    Can't Install Windows NT updates

    Download and install NT4 service pack 6a and the post Service pack 6a security rollup package from the MS download site - not Windows update. I would not bother with anything else. Windows Update does not work with NT4 anymore.

    Information Store won't start with error code 1053

    Don't use personal folders - size your Exchange to match your requirements and if properly set up and maintained should be very reliable. Set limits on the mailbox sizes and enforce them! You can have a mail store size of up to 75G with Exchange Std which should be enough for a hundred or so...

    The previous system shutdown at Time\Date was Unexpected

    If it happens at the same time every 2 weeks, may be worth watching the console as it happens - even if it means an early morning:-( Could it be a faulty UPS doing a self test - this disconnects the load? On some servers, you can set the BIOS so after power loss / return, the server is set to...

    XP RAID question

    Why not start again and create a single RAID 5 with all three disks and keep Windows and Data in the same partition? I don't think you would notice any performance loss as you are already using part of all the disks for the RAID 5. Or get a fourth disk and have a System RAID1 on one controller...

    OEM vs Retail....Legal??

    FYI - from http://oem.microsoft.com/downloads/licensing/Zoom1-5/ZoomInNew.html This is the "old" license which I guess covers XP OEM "4.1 The enclosed individual software licenses may only be distributed with fully assembled PCs (which include a minimum of CPU, motherboard, hard drive, power...

    Upgrading to Exchange 2003

    Yet another stupid question...should I go with standard or enterprise version?" As above reply and also Standard with SP2 has a database limit of 75GB max per store. It's set in the Registry - default is 18GB. Enterprise is unlimited.

    Upgrading SBS 2003 to SBS 2003 Premium Edition

    With SBS Premium you get an extra CD which has the extra components on it such as SQL. You can install whatever components you want. It should not change or break your existing SBS 2003 installation.

    Error connecting to Terminal servers through Remote Desktop

    And if that didn't work, I'd check the server had found its Terminal Services Licensing server - it might have reached its 90 or 120 (?) day limit before it needs a license?

    Thanks for the help Pat, Shame we can't have a Front End server with some mailboxes on it:-( We don't want the cost of yet another Exchange Server so will run OWA local on both boxes for the time being. Regards David

We've now added a 2nd Exchange server and moved some mailboxes over and want to use OWA to access mailboxes on both servers. OWA works for mailboxes on the old server but not on...
