    Best router, PoE switch for VOIP, Bloomberg?

    Similarly, if you are looking for reliable VOIP connectivity, you REALLY should consider decent dedicated internet access such as a T1. The difference in latency, jitter and QoS between a cable or DSL connection and a good T1 is significant. Especially if you are going to be having more than 3...

    Windows 2008 Member Server

    If you are adding it to the domain as an additional domain controller, you will need to run adprep

    Windows 2008 for use as a Terminal Server - your thoughts?

    We have done this before several times, so we have a fair amount of experience. With only 4 users remotely, depending on the application access required, you could consider not having a second server at all - create a network to network VPN and have your client machines authenticate to the SBS...

    DC Upgrade from 2000 SBS to 2003 SBS help

    I followed the Microsoft documentation for the conversion from SBS200 to SBS2003 and in both instances hit massive issues that were eventually reslved by performeing a brand new install. This was before the swing migration tool was available... I cannot recommend more strongly that you avoid...

    SBS 2003 with a full 2003 server

    SBS2003 has to be the domain root. Depending on the number of users and complexity, it is sometimes easier just to wipe out the SBS2003 environmet totally and reinstall from fresh. ONLY viable if you have relatively few users -Less than 15 or so is probably managable - no special security...

    SBS Premium 2k3

    Correct inasmuch as you need to purchase separate license for the additional server and SQL server - but client access licenses are covered by SBS2003 R2 Premium. This may not mean much when you only have a few users on your SBS environment, but can mean a lot of saving in larger user base - 40...

    Build a storage server with DS-16 ?

    I have inherited a bunch of Emulex HBA's and and an EMC DS-16B2 with all the fiber connectors I could want.... With no experience whatsoever in this technology, I have the concept that I would like to build a Storage Area Network with these - or would it be Network Attached Storage??? The...

    Routing Two Networks using a single VPN Link using Cisco Routers

    Not certain what the challenge is here... It appears that you have VPN links set up to enable application access from the branch offices to the head office. To enable them to access the internet via the head office, simply add a route to the internet via the network address of your head office...

    need solution... 3 sites all using dynamic ip

    The Linksys option is probably your best bet... but you will almost certainly have to replace all of your equipment (I assume you have Symantec Gateway 100/200 at each location) as I would anticipate major headaches trying to get a VPN connecting between that and the Linksys. Use the DynDNS...

    New to VPN - looking for hardware/software suggestions

    It also appears that you might need to look quite closely at your network architecture... Do you have load balancing on the cable and DSL at the primary office, or failover? If failover, you might want to consider splitting the VPN traffic and having half (or even more) on your failover...

    Destination address unreachable only for SOME domains

    Thanks for the input - unfortunately they justb state that all their traffic is routed out through the same circuits so there is nothing they can do! Very frustrating.... Richard

    Destination address unreachable only for SOME domains

    A really confusing issue...! One of our clients in the Caribbean has a DSL conncetion, static IP address, Small Business Server 2003 environment. In general they can access the vast majority of websites and email servers, HOWEVER they cannot access some of them - the more notable ones being...

    Remote Server 2003 as DC - terminal services

    Thanks for the input - real question is related to running it on the DC. I gather from a lot of reading that the TS server should be a member server and that the licensing server MUST be a DC. At this stage we only have the remote server as a DC and now with TS semi-installed and i cannot even...

    Remote Server 2003 as DC - terminal services

    Thanks for the comments and suggestions. We have twenty four other clients out there all accessed via remote administration. I am quite happy to buy and install licenses if I was comfortable that it was going to work. The only relevant Microsoft document I could find related to Terminal...

    Remote Server 2003 as DC - terminal services

    We have an SBS 2003 environment with a remote Server 2003 R2 system for a subsidiary office (8,000 miles away). This server 2003 box is currently running as a DC. Against the advice of Microsoft I have installed Terminal services on this server remotely (OOPS) Now when I try to reconnect, it...

    Symantec BE System Recovery

    Thanks Steve, I will try loading the Maxtor SCSI driver - no RAID on the restore server. I can, however, see the various partitions on the hard drive that I am trying to restore to, so I am not convinced necessarily that this is the issue... Will let you know of the outcome. Thanks Richard

    Symantec BE System Recovery

    Has anyone actually managed to restore a system to a bare metal server successfully with this product. I have a client with a Dell server who would like to restore to a separate Dell server. Recovery Points are performed to a USB drive without any problems, but when the restore server is booted...

    Desperate Canon User

    Thanks for the response... Yes to all of the above. I have connected it directly to the switch into which rh=the server is connected. I have set up my laptop in the same subnet, connected via a crossover cable and installed the printer drivers on the laptop all with the same result. I also...

    Desperate Canon User

    Thanks for the input. I tried deleting everything, including the drivers etc. I even tried disconnecting the printer from the network, setting up a static IP address in the same subnet on my laptop and connecting to the printer via a crosssover cable and installing the drivers under XP - still...
