    Groupwise Migration to Ex 2003

    Need some direction here. Need to migrate messages, calendar, contacts, etc from Groupwise version 6 into MS Exchange 2003 running on SBS 2003. What are my options? Can I migrate from the client or do I have to use an expensive utility or the one that comes with EX 2003 which, from what I've...

    Process to Migrate to a new domain

    Mark, Thanks a bunch...This will save me a lot of time and my client a lot of $$. They're a brand new client and I can't say as to whether or not the local admins are all the same. My guess would be no, since they have never had a decent consultant. Could you give me the script to change all...

    Process to Migrate to a new domain

    After a lot of debate, I have decided to change my client's domain from XYZ.net to XYZ.local. My thoughts are that this will reduce DNS lookup issues and facilitate an easy to install Exchnage architecture. Could you please comment on my proposed methodology: Bkgnd: There are 3 Win2K servers...

    W2K Domain Is a Public Domain: Should I change it?

    Appreciate the feedback. I have verified all of your recommendations (before the post). The Windows DNS has forwarders setup that point to their ISPs resolvers. The clients point first to the Windows server and then to the ISP resolvers. One error I continue to see is that the clients get...

    W2K Domain Is a Public Domain: Should I change it?

    Here's my situation: I have a client that own two domains: 1) XYZ.com & 2) XYZ.net. Their windows 2000 domain is named XYZ.net. They are having a lot of problems with DNS name resolution to various websites, and their pop3 mail server (external). There are about 40 hosts on the network and...

    Need Advice on Number of Staff to Hire

    Thanks for the reply. Allow me to elaborate: I anticipate usign Terminal Services to manage most server-related configuration issues (All Microsoft) and the network will be firewalled (Netscreen) and Cisco-based (switches/routers). WRT to policy, however, I haven't given it much thought. I...

    Need Advice on Number of Staff to Hire

    I know this is off-topic, however, I thought it to be the best place to find the answer to my question. I'm in the planning phases of staffing-up for a small network support contract. The requirements are to extend the corporate netowrk to support a multi-site software engineering lab and...

    Need VPN suggestions please.

    Dellboy, Have you looked into deploying Windows RAS? It doesn't get any easier for a Client-LAN setup. Best, Michael Law - MCSE, CCNA, SCSA, MCIW Qualatech Computer Consulting, LLC http://www.qualatech.com

    Using Terminal Services over VPN Advise please!!!

    Stressed, The first question you should ask is what are the uptime requirements and can your facility act as a co-lo and meet those requirements. If so, than you should not be as stressted. Also, why use a VPN? TS is encrypted and would be more responsive without the VPN as encryption...

    Routes

    I had a similar issue which was resolved by using Windows Connection Manger to customize the client routing tables(installed via Add/Remove Programs | Windows Components |). To troubleshoot, I would suggest looking at the routing table on the client before and after the VPN connection. Do...

    Need VPN suggestions please.

    Surprising to hear of problems w/ Netscreen. I have a client that has a spoke-hub VPN config w/ 4 sites and they have never had a problem. All sites have a T1 and are running the latest ScreenOS. If you're set on an alternative (and the client has the $$) you should look into Cisco - a little...

    Who's accessinge Outlook Web Access?

    I use the Performance logging utility that comes w/ Windows. Look through the Web Service object and select the site you want to monitor. You can track anonymous users/sec, etc. PS - This assumes that OWA is running under it's own site w/in IIS. GL, Michael Law - MCSE, CCNA, SCSA, MCIW...

    Send mail to mailboxes for testing

    Dan, Search for a spam script, since that is the gist of what you are trying to do. If you have linux, you could use a perl/php script to run a sendmail loop for different mailboxes. Good luck, Michael Law - MCSE, CCNA, SCSA, MCIW Qualatech Computer Consulting, LLC http://www.qualatech.com

    Need Help Moving OWA

    cyg - Thanks for the advice. I fixed the problem but it was a little more involved than I led you to believe...actually than I defined in my first post. I should have mentioned that this was on an SBS2K server. I had to go into Exchange/Server/Protocol/HTTP and create a new virtual directory...

    Need Help Moving OWA

    OWA works fine on port 80 but I need to move it to a new site in IIS running on TCP/8081. What settings do I need change to accomplish this? Can it be done by hand or should I reinstall OWA ?
