Dell and HP both suggest a RAID 1(SATA) for the OS and RAID 5 (3 SAS drives). This gets expensive. For 40 users am I being foolish to consider just two drives with OS and Exchange mirrored. Or how about still using 5 drives but make them all SATA. Or how about RAID 10 with 4 drives. Would...

I have a HP Proliant ML310 G3 with RAID 1. I installed Server 2003 R2 - Disk 1 only and when I ran windows update it installed SP2. After rebooting it gives a missing NTLDR error. I went to recovery mode and copied the NTLDR, ntdetect to the C drive. There was also no boot.ini so I created...

I have a report calculate total wages based on hours * hourly rate. The rate is kept in a table. I grab the rate using Dlookup. The same rate is used throughout all the calculations - only the hours change. So I figured it would be wise to assign the rate to a variable on form load to save...

My original DC is Windows 2000. I added a new Windows 2003 DC and transferred all FSMO roles to it. My client PCs still sync time to the old 2000 DC. If I run net time at any client it gives me time on the old DC. How do I change it so clients get time from new 2003 DC? I have about 40...

My computer is XP pro on Windows 2003 domain. DC is named Pluto. I have one more DC named Jupiter. When I try to add an ODBC data source System DSN to an SQL server and click on the Server selection drop down arrow, it shows two instances of Pluto(location of SQL Desktop). Regardless of...

Due to Sonicwall VPN problems (IKE Responder: IPSec proposal does not match (Phase 2)), I need to change to a different subnet. Currently using 192.168.0.0/24. This is probably a good idea anyway because it is used too much worldwide. Anyway my Windows 2003 DC is also my DNS, DHCP, WINS...

From the knowledge base on Microsoft I read that with Windows Messenger 5.1 you can IM using Exchange 2003, but other search results say not. Can you IM with Exchange 2003? If not and I get Live Messenger Server, is it okay to run it on my Exchange 2003 box? I am trying to stop the use of...

I had some memory issues the other day. Dell Tech chat suggested a firmware update. I download the latest A02 and installed. Appeared to go well, then on reboot the POST does find drives and then hangs after the message "BIOS installed successfully" and cursor flashes. I tried restarting...

Our ISP hosts our web - www.sample.com Our Windows 2003 internal domain name is sample.com I setup an A record to point www.sample.com to resolve website internal and this works. The problem is the ISP setup a calendar at http://sample.com/cal/. I am unable to resolve this internally. Next...

Our local domain is domainname.com Our public domain has the same name hosted by ISP. I want to install Exchange to have users share Outlook calendars. I want to continue to use the ISP POP accounts. It would be nice if ISP goes down, that local domain email still works. I am assuming that if...

Windows SBS 2003 DC with 2 NICS - One is for LAN, the other is unplugged. When I setup RRAS last week, no clients could ping server. I discovered by disabling RRAS and 2nd unplugged NIC, I could get clients to see server. Today I tried enabling the second NIC - still unplugged - without RRAS...

I installed Grisoft AVG network edition anti-virus on a SBS2003 Server. It also includes a firewall. I installed it and of course windows keep popping up asking me about trafic allowed. Some of them have strange IP addresses, but are probably okay?? What should be allowed through. It is the...

VPN was working from home (XP pro) to Windows 2003 Server server at working (Routing and remote access). Both machines are behind Actiontec GT701 router. Work router has TCP 1723 and GRE 47 forwarded to Win 2003 server local IP. After accessing server through Remote Desktop, I ran Windows...

I setup Windows SBS 2003 and then Routing and remote access at work. I set the Actiontec router to forward port 1723 and GRE 47 to the the server local IP address. I was able to VPN and Remote Desktop Connection from home into the server. Everything worked great. Then I ran Windows update...

If my Win2k Server hardware fails (not hard drive) then I understand it can be a nightmare to restore AD to different hardware when there is only one DC. If I replace Server, install Win2k or Win2003 Server, setup AD from scratch, create users, and then restore files from original hard drive or...

I have one DC with 30 clients. From reading I find if my hardware fails, recovery will be complex since hardware will be different. My current DC has hardware RAID 1 with 80GB drives, a system, application, and data partition. Money is limited. Am I making more of this change of hardware...

I run Win2k server (1.85GHz - P4 - 1GB RAM - two 80GB hard drive - hardware raid mirrored)and would like to upgrade to SBS2003 and hope to install exchange. I want to upgrade the 2003 Server portion first and then install the Exchange component. If I do install exchange can I put it on...

I run a Windows 2000 Server domain with 30 clients. I have SBS2003. Can I upgrade the server portion only without adding the other components like exchange? If I do install exchange can I put it on another partition? My concern is that my C partition is 8GB with only 4GB of it free. SBS2003...
