Hello all - I had to rebuild our file server OS yesterday. Separate from the hard drive on which the OS is/was installed, we have (2) 40GB drives that were mirrored within Server 2003. Upon reinstalling Server 2003 on a new drive (again, separate from the mirror), the new OS recognizes the 2...

Thanks for the response soleagle. I have to work through our ISP's tech support to configure the router (but they seem willing to help). The router is capable of NATing. So if I understand correctly, the router (which currently has an internet IP of 64.0.92.5) needs to be configured for...

Hello everyone - I recently ported several access tables to SQL Server. A couple of these tables were "accessed" via parameterized Access queries - either for use in reports, or just to view/modify the data. The users are comfortable with Access as the front end, but I am just not sure of how...

I recently installed the corporate edition on our file server, and have been deploying the client install for several of our office PCs. So far so good... We have a 10 seat license - so when I go to Manage License Seat Allocations for my single group, I see 10 Allocated, 10 Distributed, and 8...

Thanks all for the replies! martyh - I had not tried to ping the FQDN. On your recommendation I tried, and the domain controller responded. So it was able to resolve the FQDN, but not the NetBIOS name. Joseph - makes sense - I tried to telnet to port 3398, and that worked as well, so the...

I stumbled across the solution when searching for the connection strings for Data Shaping. It also showed an example of calling sprocs within the SHAPE command. I forgot the exec statement! Oddly enough, the provider I am using (MSDataShape) did not require it on the parent recordset...

Hello all - I am at wits end with a pretty simple data shaping application. I have two tables related to one another (standard one to many relationship between parent and child). I am trying create a data shape to populate the hierarchical flex grid. I am able to get the desired shape when I...

Hello all - I have stumped myself on the following. I am writing a stored procedure that, among other things, will insert values from one table into another. The source table has 59 fields - 57 of which I need to use to insert into the destination table, which in addition to these 57 fields...

Hello all - I have read a few existing threads regarding Terminal Services Licensing which helped me realize that my Terminal Server Licensing Server was setup for per Device CALs, and I have installed per User CALs (5). I just went in and changed the setting to per User in Terminal Services...
