    DS3 - Pricing Crazy

    Hey guys, My company is looking into a full 45MB DS3 connection up and down. Most broker companies put pricing into the lower to upper $3000's, but one company came back with port and loop at at $2600/mo. The provider is the same provider as some of the other broker companies - what I can't...

    CallPilot 100?

    Hey guys, Our company is looking into buying a phone system. We're about 40 people now, but may end up being as large as 120 at some point. We got a quote for the Nortel MICS w/v6.1 software and CallPilot 100. Question is, and sorry if I'm dumb here, but the system can support up to 192...

    Directory not found

    Izidor, did you manage to figure this one out? I'm having the exact same problem -- The directories that are listed don't even exist on my server, not to mention that the directory name has two back-slashes in it ("\xxx\\yyy\z") I also tried turning off the root folder ("\xxx"), saving it, and...

    Wiring up a Home Network

    Thanks A! Since I have the carpet off, I started tacking down CAT 5e along the tack board (between the board and where the carpet padding will go). Hopefully that'll work out OK, guess I just need to be careful with furniture :)

    BE9.1 - Advanced File Open "volume not snappable" error

    That ended up being the problem - After installing some hotfixes, the message changed to not being able to get enough "quiet time." Boy, do I know that feeling :) At the moment, yes it's for the whole server. How do you specify which folders it should and shouldn't apply to? Thanks!

    Wiring up a Home Network

    I know this is slightly off topic, but I wanted to see if any of you fellow tech types had installed a wired network solution in your homes. I just recently moved into a 15-year old, two story house and I'd like to set up a gigabit network throughout the house. Unfortunately in this case, the...

    How to stop massive auto-replies?

    Hi guys, I'm using EX2003 STD and I have an e-mail address that sends an auto-response when someone e-mails it. Due to the fun worms going around at the moment, we'll receive e-mail with the From field spoofed, and our auto-reply tries to send a mail to an invalid address. The mail server on...

    Poll about employees who leave the company

    Hey guys, I wanted to get a poll of the procedures you guys go through when an employee is fired or leaves the company. Our first employee left, and I was curious what you guys do in your Active Directories and more importantly, your exchange servers. To start, I have: - Exchange 2003...

    Additional broadband connections

    Hi guys, Apologies for the n00b question here, but our company has a full T1 coming into our office. We'd like to expand our bandwidth, but don't want to pay the insane fees to jump to a T3 or higher in our area. 3Mb cable modems are available - how could I connect both a T1 *and* a cable...

    BE9.1 - Advanced File Open "volume not snappable" error

    Hi, I have a file server that has the Advanced File Open option installed. It's worked great for weeks, and all of a sudden, the last two full backups, I've received this error: OFO: Volume specified is not snappable. Possible reasons: Not a fixed drive, or contains an active cache file or...

    Automated System Installations

    Hi there, Pretty much every week, I have to rebuild a system from scratch, including installing Windows XP, Office 2003 Basic, and a number of other apps like WinZip and Photoshop. Each system I set up generally uses the same hardware and software. Has anyone found a good unattended/automated...

    BE 9.1 - Restoring Files

    Thanks Matt, that would have been a much safer way to do it. Fortunately it worked out ok, *this time* :)

    Bummer. :) Thanks Justin.

    BE 9.1 - Restoring Files

    Hey guys, One of my users accidentally started deleting a folder up on our server. I used BE9.1 to restore using the "skip if file exists" option. After the restore completed, the very large job log tells me what files were skipped, but I can't for the life of me display what files were...
