    Transaction Log growth and backing up Exchange 2003

    Okay, I guess I just need to hook up the old tape drive and backup the system using Windows Server 2003's backup system and my old logs will then disappear. I do not want to make this system unstable as it works all day, every day without any problems, so I do not need to fix it.

    Transaction Log growth and backing up Exchange 2003

    I have not been using Veritas in the past, but Yosemite Tapeware and it was backing up the information store, and lo and behold, once I paid attention, I see that the old logs still are all there. But, since I am now using a continuous data protection system from Sonicwall that I thought would...

    Transaction Log growth and backing up Exchange 2003

    Thanks, I'll try it. Seems a shame to have gone to online backups just to get rid of those damned tape drives and then have to add it back in again.

    Transaction Log growth and backing up Exchange 2003

    Both my former backup solution (yosemite) and the new online one (Sonicwall) are Exchange-aware. When I look at System Manager/myserver/Mailbox Store/Database it shows a full backup of yesterday and an incremental taking place during the day. So Exchange seems to know it is being backed up...

    Transaction Log growth and backing up Exchange 2003

    I erroneously thought that if I had backups of my Exchange done, fully, every day, that the transaction logs would not start anew practically each day. I am NOT using any built-in Windows Server 2003 backup system, but was using a Yosemite Tapeware system and now am backing up online to servers...

    SMTP Error message...

    I recently had a similar issue with just certain emails being bounced back and it had a variety of messages, but it always was an SMTP error and then a DNS error. Our largest local ISP (comcast) had just instituted reverse DNS lookup apparently without telling a soul. So since it couldn't do a...

    Adding new server, promoting to PDC & demoting old server

    I'm adding a new server to a system that has a PDC and a second box for Exchange. I know this is an involved process. I'll have to promote and demote and move all FSMOs to the new server. I want to keep the old server as a BDC and for backup DNS, etc.Are there any step by steps out there for...

    Disappearing programs

    I don't know if this is the correct forum, hope it is. Just bought new Dell system, XPPro, SP2, brand new version of Office for Small Business 2003. Everything installed fine, joined the domain, mapped some drives. Set up Outlook mailbox for Exchange and an additional time and billing...

    Remote Desktop & Local Printers

    I have had this problem for a long time and don't want to install PCAnywhere. Our users use a VPN and then Remote Desktop to work from home. I think I've read that USB is not supported in local printing, which is fabulous since most everybody uses USB ports. It is not a great solution, but a...

    printing locally while logged on via RDP

    And I think my home printer, as well as that of other company users might well be DOT4 printers. Again, thanks for the help, and I'll read the directions, attempt to follow them, and see if it'll work. I always suggest they just email the document to themselves and then print it at home as it...

    I've printed it and I'll try it and see. Thanks.

    printing locally while logged on via RDP

    If I'm logged on via a VPN and then Remote Desktop to my office, is there I way I can print at my home printer? I see in the Remote Desktop/Options/Local Resources that you can check Printer. But when you go to print that office document, that home printer never shows up as an option. And it...

    Local Admin account on XP Pro SP2

    I added "domain users" to the PC's Local Admin Group and it works like a charm. Thanks for all your help. We have so few users (about 13) and they all do the same kind of work, so groups don't really work and are an unnecessary administrative task in our small office. Everybody uses the same...

    Local Admin account on XP Pro SP2

    Thanks for both of these tips -- I really do want these users to have admin rights on their own PC, so I think I'll try adding Domain Users to the PC's Local Admin Group and see if that works. This has been vexing me for some time. Thanks again for your fast responses.

    Local Admin account on XP Pro SP2

    I have users set as administrators on their own workstations all running XPPro SP2. They are regular users on our domain. When they log on, they always always log on to the domain, not onto their local machine, duh, since that's the point of a network. So since they are not administrators of...

    dual monitor setting not available in control panel

    Well after thinking about this, I think I know what's the problem. Five out of the six machines that have dual monitors are laptops. So I'm plugging the extra monitors into the blue serial port that is obviously provided for just such a thing. The 6th one is a brand new Dell computer that...

    dual monitor setting not available in control panel

    Have XP Pro, SP2 on all machines. About half of them are running dual monitors. Works great, just plug the second one in via a USB port and go to Control Panel/ Display/ Settings and set up which one you want to be No. 1 and 2. But have a new monitor to plug into a system and it won't work...

    user is administrator, but cannot update windows, etc.

    Have XP Pro, SP2 running on Windows 2003 domain. Have user set as administrator of their own computer and as a regular user on domain. But every time try to do anything as administrator of their computer, like update Windows, or Office, or just about anything, it says they need administrative...
