I have 5.5 and the databses have gone by bye, so i need to use eseutil to do a hard fix of the databases. This means the db's will be down for a about 10 hours. While thats running is it conceivable to install a second instance of exchange on another nt4 box just so i can enable some users to...

I have recently installed one or 2 new printers on our network being run by our server. The problem is none of the client machines can see them. They appear to see the network fine and have access to all the files on the server etc, but the view of the server (from a client machine) seems out...
