Hi all, I have a 2008 server running Exchange 2007 SP1 that crashed hard (power outage, bad battery backup), so I repaired the database. It happened again a few days later, and what I could find online basically says not to run on that twice-repaired database for long. I created a new...

That's not a bad idea at all. Create _DONOTSENDHERE or something. They'll still mess it up.

The way we have it set up is that an underscore automatically means "_DomainUsers" So when someone writes an email to My_daughter@hotmail.com and then backspaces a bit and misses the underscore it automatically resolves to domain users and they send them out. I agree, it's a training issue...

Hi there, I am wondering if there is a way to force people to click "yes I am sure I want to send this message" or something when sending to _Domain Users. We have people accidentally sending emails around to the entire domain about their home problems, selling eggs, and crap like that...

Can you just add "everone" with full access? You dont say that you want to lock it down, you just want both installs to get to it.

You could just have a timed lock out policy. User accounts get locked for 20 minutes, then unlock on their own. I have no idea about any of those products...

Hi there, I've got a 2000 terminal here that is giving me fits... Wont let me uninstall, reinstall, or do anything of the sort. Ever tried to install the Windows Installer Cleanup utility only to have Windows Installer not work? Ever tried to install Windows Installer 3.0 only to have it not...

This is incorrect. If it's different speeds, the RAM will just run at the slowest RAMs speed. If you are using a 400 and a 333, they will both run at 333.

Thanks for the advice, I'll begin reading up on some of the stuff you mentioned!

Name the info you need and I'll provide it. I just didnt want to sketch out both networks because that's far too much info :) I guess I should get reading a bit more... I honestly think the higher ups are planning on outsourcing most of it, so I've just got to get the connectivity stuff done...

Hi there, We are running 2003 exchange and as the title says, we purchased another company. I've got a couple just general questions for now, then I'll need some technical advice once I figure out what direction to go. Merging two Exchange servers... Hard, easy, or even possible? Instead of...

In the BIOS turn off the "Wake on LAN" option.

Is there a service that is hanging at the "starting" stage? Go to start->Run and type in "Services.msc" without the quotes. Check and make sure all of them are started or blank, they shouldnt be "starting" or "stopping" Anything in the event logs?

I cant believe I wrote that incorrectly. Thanks for the save Linney.

Alt+M and then use the arrow keys to move the program window around the screen. That will get it back on the screen, then making it bigger should be as easy as click and dragging the corner.
