    Blackberry & SBS 2003 Installation

    BES Express was never sold- it's free, and still available. I have BES Express running at about 7 client sites, including my own company office (which yes- it's running on SBS). Guys- you have some real misconceptions about BES. For starters,yes- it's free, for the first device in your...

    New server - torn between processors

    Usually you can talk them into dual at a reasonable price, or often free! You'll see they run specials frequently offering for instance dual 5410's at no charge. I'd pick dual lesser processors over a single higher processor any day. 2900's are great servers- improved over their predecessor...

    Resize of C drive

    Easiest way to resize is with 3rd party software. Partition Magic won't work on a server- you need a server enabled product. I've used Paragon Partion Manager Server Edition for several years- it's never failed me yet. Usually I'm going the other way- client's servers were set up originally...

    create a user who can access 1 shared folder

    Well, ideally you should not have shared an entire drive in the first place- you should share folders- not drives. In a conventional share, it is usually best to create security groups within the domain, and add users to those groups, then add permissions for groups, not individuals. This...

    Adding mailboxes

    Easiest way to insure they show up immediately is to go into Exch Manager > Recipients > Recipient Update Services, and select each update service, choose update now, then rebuild. The mailbox will show up immediately.

    using exchange to store email from my isp

    Taken from another site: Note, use with caution! Add a ScheduleAccelerator (DWORD) entry to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SmallBusine ssServer\Network\POP3 Connector" To determine the actual polling interval: Divide the POP3 Scheduling interval (the value you have configured in the...

    using exchange to store email from my isp

    You can set up a Public Folder contact list, that everyone can access. Everyone already has a default private contact folder in their exchange mailbox. This is your "address" book. Time to think Outlook / Exchange, not Outlook Express :-).

    Mapping Drives

    No netbios resolution via vpn. Edit hosts file on the remote pc to resolve server name(s) to IP(s).

    using exchange to store email from my isp

    Yes- that's the one. If you have the Wizard fetish, you can go to(which brings you to the same place anyway) Administrative tools > Server Management > Internet & Email > Manage POP3 e-mail >Open POP3 connector manager.

    using exchange to store email from my isp

    In server management, go to mail, and configure pop connector.

    using exchange to store email from my isp

    First of all you need to configure exchange on your SBS server. Have you done that yet? There is a wizard to set it up

    using exchange to store email from my isp

    I advise against using the built in POP3 connector, it's not very good in my opinion and I've had problems with it in the past. " What kind of problems? I have colleagues who use it almost exclusively on their client's networks and have never had issues. I have only 2 sites that use it, again...

    using exchange to store email from my isp

    No need for a 3rd party POP connector- this is exactly what the SBS POP connector does. It retrieves messages from a POP server, and redirects them to an exchange mailbox. In server management, go to Mail, open pop connector. You add your accounts there. To many people, this is one of the...

    How does SBS licensing work?

    LOL- MS Software "Open Value"- kind of an oxymoron. For the low low price of $922.00, you can "use" XP Pro; your SBS cal; and MS Office SBE for 3 years. Going to keep that PC more than 3 years? No problem- just ante up another $560 per PC. Or, you could buy your new PC with XP Pro installed...

    Dell PowerEdge 840-is it big enough?

    Spec out a 2900- by the time you add SAS and a raid controller to any of the lesser series, you're right at price of a 2900, which is a far superior server IMO (done 5 of them the last couple months). I just spec'd a 2900 with the following: - Dual Core Intel® Xeon® 5120, 4MB Cache, 1.86GHz...

    poweredge 4400 question

    They're great, durable old machines, but are a bit on the loud side. You have Five (5) chassis fans; and 3 fans for the power supplies (1 ea.). They are VERY loud. Mine runs Exchange for my office, which is in my house. It is located in the basement as the noise would drive me insane. I...

    poweredge 4400 question

    Why not look in the manual? Yes- you can add 32-bit PCI cards. http://www.support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/pe4400/en/it/system.htm#expansion_cards But, why would you want the 4400 as a workstation? I wouldn't one to listen to it in the same room! They're quite loud (like most...

    Upgrade drive capacity

    As others have stated, Dell tools and windows diskpart utility let you expand physical disk space, create new partitions on the space, etc., but have many limitations. Basically, they're a PITA. The limitation of not being able to expand the C:\ partition is one of the biggest. I have used...

    tz170 wireless not working

    The TZ170 wireless WLAN runs on a different address range than the LAN (default is 172.16.31.x, wireless gateway 172.16.31.1. It cannot run on the same subnet as the lan. If you are running DHCP on your lan, that's fine. You should then turn off DHCP on the SW lan side. It is not necessary...

    Raid or controller?

    It could be a drive issue. I have a client w/PE2800, and we were experiences drives going offline. Simply reseating the drives would bring them back, the array would rebuild, and all would seem fine.... for a while. Then another would go out, etc. Called support, and there issues with the...
