    Hardware for Exchange 2007 - 40 users

    What I can't understand is that Microsoft recommends two DCs for replication purpose, but I believe SBS does not allow for two DCs? Dell and HP both sell their basic servers with SBS and RAID 1 only and Microsoft recommends no more than 50 users. So are most businesses happy with that simple...

    Hardware for Exchange 2007 - 40 users

    Thanks for info. Dell just requoted a PowerEdge 410 with 8GB RAM with 5 3gb/s SATA drives RAID 1/RAID 5 for about $2500. For 40 users and the lower demand ( I hope), SAS drives are not necessary, but I could always upgrade later with this same box. The key interest at my non-profit is...

    Hardware for Exchange 2007 - 40 users

    Dell and HP both suggest a RAID 1(SATA) for the OS and RAID 5 (3 SAS drives). This gets expensive. For 40 users am I being foolish to consider just two drives with OS and Exchange mirrored. Or how about still using 5 drives but make them all SATA. Or how about RAID 10 with 4 drives. Would...

    thanks for your reply. It is now booting after discovering something stupid I did. It has been a long day. Anyway now I am running Windows update -all 52 of them. If one of them is IE8 I will not install (I had not installed IE8 before the crash. I will install IE7 and then since this was a...

    missing NTLDR after 2003 SP2 install

    I have a HP Proliant ML310 G3 with RAID 1. I installed Server 2003 R2 - Disk 1 only and when I ran windows update it installed SP2. After rebooting it gives a missing NTLDR error. I went to recovery mode and copied the NTLDR, ntdetect to the C drive. There was also no boot.ini so I created...

    Print VBA declared variable from Dlookup on form load on Report

    I think I figured this out. I used the VBA code to assign the variable value to a text box on the form and then used this text box in my form calculations. So I guess that although the VBA interface is opened through my Access Project they don't communicate unless you code them to.

    change time server to new DC

    Thanks for clarification on sync process, but I am still having the same problem. On my client if I type net time I get the time from the Jupiter DC. If I type SET on my client I see that the logon server is the Pluto DC. How does a client know which DC it will use to authenticate? Can you...

    Print VBA declared variable from Dlookup on form load on Report

    I put a label on the report and set the caption value as =RespiteRate1 but did not get teh value only "=RespiteRate1". I tried variations without success. I tried to declare Global RespiteRate1 As Currency but it still did not work. I tried it in several locations. Where do you declare a...

    Print VBA declared variable from Dlookup on form load on Report

    Thanks. I should have been more clear. I also want to use this in the calcuation hours * RespiteRate1. I pull hours directly from the Report query.

    Print VBA declared variable from Dlookup on form load on Report

    I have a report calculate total wages based on hours * hourly rate. The rate is kept in a table. I grab the rate using Dlookup. The same rate is used throughout all the calculations - only the hours change. So I figured it would be wise to assign the rate to a variable on form load to save...

    Show date on report

    I would create a form where you have two text boxes named start and end. Enter the dates in these. Create a command button on this form to open up the report. Setup your query that is used for the report so it pulls those dates from this form. On the report just add two text boxes with these...

    change time server to new DC

    My original DC is Windows 2000. I added a new Windows 2003 DC and transferred all FSMO roles to it. My client PCs still sync time to the old 2000 DC. If I run net time at any client it gives me time on the old DC. How do I change it so clients get time from new 2003 DC? I have about 40...

    duplicate host name

    Thanks. I had tried the above. Other computers can find it, but mine can't. I use this one to Remote Desktop into Server, we use Symantec Antivirus Corporate 10, use a Sonicwall TZ170 to get outside to WAN, and I turned off Windows Firewall on my computer. So if any of this raises a flag...

    duplicate host name

    My computer is XP pro on Windows 2003 domain. DC is named Pluto. I have one more DC named Jupiter. When I try to add an ODBC data source System DSN to an SQL server and click on the Server selection drop down arrow, it shows two instances of Pluto(location of SQL Desktop). Regardless of...

    Change DC static IP address to different subnet

    For anyone that needs to do the same as me I found a good document from Windows IT Pro that lists items to consider before making a network address change. http://www.windowsitpro.com/articles/print.cfm?articleid=46722

    Change DC static IP address to different subnet

    Due to Sonicwall VPN problems (IKE Responder: IPSec proposal does not match (Phase 2)), I need to change to a different subnet. Currently using 192.168.0.0/24. This is probably a good idea anyway because it is used too much worldwide. Anyway my Windows 2003 DC is also my DNS, DHCP, WINS...

    Instant Messenger with Exchange 2003??

    From the knowledge base on Microsoft I read that with Windows Messenger 5.1 you can IM using Exchange 2003, but other search results say not. Can you IM with Exchange 2003? If not and I get Live Messenger Server, is it okay to run it on my Exchange 2003 box? I am trying to stop the use of...

    PowerEdge SC420 hangs duing POST after BIOS update

    I had some memory issues the other day. Dell Tech chat suggested a firmware update. I download the latest A02 and installed. Appeared to go well, then on reboot the POST does find drives and then hangs after the message "BIOS installed successfully" and cursor flashes. I tried restarting...

    Exchange install - local and public have same domain name???

    Thanks for your help. Let me try to understand something. Each client will have a POP and and Exchange account setup, or just an Exchange account? If only an Exchange account, are all incoming messages stored on the Exchange server. My worry is about storage space and spam. The ISP has a...
