Hey guys, My company is looking into a full 45MB DS3 connection up and down. Most broker companies put pricing into the lower to upper $3000's, but one company came back with port and loop at at $2600/mo. The provider is the same provider as some of the other broker companies - what I can't...

Hey guys, Our company is looking into buying a phone system. We're about 40 people now, but may end up being as large as 120 at some point. We got a quote for the Nortel MICS w/v6.1 software and CallPilot 100. Question is, and sorry if I'm dumb here, but the system can support up to 192...

I know this is slightly off topic, but I wanted to see if any of you fellow tech types had installed a wired network solution in your homes. I just recently moved into a 15-year old, two story house and I'd like to set up a gigabit network throughout the house. Unfortunately in this case, the...

Hi guys, I'm using EX2003 STD and I have an e-mail address that sends an auto-response when someone e-mails it. Due to the fun worms going around at the moment, we'll receive e-mail with the From field spoofed, and our auto-reply tries to send a mail to an invalid address. The mail server on...

Hey guys, I wanted to get a poll of the procedures you guys go through when an employee is fired or leaves the company. Our first employee left, and I was curious what you guys do in your Active Directories and more importantly, your exchange servers. To start, I have: - Exchange 2003...

Hi guys, Apologies for the n00b question here, but our company has a full T1 coming into our office. We'd like to expand our bandwidth, but don't want to pay the insane fees to jump to a T3 or higher in our area. 3Mb cable modems are available - how could I connect both a T1 *and* a cable...

Hi, I have a file server that has the Advanced File Open option installed. It's worked great for weeks, and all of a sudden, the last two full backups, I've received this error: OFO: Volume specified is not snappable. Possible reasons: Not a fixed drive, or contains an active cache file or...

Hi there, Pretty much every week, I have to rebuild a system from scratch, including installing Windows XP, Office 2003 Basic, and a number of other apps like WinZip and Photoshop. Each system I set up generally uses the same hardware and software. Has anyone found a good unattended/automated...

Hey guys, One of my users accidentally started deleting a folder up on our server. I used BE9.1 to restore using the "skip if file exists" option. After the restore completed, the very large job log tells me what files were skipped, but I can't for the life of me display what files were...

Hi guys, I've set up Backup Exec to do a full backup each Sunday, with Incrementals every other day. Sometimes I seem to get an orphaned tape that I can't easily identify what's on it. Is there a quick way to determine which backup job(s) a tape was used for? (Right now, I'm just rt-clicking...

I have a SonicWALL Pro 230 protecting my company's LAN and we have some devices that use DHCP to get themselves IP addresses. The device broadcasts on boot up from 0.0.0.0 and the SonicWALL logs this as a threat and eats the packets, thus stopping the device from getting an IP address. I've...

Do you have to have a Remote Agent license in order to backup a standard Windows XP machine (not a server)? ~S~

Hi guys, I have four Windows Servers, 3 running Windows Server 2003, and one running Windows Powered for NAS (2000). I also run Exchange Server 2003. I have a Dell DLT IV auto-loader and I want to make sure I purchase the right software for the job. What do you guys recommend, just a copy of...

So I set up my company with an AD domain name that exactly matches our internet domain (e.g. company.com) instead of doing what I should have done by making a company.local domain. At any rate, am I screwed at this point, and if not, any gotchas I should be aware of? I know I need to set up a...

Hi there, I've read over the Microsoft licensing documentation about fivetimes, but am finding the answer to my following question rather ellusive :) Say I have 30 users on my network. If I have one server with Win2k3 Enterprise Server (+25 CALs) installed and another server with Win2k3...

Hey guys, I'm an Exchange Neophyte and am getting ready to buy Exchange 2003 for my small business. I noticed that with the Standard version of Exchange, it doesn't include an X.400 connector. Is this something I should be concerned about? My company is made up entirely of Windows XP PC's...

Hi there, I've been asked to set up a new network for my company, and I wanted to ask how this works specifically. Basically my network will look like so: Internet -> Firewall -> (DMZ) FTP and mail relay (DMZ) -> Firewall 2 -> Internal Network. This seems like a fairly secure solution for a...

Hi guys, I'm putting together my first server room for a small company (25 people at first, going to a max of 50 in a year) and was hoping for some pointers. We purchased the following so far: 1) Dell PowerEdge 2600 (with 2 CPU's, 1GB of RAM, redundant PS, Server 2003) Plan to have this...

Hey guys, I'm looking at NAS options right now for a fairly small business (<50 users) and came across the Dell PowerVault 725N for a really good price on the low end model. Question is, can I put in my own hard drives into this puppy and have it work ok? It comes with 4 40GB drives, which...

Hey guys, I'm working with a few guys to start up a small software company (about 50 people tops). I'd like to get decent Internet for a company like that, but would like to keep costs down to a reasonable amount, so T1 or ATM is probably more than we'd want to pay. Would business DSL be able...
