Hi gang, I've seen many a times that binary and source code is offered for download. I wouldn't know what to do with either. In an attempt to improve my skill set... what's the difference between the two and what are their purposes?

Excellent suggestions. Thank you all.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I occasionally VPN into my sbs 2003 server. Unfortunately we have a dynamic public IP and it will change on an unregular basis. Is there some tool or script etc that will provide me with the Public ip associated with our LAN so that I can login remotely? That is can I have the public IP...

Why would you want this service?" Most of the small businessess I work with already have POP accounts in place, and when/if they move over to Server 2003, and specifically exchange, you can consolidate both exchange and POP into the same inbox -removing the POP server from the client I believe...

Hi, We've recently began using Exchange 2003 as a part of windows server 2003, small business server. Not having much experience, I could use a hand. Now that all users are connected via exchange how can I essentially take everyones address book and consolidate them into a global address list...

I recently downloaded a copy of VM Ware Server and was unimpressed. I realize it was beta however I would not purchase this product in the future unless there were major improvements. Is there a more mature or alternative version available?

Can you tell me more about exchange messaging?

It sounds like you're having problems joining the domain from a client/user system. Just to double check, you're using the servers IP as the clients DNS? Also you're sure you're trying //servername/connectcomputer and not //serverIP/connectcomputer using the IP has always failed in my...

Thank you both for the quick response. One more thing to add to my bag-o-tricks.

Hi, We are considering a server consolidation. The idea of consolidating to a bladeserver was brought up, however we use both Red Hat Linux and Windows 2003. Is it possible to partition the cpus and disks in order to run two or three or four different operating environments? Thanks.

Hi, Is there a tool or program etc that would help me? I'd like to find something that would allow me to send a notification/message to any user that's connected to the server. These notifications could range from a simple shutdown message or an alert to any maintenance that's on going. I...

Hello, I'm being asked to record the IP address of our clients. We're not using DHCP, and I don't really like the idea of having to go to each client system and look up the information. I imagine there is a way to find out the IP information associated with each client on the network/domain, via...

We have 2 MAC users who would like to access shares on our SBS 2003 standard server. How would I do this? I have a few notes here that mention issues with a .local domain and turning on/configuring SMB shares. Thanks.

I was told the overall network performance was slow. I guess I was interested to know if having 2 12 port switches connected via a Cat 5 cable could be causing a problem and if there was potentially a more efficient was to provide the downstairs users with a network connection. Wouldn't it make...
