    Great comic about password strength

    Yeah - it blows peoples minds when I explain how "Mary had a little lamb" is as good a password as "Q2fg!x5"

    Map Network Drive password?

    Need to enable older LM & NTLM authentication. Since Vista, this has been set to NTLM2 auth only. SNAP servers generally don't support NTLM2 auths. 1) Click Start 2) Click Control Panel (not classic view) 3) Click System & Maintenance 4) Click Administrative Tools 5) Double Click Local...

    How to block facebook on corporate network

    We block it with over-ride possible if you ask nicely. If you really need the Facebook fix, get a smartphone.

    E-mail management

    Interesting - that's pretty much the same breakdown I use, except I'ce combined your last 2 categories.

    Do you friend your co-workers on Facebook?

    No Facebook-o - No Problem-o! Seriously, not too long ago I about broke down and created one, until a "friend" didn't believe that I couldn't tell him my Facebook ID because I didn't have one. Went psycho thinking I was stiffing him, yada, yada. No thanks, Don't want.

    Job titles...

    I occasionally like to err to the other extreme and use the title "Unskilled Peon."

    *URGEBNT* Remote Web Workplace wont let me log in.

    Actually, I referred RSantiago here from the Server2003 forum. However, with RWW, wouldn't one of the servers have to be SBS? When you run Server Management, does it have the Microsoft Windows Server SBS Logo at the upper right? Or does the Start menu have the SBS description?

    SBS and ISA running on the same server

    The existing SBS CALs would apply to/cover the additional server, so no need to acquire more unless he's increasing users as well. I've generally seen no problems with ISA on SBS - given an adequate server. It can have some definite advantages over just a standalone firewall given particular...

    Adding a second server to SBS Domain

    I would still suspect a difference in anti-virus scanning environments - likely for whatever reason the Sage DB directories are getting scanned on access under native Windows and aren't under Samba.

    Adding a second server to SBS Domain

    I generally use a hardware FW in combination with ISA for the reasons Mark just stated. Having, say, a Sonicwall do the port filtering right off the bat makes a lot of sense. It also creates a nice physical DMZ for guests to use that need an internet drop while keeping them physically out of...

    Vista: Not Ready For Prime Time?

    I would surmise this, in combination with Vista, is likely the issue. You're in a perfect storm of tech upheaval, and yeah, you could say in that respect its not ready for prime time. But, as Stu says, someone (Microsoft) has to go first and prime the pump. My experience (x32 Vista Business)...

    how to set up consultant business

    I would just bite the bullet and consult a regular tax CPA. When considering deducting home based business expenses, particularly space for a home office, there will be implications when you sell that house. There will probably be a local Small Business Administration (SBA) office in your...

    BE is trying to backup non-exist mailboxes

    Both an IS level store and a mail box (brick) level backup have their uses. The IS level store is primarily for disaster recovery purposes, as it is essentially a backup of the mail database, as a whole. It gets restored as a whole as well. The brick level backup allows you to restore...

    Something other than Symantec

    Although its something I haven't used, or know that it is in widespread implementation, there's also Microsoft's Data Protection Manager. Its on my plate for further study, but appears to be targeted at mid-to-large size setups, even distributed and clustering.

    WAN Access - x400 vs. IMAP4 vs. OWA

    I would second consideration of an upgrade to Exch 2003 and use regular Outlook RPC over HTTPS.

    Setting up a BDC in an SBS domain

    Using standard Windows server as an additional DC in SBS works OK. Note that due to the limitations of SBS, it can't really ever seize the FSMO roles, so it really doesn't do much more than provide a backup copy of AD and Group Policy objects. Your second proposed solution (beyond being a...

    Exchange and SBS 2003

    From Outlook, File/Import and Export/Import from another program or file/Personal Folder File (.pst)

    Exchange and SBS 2003

    I would also encourage a full implementation of Exchange, otherwise you just bought a Lexus to make trips to the lumber yard. Fully implement SBS/Exchange; coming from a peer to peer setup, they will think you're an IT god. The message store is designed to be robust and operate in a shared...

    Starting college soon... Should I go with a BS in CS or IS

    Generally, the CS oriented programs will be technical in nature and delve into the guts of computer systems; programming in particular and hardware and networking to a lesser extent. IS oriented tends to be more business-case oriented; how do you apply technology to a business process, how do...
