Yeah - it blows peoples minds when I explain how "Mary had a little lamb" is as good a password as "Q2fg!x5"

Need to enable older LM & NTLM authentication. Since Vista, this has been set to NTLM2 auth only. SNAP servers generally don't support NTLM2 auths. 1) Click Start 2) Click Control Panel (not classic view) 3) Click System & Maintenance 4) Click Administrative Tools 5) Double Click Local...

We block it with over-ride possible if you ask nicely. If you really need the Facebook fix, get a smartphone.

Interesting - that's pretty much the same breakdown I use, except I'ce combined your last 2 categories.

No Facebook-o - No Problem-o! Seriously, not too long ago I about broke down and created one, until a "friend" didn't believe that I couldn't tell him my Facebook ID because I didn't have one. Went psycho thinking I was stiffing him, yada, yada. No thanks, Don't want.

I occasionally like to err to the other extreme and use the title "Unskilled Peon."

Boot from the XP CD, select New Install, and then Delete/Create partition?

Actually, I referred RSantiago here from the Server2003 forum. However, with RWW, wouldn't one of the servers have to be SBS? When you run Server Management, does it have the Microsoft Windows Server SBS Logo at the upper right? Or does the Start menu have the SBS description?

The existing SBS CALs would apply to/cover the additional server, so no need to acquire more unless he's increasing users as well. I've generally seen no problems with ISA on SBS - given an adequate server. It can have some definite advantages over just a standalone firewall given particular...

I would still suspect a difference in anti-virus scanning environments - likely for whatever reason the Sage DB directories are getting scanned on access under native Windows and aren't under Samba.

I generally use a hardware FW in combination with ISA for the reasons Mark just stated. Having, say, a Sonicwall do the port filtering right off the bat makes a lot of sense. It also creates a nice physical DMZ for guests to use that need an internet drop while keeping them physically out of...

I would surmise this, in combination with Vista, is likely the issue. You're in a perfect storm of tech upheaval, and yeah, you could say in that respect its not ready for prime time. But, as Stu says, someone (Microsoft) has to go first and prime the pump. My experience (x32 Vista Business)...

I would just bite the bullet and consult a regular tax CPA. When considering deducting home based business expenses, particularly space for a home office, there will be implications when you sell that house. There will probably be a local Small Business Administration (SBA) office in your...

Both an IS level store and a mail box (brick) level backup have their uses. The IS level store is primarily for disaster recovery purposes, as it is essentially a backup of the mail database, as a whole. It gets restored as a whole as well. The brick level backup allows you to restore...

Although its something I haven't used, or know that it is in widespread implementation, there's also Microsoft's Data Protection Manager. Its on my plate for further study, but appears to be targeted at mid-to-large size setups, even distributed and clustering.
