Hi all, Looking for some general info on anyone that has successfully set up a Windows Server 2003 cluster on an HP c7000 blade system. Specifically, how did you set up the "heartbeat" between the 2 servers and what are you using for shared storage? Thanks in advance.

Some of our address lists got messed up when migrating from Exchange 2000 to 2007. I need to include members of an address list based on their SMTP address. Basically, I want to say: ComapanyA address list contains any members whose email address is *@CompanyA.com CompanyB address list...

Anyone have any pros or cons to share running their business on DSL? We are a central office with 6 remote sites connected through T1's. We're trying to compare going to DSL for cost/speed reasons. My main concern is reliability. Our T1's rarely drop a connection, if ever. This wouldn't be...

We have certain users that should only be allowed to email within our organization. We set up a group in Active Directory "No Internet Mail" and we set them up with bogus smtp addresses. This used to work fine in Exchange 2000. However, in Exchange 2007, they still can't receive external mail...

How can I prevent users from within our organization from sending to one recipient outside of the organization (it is a yahoo address). We don't use the edge transport. We use a third party filter device for incoming email, but all outgoing is sent direct from the Exchange Server. I suppose I...

Hi all, Running Exchange 2007 and Outlook 2007. We just added a 5 user group of construction workers that are working on a building project for us. This group wants to share a calendar for appointments. Here is the way they describe what they need: Project Manager "Joe" adds an appointment...

We need to move our main file server share and I am looking for the most painless way to do this. We currently have our main shares on a single Windows 2003 Server. We are not using DFS, which I regret now because I think it would have simplified this. Anyway on the file server which is...

Ok, I thought I had all my bases covered. I upgraded the only Global Catalog server in our organization to Windows 2003 R2, ran forestprep, adprep, etc. From what I read you only need one GC in an organization to be running Windows 2003. This server (DC1) holds all FSMO roles. While trying...

I understand that ACL's can be applied to the vty lines to control access to Telnet. My question is this: If I already have an ACL on the WAN interface that does not allow port 23, is that enough to prevent Telnet access to my router from the outside? I imagine that packets hit the outside...

Has anyone used SQL Backup from Red-Gate software? I downloaded a trial version and backups seem to be super fast and the file is compressed by about 90% which would allow me to keep about a week's worth of backups right to disk, then just archive that to tape weekly. Anyone have experience...
