Hi All Quick question: Anyone have any experience with copying large amounts of files and directories from a Windows NT Server box to a newly configured Windows 2003 server? The reason I ask is I'm wondering if I'm going to run into file ownership and security issues when I deploy my new...

I am in complete agreement with dennisbbb and what he states is generally my thinking as well although not the only reason I do it. You points are well taken and for most IT mngrs...probably the way to go. But..... Specifically, most of our mail (mail that pertains to business or clients) is...

I was mistaken... I guess the difference in cost for the 100 and 150 are quite large. I just checked it out and you're looking at about 800 to a 1000 difference. P :)

Hi Rob In my opinion, I would go with the 150. If this is a 3-5 year plan, it would make more sense to install the 8 ports right away and plan for the future. On top of that you get 5 times the amount of storage and the 150 is expandable to 200 mailboxes as opposed to only 40 with the 100. I...

Thanks for the suggestion! Works now. P :)

Hi, My question deals with changing the delivery location of all internal mail in Outlook XP. I have a ver 5.5 Exchange server and everyone running personal folders on their pc's. However, one system is still using the Exchange side mailbox. I have changed the delivery location within Outlook...

Hey JTB Thanks for the info. On the PDC stuff...no, I didn't leave it in place. I shut it down before the upgrade. I wanted it status quo so I could fall back to it if needed...and I needed. :) The jist of it is, I didn't want to do a complete "new" install of 2003...too much work. So...taking...

I have a dilemna. I recently upgraded a fresh BDC (synch'd to my PDC)to 2003 Srv. What I didn't account for were my legacy NT member servers. Now...when I try to join them to my new domain...they don't support the 17 character domain name I gave my new server. :( So...am I s.o.l.? Or is there a...

Sorry....here's the error Warning!! The DB437US0 language drive of the current database differs from the DBWINS0 Lang driver of the database alias as defined in your BDE Configuration. Rebuilding the database will convert the tables to use DBWINS0 lang drivers and translate the accented...

I am having problems with my data ever since upgrading to 6.0. The most recent being this error message below and now all my records that contain extended characters...are showing # in place of these characters. Does anybody know how to get around this? Can I reinstall BDE or simply reinstall...

Hi All Here's my two cents and a question. From what I've read thus far...the easiest way to do this is to upgrade your BDC after you promote it. Essentially, I'm doing the same thing here but have not yet got to the Win2K3 stage. My method will involve synchronizing my BDC, clearing out old...

Thanks..I guess I didn't see it in the list. :) P

Hi All I have a question. I'm upgrading my network to Win2k3 server and decided to do the BDC upgrade thing...instead of upgrading directly on my PDC. This way I always have an out if something goes awry. In any event...my question is, can I upgrade this BDC off-line and then turn it up at a...

Hi all Couple of things. First, why does my DHCP server (runnning on my main PDC)not release IP's all the time? It seems like I have multiple IP's assigned to the same systems simply because they are not released when machines are put on or taken off the network. Any ideas? Second...I'm...
