I get a lot of FTP attacks - mostly from Asia and a few from Europe. If it is an US IP, and it filled my log file, I report it to the ISP's abuse address. I have hear back so I assume I am just wasting my time. Don Phillips http://worthingtonengineering.com

Perhaps updates were partially installed. This cause me some problems on Wednesday. I have a Dell laptop that worked fine in the airport Tuesday afternoon. The Micro$oft updates were downloaded but I did not install them. I shut down the computer, boarded the plane, and rebooted in Atlanta...

Yes, and/or you can also install IIS on the second machine. Don Phillips http://worthingtonengineering.com

I think you can log on remotely and change it in Control Panel -> System Don Phillips http://worthingtonengineering.com

I think you have to ensure the backup is not shutting down after a certain period. I thought, by default, it was 72 hours. Don Phillips http://worthingtonengineering.com

I do not know a whole lot about server hardware but I think if you are using a RAID controller, the array may be dependent on the specific controller. I had a Compaq 5300 card with a failed battery and would not let me reboot. I popped a spare 3200 in and it did not recognize the array. I...

I would rather save the $6.95 a month and use port forwarding. Don Phillips http://worthingtonengineering.com

Well, I gave up on that crippled install, copied the boot to an array and reinstalled the OS, clean, on a formated boot. Humming now. Don Phillips http://worthingtonengineering.com

Thanks, TechSoEasy, I came to the same conclusion. Don Phillips http://worthingtonengineering.com

I tried reinstalling over an existing install and it thinks I am upgrading to OEM and does not allow me to fully install the server - so far, IIS is partially crippled and Sharepoint is not installed. Once I copy my files, I intend to do a fresh install. Don Phillips...

If you are buying used, cheap drive, get a couple of spares to swap out. Don Phillips http://worthingtonengineering.com

Here is an update - could not get past that point in the install so I went the more destructive route of re-installing over the original installation. It cleared out the old settings but, thankfully, my IIS files were spared. Will be moving that to the other drive to avoid a similar problem in...
