 users sharing a satellite internet connection. There are a few bandwidth hogs that are ruining it for everyone. I've got an ASA5510 that I was hoping to configure to limit users to a predetermined amount of data per day. I've been trying different search terms but I...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to school myself on how to PROPERLY add a printer to an SBS 2008 domain. We already have 5 printers but I only see two printers deployed in the Print Management area. Can someone please explain why someone would or wouldn't want to deploy a printer? I thought I could...

That was an incredible reply. Thanks for all the things to check.

Hi there, I'm left to manage Exchange 2010. I had a user forward me a spam email so I can add it to the block list. I don't know how to do that so I started searching/reading. It's getting pretty involved now. I'm surprised how long it's taking me to find answers so I though I would ask some...

Looking back at your reply I can see what you mean't now. I didn't understand it before.. sorry. I think it was because I was trying to open the .job files and thought i could edit THAT with notepad. I feel pretty silly now that I understand. I never was able to open a bkf file though. Thanks...

Okay! I've learned some stuff that I should share. If you look in C:\WINDOWS\Tasks you'll see all the jobs that are scheduled. You'll see the backup jobs in there, too. Right click a backup and look in the "run" area. That's the script that has your .bks file name buried in it. The bks file...

Thanks! I had another look around and in the ntbackup's "recent files" it shows these 4 files. There are another 10 scheduled backup jobs but I can't figure out how to display them. I have the list of scheduled jobs. I have the bkf's on the backup drive. I tried opening them in ntbackup but...

Hi everyone, I had a guy come in and implement an ntbackup solution. It looks like this on my backup drive. I'd like to figure out what folders are included in each of these jobs but the more I read the more complicated it seems. My users all have a backed up storage share on a volume on my...

Thanks for the replies guys. Well I'm still having the same problem. There seems to be 100s of people with the same issues. I've read some pretty extreme ideas to fix it. Goom - I'm afraid! I don't want to delete the old drive because that's my only backup... and if it spits that drive out I'm...

I have a 500gb drive in one usb port performing my backups... but it's too small. I'd like to plug a second drive into a second USB port and once I know it's working I would unplug the 500gb and keep it for a spare and just leave the 1.5TB I have 4 USB ports. 1 is being used by the 500gb backup...

Thanks for the quick reply, G! Well I had a look around for a status code but couldn't find anything. In Device Manager it shows up in the list of USB devices as "Unknown Device" I already have another ext USB drive (my current backup) plugged in and working. I can see that in Device Manager...

Hi everyone, I've got two identical spec SBS2003 Dell Poweredge 2950's. One is my domain controller and exchange server the other is just a CCTV server. When I plug a WD Elements 1.5tb external drive into the CCTV server it pops up and installs no prob. When I plug that same drive into my...

Thanks! Now I know a few places not to look. I did go back in there for another poke around. I ended up in Small Business Server Folder Redirection. Computer Configuration (enabled) no settings defined. User Configuration (enabled) no settings defined. I should have...

Hi everyone, I have a boat with 25 users sharing a sateliite internet connection. I'd like to monitor my users so when someone is being bad (youtube, torrent, skype video) I can see the data stats on their MAC or IP address. Got any ideas? All users are connected wirelessly in one vlan via...
