Hello, We are about to make the change from win2k mixed to native mode. I'd like to have a backout plan. Thinking about taking 2 of 4 DC's offline, making the switch and testing it for a few days, if it's ok, bring other 2 (mixed) DCs back online and let them sync with the native domain, if...

Hello, I seem to be having some problems with the Recall Message feature in OL2000 being used with EXchange2000. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. i've read all about when it is supposed to work and when it isn't i.e. if the user has the preview pane on, has read the email etc then...

No, this is not the problem. Thanks anyway. Will

Thanks, I should have said that the laptop in question is using a docking station, so no go there. I will have a look at teh FN kay thing, but I don't think it will help. Thanks anyway though Will

I have a widescreen flat panel monitor which has an optimum (and maximum) resolution of 1280 x 768. I am using it alongside my laptop (which doesn't have a 1280 x 768 option for obvious reasons). OS is windows server 2003, which is pretty much the same as XP. I have installed the latest...
