    SAV 9.0 Monitoring 7.6 clients and servers

    I installed SAV 9.0 on to a new "server" (Win XP Pro workstation). I installed the SSC, Quarantine console & server and Symantec Av Server. I can't see two of my 5 existing servers. I have a server in each office that acts as a primary for that office's clients. One of the one's I can't see or...

    DeVry

    I would advise serious caution. When I worked for a provincial government involved in student funding, we had DeVry under investigation for several reasons. Not to mention that at one point there was a class action suit by a couple of hunder DeVry grads who found out that, after spending upwards...

    Recently laid off with no degree...

    When I moved to Toronto in 1998, I went through an agency. I found that most larger organizations prefer to outsource this kind of function especially for IT as the in-house HR people don't have the experience or aptitude to evaluate an IT based resume. I picked a company that specialized in...

    Backstabbed in the Workplace

    Ouch... been there done that so I understand your feelings this soon after. I was identified as a threat due to me pointing out the uselessness of a virus prevention policy at an office I had worked in for 6 years! I was plenty PO'ed and did make sure that everyone I trusted knew what happened...

    Where do I go from here?

    In my humble opinion, you should concentrate on the cert that augments your experience. I have not checked out the Dot.Net certs but for the most part MCSE stands for Means Completed Some Exam to me. I think your experience speaks volumes and you already seem to have interest form others with...

    Interview advice for someone new to the field

    When I applied for my current job, I was quite upfront about not having much or even any experince with some of the specific technologies my current employer uses. That being said, I chose to emphasis that I've been in this field for (yikes) 18 years (just did the math!) and that I didn't know a...

    Currently employed and looking for work

    I think any HR policy that is in place when you started would dictate how long of a notice period you may have to give. At my current job, staff need to give two weeks but management must give a month. That being said, if the relationship goes sour after you give your notice, the shorter the...

    Selling your IT solutions...

    Another option to consider is one approach I used for a government office I did some work for. Instead of any type of employment contract or tender, I suggested that they open up a Purchase Order with a limit that they can authorize locally. That way, I just billed my time against the PO and...

    Okay to learn on the clock?

    One incident I can relate occured when our CEO asked me a technical question that I really couldn't remember the answer to. It had to do with some function in Word or Excel and I told him I'd be right back with the answer intending to just check it out on my system before showing him what to do...

    guilt feeling to change jobs

    With Ecobb's tag line, I think an "EExxcellant!" would work too!

    Mailbox limits question

    Although I'm new to Exchange, I do know that on my system the message gets sent once daily. I'm not sure what triggers it but my best guess is that the online defragmenter resets the message delivery as it runs daily.

    PC-Mac Problem

    Check how you are sharing the files too. On a Mac they may be set to shared throught AppleTalk which is no good for the PC. You will have to share the files using TCP/IP. Additionally, if you are hosting the files on one machine, they have to be open and ready on that machine and you don't...

    Global

    The best explaination I have seen about Global fields in FileMaker is that they do not belong to any record. In the past, I have been taught to think of global variables as ones belonging to all records, depending on where that global was defined. However, in a networked solution be aware that...

    service pack 4exch srv AND sp6a nt

    I do believe you have to reinstall the Exchange SP once the OS SP has been upgraded. If you don't mind, how did you install the SP 4 for Exchange. I have the downloads but the installation instructions only seem to refer to the CD. Any ideas where I could source those instructions? Thanks

    Poor Grades

    Not only are the soft and transferable skills a much added bonus to but don't forget to learn the business side of things as well. I have a Bachelor of Adminstration and have worked on everything but Unix since I graduated. One of the things I have had commented to me is that I do understand a...

    CCNA & MSCE - Are they worth the effort?

    I understand you point of view paintballer. Although I have a degree in business, I have been running businesses of my own or for others since I was 15 and really don't feel that I was taught a lot but it certainly has been a help in the early part of my career. Personally, I don't really care...

    521 Server does not accept mail

    Ok I guess I can answer my own post. Turns out to be a DNS error for the destinations email host. Just thought I'd pass it along in case anyone else gets the same error.

    CCNA & MSCE - Are they worth the effort?

    Well, I'm new to this forum as well as to being a primary NT administrator but I've been in systems for 15 years and have little use for most of the MCSE's I have encountered. I certainly have had the opportunity to go for a cert but I choose to send my time and efforts learning why things...

    521 Server does not accept mail

    (000B099C) 521 Server does not accept mail Hi Everyone. I am running Exchange 5.5 SP3 on NT 4.0 SP6. As of three days ago I get this message from any user trying to email one specific domain. My services don't end and I have recycled them with no improvement. I haven't seen this particular...
