    Online Backups

    Hello. I wrote the following and dumped it on a page somewhere. Saw your question and thought it might help you out. I don't know what you want to online backup TO, but the rsync idea would probably work for you as well (although in the opposite direction than I describe below). The 30GB would...

    Exchange server 2003 and outlook client - unable to retrieve some info

    For the guy with the big gun - dude, just shoot your computer :D no, seriously; check the application logs on your server (right-click on my computer -> manage -> application logs and alerts) to get a better clue about what is going on. To everyone else, thx for the suggestions - will do next...

    Exchange server 2003 and outlook client - unable to retrieve some info

    Hello. As my handle suggests, I am more at home in a BASH shell than in Win 2k3 Server, but I have gotten along quite fine up to now... Scenario: small business with single 2003 SBS server running both AD and Exchange. 20 users on the system full time, with Windows XP, OS X Tiger and Linux...

    Windows or UNIX

    @ Opieo One great and succint (i.e.: you already know what a computer is..) guide I found to basic Linux (and a lot applies to Unix as well) is http://www.linuxtraining.co.uk/download/new_linux_course_modules.pdf Happy Hunting.

    Restoring > 4GB Outlook PST

    So? We're on tenterhooks here, Isaac. We are missing the climax of that 4GB .pst story. Will the hero prevail? :)

    Outlook default program for hyperlinks

    I must've suffered a major neural shutdown today when a user showed me that when clicking on a hyperlink in an outlook e-mail, a message box came up saying no program was associated with this and would she please select a program. So, without thinking twice, I selected c:\windows\explorer.exe...

    Restoring > 4GB Outlook PST

    How about scanpst.exe? Should find out what's wrong with it and fix the thing. Man, what do you do with a 4GB PST file... I've heard there's no worse way of archiving e-mails but HOW ELSE? Current mailbox on exchange server? (ha ha ha ha ha - yeah RIGHT - 4 hour send/receive sync time...)

    command button

    Yeah. I concur. When I made an inventory database in access, that stored photos of all the object it was inventorying, I found it very unwise to have OLE objects or image files stuck in a field of the database. When you pass the 50 or 100-record mark, you're gonna regret it. Rather, if you feel...

    XP pro as VPN server

    I would reccommend a relatively ancient piece of machinery with two network cards between the router and your internal network, with IPCop installed on it (how-to at http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_linux_firewall_ipcop). This by the way will INCREASE your network security right off the bat...

    Can I recover the file?

    What I would do, as a first action, is boot up with a Linux LiveCD, like Ubuntu or knoppix. (try http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/) There is actually a good chance that the system will detect your drives and partitions and be able to mount them as-is (probably read-only). You can then get the...

    Windows or UNIX

    My answer offhand would be UNIX. Or, more properly POSIX-compliant systems, like Unix Linux CentOS z/OS etc., in the server room. Why: A. Scalability (Exchange server? Scalable? Failover? Fast? Really?) B. Diversified code base and (mostly) open source = more streamlined code and 100x the...

    The Future Computer

    IMHO, the future of computer input lies in optimization of what's already there: The keyboard exists and is ubiquitous - talk about market share. This isn't like windows vs. Linux - everything has a keyboard and they are all basically the same (let's leave out the subject of keymaps, OK?)...

    What do you use for managing passwords for your enterprise?

    For Linux people, how about a text edited with vim, encrypted with GnuPG? I could write something on the matter, but it is most eloquently expressed here: http://www.cipherdyne.org/blog/2008/02/interfacing-vim-with-gnupg-encrypted-files.html And I admit that, encrypted on my phone, I have a...
