    Mail Bounce Back

    Can other people with this organisation send to this recipient? Can this user send to other people? As kurio askes, does this user have any aliases, and do these all exhibit the same problem.

    Migration from SBS2003 to what?

    I've quite a few customers on SBS2003, MS support will stop 2015, I need to give these customers a heads up on spending money in the next 2 years - many of these server boxes will not take a new system, so they're looking at new server SW and a new box to put it on. BUT What do I recomend? Likly...

    SBS2011 TS/RDT licensing

    Thank you Mr (or Ms) Monkey, that's usefull, but I'm trying to get to the licensing set up where I tell the server I want to play Admin RDT not Client RDT - I understand this is diffrent in 2011, but I just cannot find where to jump in. Ta

    SBS2011 TS/RDT licensing

    I'm lost - I've set up a SBS2011 machine, and just need to configure RDT for Admin only - don't want remote client lisences. I cannot see what to do! I'm operating within the grace period, so no imediate panic, but if I try and follow the 'The Remote Desktop Session Host server is within its...

    Time Capsule as a NAS device

    Can I do this? Attach a time capsule via ehternet to an existing LAN network? The TC then is available to a LAN attached Mac to use time machine to. Don't want to use the TC as a router (doesn't support LAN to LAN VPN termination). I'm going spare trying to understand the Apple docs, most of...

    Mac can't send mail only when connected by VPN

    Don't know if you're still looking for an answer - I'd guess it's a VPN port transparancy/ time out issue -. What are you using to create the VPN on the mac, and how is the VPN terminated at the site? Do remote PC users have the same problems? If you dress a PC user up in the mac's VPN settings...

    Port80 forwarding to webcam wont work

    Ho hum, I'm confused - IP webcam on my internal network (192.168.111.17) can be seen by internal users on both port 80 and it's alternative port (8080). Vigor 2910 dual wan router set up with port 8080 forwarding to e.g. 111.23 my OKI network printer and an external user can see the printer web...

    SBS2003 Monitoring and Reporting login error

    I've a new built sbs2003 SP2 machine which seems fine EXCEPT when I try open Monitoring and Reporting in system manager I get presented with a 'connect to server.domain.local' login prompt. I'm loged into a RDT session using the administrator account on the domain, but which ever combination of...

    Two identical W2K3 Server problem

    I think as bigebowski says it's an issue with the SIDs. Although they are identical hardware, windows knows they are not the same machine. For the 'hot standby' situations I have, I use the product UMove from UTools. Don't know if this would suit your situation. Some pros don't like it 'cos it...

    Damaged media

    This is going to sound like a scam, but stay with me please. I need to rebuild a server 2003 system, and the R2 disk 1 is damaged (the CD drive has some how scratched it to the extent that it won't read). I've got the registration number - I've got the software box, disk 2, licence agreement -...

    Temporary use of a WSUS

    Thnaks guys, I'm happy to set up a WSUS, once it's set up it'll make my life easier. I think I'll spend so much time maintaining an offline store, I'm happy to invest the time in setting up the WSUS initially. I'll take a look at the script pointers goombawaho sent over the weekend. Thanks for...

    Temporary use of a WSUS

    We build a few new PCs a month, these machines are usally going out to individuals/ small organisations. I'd like to set up a WSUS server to save time downloading updates from the web. What I'd like is a pair of batch files that I load to the newly built PC, run the 1st which hacks the registry...
