You only need to worry about the OS and drive array configuration matching, don't be too concerned about the mother boards, back planes, RAID cards being identical. As long as the 2 servers present their storage arrays in the same format and volume sizes you should be OK. If it was me I would...

Thank you for the extremely considered and comprehensive answer TechyMcSe2K. It looks like I have no option other than SharePoint. Cheers

I believe it is technically possible but it is a really bad idea - you are opening the door to loads of potential problems with a configuration like that. All servers in a cluster should be as identical as possible to minimise the potential for introducing issues. I would always spend the...

Hello, and thanks in advance for any answers. I need to find a balance of permissions on our file server to allow users only the rights below: - Copy a new file into a folder - Open and read any file in the folder - Make a save-as copy of any file into the same folder The idea behind...

Thanks to all

Well that explains it - we are restricted to IE 6 here. Thanks for the prompt answer Simon. From your response it sounds like logging has to be enabled at the application end, rather than being something that can be selectively switched on/off from Windows event viewer. Is that correct...

Hello, How can I add Internet Explorer into the list of applications that log their activities and errors into a log file viewable through the XP Event Viewer along with Application, Security and System? Some otherwise identically imaged PCs in the company have IE (and other applications) in...

Very nice gmmastros, I will add it to my collection! Rob

This is a script that I have found very helpful when it comes to managing a SQL server without any fancy tools. It returns a list of the dBs in an instance with the size of the associated MDF and LDF files, as well as their location. ==================== declare @sql varchar(4000) declare...

Thanks cmeagan656, that has solved the printing problem! For the record (and for anybody reading this in the future) the solution is to delete the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security. The key in question is "OutlookSecureTempFolder ". Rob

Thanks for the response. I have run detect and repair without improvement, and SP isn't installed because, well it just isn't yet! I will get onto this today. If I am completely honest issue #1 is not really much of a concern, but issue #2 is a real problem. Thanks

The previous XP and Office 2003 build on the same PC didn't have this problem

Mike, I can't shed any light on this myself, but try looking in the "Microsoft SQL Server: Setup and Administration" forum. You might get your answer there.

Hello all, I have a fresh installation of XP (SP2) and Office 2003 (SP2) and have 2 linked issues with HTML emails. 1 - Print Preview doesn't work. a - The Print Preview option is not available when an HTML email is open on screen (greyed out) b - Selecting the email in question from the...

Thanks! I will try this in the morning! R
