    Storage space

    Hi All, Not sure if this is the best forum for this. I have a user that drags Outlook 2003 email messages to a WS2003 server folder for storage. After doing 3 or 4 she gets a message popup that says "Not enough Storage Room to complete Operation" There is plenty (300GB) of space on the server...

    Password Length on NT BDC in 2003 AD

    I'm sure this is a silly question, but I don't want to tell someone the wrong thing. I've been following Mark's advise on using passphrases on my 2003 boxes, but a friend has a 2003 AD with NT BDC's in it. He wanted to know if he could use a 20 character passphrase without problems with the...

    Synch with Palm or Pocket PC

    I've heard several times that we shouldn't synch our dbase 6.5 with a palm or Pocket PC. That to if we want to get GM data to either of these devices, we should go through Outlook first: GM->OL->palm->OL->GM. Why is that? My boss wants to synch to his ppc, but would prefer to not go through OL...

    In Files in \WTSRV\Install there are about 455MB of Uninstall files. I'm getting very tight on space on this server. Can I delete these files without causing problems? I know this is VERY broad question, but until I can rebuild this NT4 Citrix box to 2003 I need to free up my system drive...

    Enterprise or Standard?

    Hi all, We are thinking about going with Exchange as there are add-ons that only exist for Exchange that management wants. My question is which do we need Ent or Std. Currently we have 22GB of PST for our 70 users. I see in MS specs that Std has a max DB size of 16GB. Am I looking at the right...

    Exchange 2003 hardware

    Hi all We are thinking of switching to Exchange 2003. Currently using MDaemon, which I like a lot, but requre some of things that only Exchange can provide. We have 60 users. I'm wondering if a 4x 600 Xenon server with 2GB running WS 2003 would be sufficient. I know Exchange likes its...
