Well, these are all good points!! We've been running all our T1 extensions using CAT6 without any issues to be honest. This particular extension is over 100ft and I'd rather not run a new cable. Plus this particular company has a closure date so it will be a temporary thing. I think we will test...

great point and thank you for the last input. We are going from the smart jack right into the phone system. So if I understand I will crimp 12,45 same pairs on both ends.

Thanks again!!

Thanks!! Ya we have 7 T1's for our internet connection and am adding an 8th for voice. I might split one for the internet and steal a full one for voice. Am I correct in the pinouts? 12,45 on one side then those colors relate to 45,12 on the other side? Or will it be 12,45 and 12,45 on both ends?

Hi, I'm wondering if we can take a single CAT6 cable and split it into two for T1 use? I'd rather not run another CAT6 between locations if I don't have to. I see the T1 pinout to be 1,2 and 4,5. Will it work?

Will Windows Home or Pro run on a mini? This particular mini has a 1.66ghz N450 Atom processor and 1GB ram but can be upgraded to 2GB from what I understand. It came with Windows 7 Starter but that OS has its limitations. thanks! Steve

Hi, I don't know if this is an Exchange or an Outlook question. I have a user where some appoinments require her to Accept/Decline her own created appointments. The problem with this is, she frequently revises appointment times/dates/resources and it will not let her because the system thinks...

Hi we are going to migrate Exchange 2007 to 2010 using a second server but we ultimately want Exchange to reside on the server 2007 is currently running on. The initial thoughts are to install 2010 on a second temp server and migrate the mailboxes and remove 2007 altogether. Then install 2010 on...

Hi we have a server that we just happened to notice was down. We don't use it often but is still important. Unfortunately the person managing this server is no longer with the company. Anyway, it will hang on splash screen although the windows activity line graphic still shows it going from left...

thanks Linny for the tips. I haven't noticed if those failed updates have actually been processed but I will give it a shot today.

False alarm. I let it just continue and it was actually doing something. All of a sudden I looked and it was at the logon prompt. There are a number of updates that failed but on the same screen is shows no updated needed at this time. I don't know what to make of it. Sorry again for the false...

Hello all, after last nights' updates my computer restarted with "Failure configuring windows updates reverting changes" and is stuck there and has been for many hours. So I hard powered it off and restarted and this screen came right back up. I can boot in safe mode but cannot do much else. I...

Hi everyone, we have now multiple internal people transferring files to our FTP site for their various contacts to logon and download. Is there any way to automatically expire those files so they don't stay there forever taking up space? If people don't clean up after themselves, we will quickly...
