    Allow Users to Log In at Different Sites

    maybe, if you use folder re-direction to a share on the server, (thus moving the big "my documents" issue) make sure all the users e-mail is held on the exchange server, rather than a .pst file, and maybe....hmmm, here's a thought...have a dhcp server on each site, then jig a logon script to...

    Allow Users to Log In at Different Sites

    i had a similar situation, here's how i resolved it.... got two pentium pc's with two nics in each, installed smoothwall firewall on each (using them as independent firewalls for each site) with static addresses for each internet connection....then configured the firewalls to talk to each other...

    Hiding Shared Folders in Windows 2003 Server

    hi, if you would normally map to a share called data on a server by mapping to \\server\data, then if it is a hidden share called data$ then map to \\server\data$ the name is as you share it, but the $ just prevents it from being seen.... hope this helps J...

    Pro's and Con's for new Windows Server

    factors to consider: - data redundancy, what will you do if theres a disk failure ? it's as easy to configure a hardware raid 5, then divide your partitions accordingly, and have a spare disk lying on your shelf just in case.... - data storage, if you mirror the c: drive, you have raid1 cover...

    Moving from External email to internal email -

    Hi, just my thoughts... if you are already used windows servers, then a move to exchange would probably be a wise move...you could probably re-organise your network and buy a new powerful server to deal with your e-mail, and after 6 months it's paid for itself by saving you 1200 bucks a month ...

    Downgrade Exchange?

    I don't think you can downgrade exchange, enterprise installs a few extra functions and is designed for clustering and has large databases etc...check out the MS website, but i don't think it's a starter :-( J. ======================================= I know i've got it backed up somewhere...

    NT 4 Server Rebooting at Startup

    as wolluf says, check hard disk and memory, something has changed to cause the fault, try a rebuild of NT server on a new hard disk... hope this helps J. ======================================= I know i've got it backed up somewhere! =======================================

    Intelligent Message Filtering

    of course, there is another plan.... use a third party spam filter, like gfi mail essentials or mailwall...i have used both in the past and found them to be quite good.... might appease the management, and be easy and a lot less hassle and time consuming... J...

    Intelligent Message Filtering

    as far as i understand it (some checking on the old technet may be in order) but you build an exchange server, then add it to an existing exchange organisation, then tick the box under "server properties" to set it as a front-end server....then configure it to do your collecting and sending...

    Virus protection

    I concur with tfg13, i tend to use trend antivirus on fileservers, exchange and workstations and find it to be just fine, cheap enough and very efficient. I have used f-secure in the past and found that to be pretty good.... it's just down to how good you want it to be :-) J...

    Internet on LAN

    no, you keep your existing system, just build a new pc with two nic's in, then install smoothwall on it, then use the lan ip address of the firewall as your default gateway, then reconfigure your DNS if needed, and away you go !!!! J. ======================================= I know i've got it...

    how to configure local email using exchange 2003

    with SBS if you use the wizard, then when you add a user, use the appropriate template and this should set up exchange for each user...it should be straightforward...if any user can connect to exchange, then they all should...if any can't, then it's probably an issue with the workstation...

    Restrict Internet Access

    what software are you using on the gateway ??? most decent software packages can control access.... the alternative is put your intranet on a seperate server and configure your DNS to point to the new server, so there is no need to use your bandwidth until you need to, or change your setup...

    Intelligent Message Filtering

    i've never tried IMF in a cluster, but.... just get it in writing that management want you to do a "major" change on a LIVE server that works just fine, after showing them the microsoft documentation, warning them of the consequences of a fault, then if they really insist, make a 'ghost copy of...

    how to configure local email using exchange 2003

    hi, firstly just configure a new e-mail acount on outlook, and select exchange server, then configure the details (mail server and user name etc) i assume all the users have been configured on the server with accounts etc, should be fairly straightforward... then configure address books etc...

    Exchange Server Backup

    the easy way to do it is use a third party app, backupexec or arcserve would be best i suppose...then you can create a daily schedule to run in the middle of the night, all you have to do is change the tape every morning :-) hope this helps ======================================= I know i've...

    Users Deleting Files, any advise?

    explore the options provided with "shadow copies" which should be a function of your server....it may provide an answer to your problems, or create a constant mirror of your data, which can only be added to, which is backed up every night, then erased ready for the next day...

    Internet on LAN

    question: do you have an old pentium pc ? with a cd rom ? fit two network cards to it, goto http://www.smoothwall.org/ and get the free smoothwall firewall.... burn the image to a cd, follow the installation instructions, then plug the red card into the cable modem, and the other into the LAN...
