The only limitation on the mail database is 75 gigs. I am fairly certian that you can have more than 75 user accounts, with the limitation being 75 concurrent logons. Not postive about that though.... A+, N+, MCSA:Messaging, MCSE

Is this server multihomed, dual nic's, or multi IP's on a single interface? A+, N+, MCSA:Messaging, MCSE

Run perfmon for all relevant counters and see what is out of whack. A+, N+, MCSA:Messaging, MCSE

You are correct about this being a default setting. Try to change all the secure channel and signing/encryption settings to the less restrictive (when possible) and (if agrees) and see if it clears up your problems. I suspect it will. If it doesn't, change them back. I ran into the same exact...

Yup. Thats the problem. Set all of these types of options to the "(when possible)" and disable the "(required)" options and you should be all right. If you require this type of security, you need to ensure that the DC can access itself. Remember that for most AD and Policy related functions...

I would not use this solution, even if Dell claims it will work, without getting some type of eval and testing the solution under load. I am very skeptical of "replication" based solutions for DB clustering. If you must go with Dell, I would look more into a Dell/EMC solution. It is more...

Quickly, there is a HUGE difference between a GPO and a GROUP or a USER. You have used these terms interchangeably, and they aren't really interchangeable. You would create your group, delegate responsibilities, add users and finally, group them in an OU with an apporpriate GPO linked to it...

Use the Verbose Security Status Messages setting. Very helpful in troubleshooting slow startup, shutdown, logon, or logoff behaviour. You will be able to see where you are getting stuck. I have only used this on XP, so procede with caution. You know, the normal regestry editing disclaimers...

Exchange 2k: http://www.petri.co.il/configure_instant_messaging_in_e2k.htm Sadly, not supported in Ex 2003. A+, N+, MCSA:Messaging, MCSE

No, not that I know of. I may be wrong, and others will chime in and say so if thats the case, but I'm almost certian you need the shared storage. You can use a distributed quorum for for web hosting in which there is no shared storage (no write scenario), but not for DB's. Any write-enabled...

This can happen if you modified the "secure channel signing" and related policied in the domain controllers or domain policies. You can actually lock the domain contoller out from being able to read the policy settings. Try setting all of these to the default setting. I am certian that this...

If you run an exchange server, consider using the builtin instant messaging service. A+, N+, MCSA:Messaging, MCSE

Hi, I'm not an expert on Exchange clustering, but I am very familiar with web NLB and db FO clustering. As far as I can tell, you do need an external storage device. Clustering works by having what is called a "quorum" resource which contains, essentially, a small db that the cluster nodes...

Never done it, but I would imagine that us could use a WMI script for something like this. A+, N+, MCSA:Messaging, MCSE

Make sure you have the drivers for each remote printer installed on the terminal server. A+, N+, MCSA:Messaging, MCSE
