Thanks Paul... appreciate your feedback...

Hi, I have a client running an old SBS2000 network and have finally convinced him to upgrade (both hardware & software) to SBS 2008. We are currently using the Exchange facility within SBS 2000 and obviously want to continue using Exchange on the new SBS 2008 server. I understand there is no...

Thanks Dave... more useful info I wasn't aware of! Appreciate your response as well... Kind regards. Jonathan

Thanks Paul, that's great, I wasn't aware of that... Kind regards. Jonathan

Hi, I have a client who is currently running SBS2000 on a single server and has finally realised that he needs to upgrade both his hardware & software. Now I understand that there isn't a direct upgrade path from SBS 2000 to SBS 2008 so logic says it would be better to install a completely new...

Many thanks Dave, you've confirmed what I sort of guessed might be the issue! Cheers. MannsTech

Hi All, Does anyone know if there is a direct software upgrade path from SBS2000 to SBS2008? I have a client who has one server & 15 client machines and he has finally agreed to upgrade his software. However, I would prefer to do a software upgrade rather than a completely new installation...

Hi, Does anyone know if Outlook Mobile Access can be configured to work with Windows Server 2000? I have found lots of info relating to Win 2003 & 2008 but not 2000. Any information gratefully received! Kind regards. MannsTech

Many thanks, TechyMcSe2k, that's great... Rgds., Mannstech

Hi, At the moment, all my users' Automatic Windows Updates option (through Control Panel) are greyed out and I want to change this so that they can choose when to run a Windows Update. I can see that there is a central Global Policy section within SBS 2003 but from the existing rules, I can't...

Fair comment, and my apologies if I've mislead anyone with my request. In my defence, I always try to solve a problem myself before asking for help. I quite appreciate that we all have our own work to do but it seems silly to "re-invent the wheel" if the solution already exists. Anyway, you've...

Thanks for those links but I'm not sure what you're trying to say... For your information, I spent a good couple of hours Googling the problem to see if I could solve it myself. I couldn't. Hence I thought I'd ask my helpful colleagues at Tek-Tips. My apologies if you feel I haven't tried hard...

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help? I have a simple Access 2007 database of employees that I need to link to individual employee information saved as Word documents. Each employee has a unique record in the database and simply needs a link through to their unique Word document. I understand that...

Hi, I have been backing up data with, what I thought, was no problem but now I have tried to restore the data I get an error messgae saying that the data is unusable. I have been using the standard NTBACKUP utility within Server 2000 but I have now noticed that although the data looks as if it...

Many thanks zbnet however a new server needs to be installed to run their network so I'll certainly be installing another copy of SBS. Can you advise what other solution to the email problem might be deployed in this scenario? Many thanks for your help. Mannstech
