    Run application from another remote computer

    What do you mean connected? What platform(s)? Can you tell us a sample app? Not really possible to answer your question with the info given.

    Ghostwalk or NewSID after joining domain?

    Hmm... I had a similar concern before joining our machines to the domain. Check this out: might not be a problem with a domain, only a workgroup. "What's the real problem anyway? The issue of duplicate SIDs are not a problem at all in a Domain-based NT network because domain accounts have...

    Transfering our novell to a mixed domain/non-domain...

    Thanks everyone! ABE is just the ticket. What a life saver.

    Transfering our novell to a mixed domain/non-domain...

    We're moving our File services off novell to 2003. Under novell, if a user browses to the HOME folder, which contains all USER folders, they see and have access only to their own USER folder. Same thing goes for the department folders. Under 2003, I can easily set it so that one has...

    Continuous Improvement vs. Project Management

    In my experience, having worked in both environments, it is extremely difficult to achieve project goals and continuous improvement goals. Conceptually, a project is called a project so that it can have a clear beginning and end, and a resultant product that can show ROI and all that good...

    Service Level Agreement

    My two cents. Coming into an environment that sounds much like your's, I've found that the management here doesn't want the structure and prefers to keep things loose (I was hired to introduce some structure but most managers don't want it). They like being able to iniate a project through a...

    Off-Topic: Resource Planning

    Hi All, Apologies for the somewhat off-topic post. I'm trying to find forums and resources for MIS and IT planning. I'm researching this information for two reasons: first I think it would be interesting in and of itself. Second, I feel I'm wildly overtasked and am looking for industry...

    Pros/Cons and info about moving a DB to a NAS Device

    SQLBill: That's what I wanted to do. But this company is pretty cheap. I priced out a system and they choked on their top ramen.

    Sheez Louise! Thanks very much for the info, everyone. You just saved me a big headache.

    Microsoft's Retail Management System?

    Hi Rick, Our customer db is quite substantial - probably in the neighborhood of a million distinct customers. Using SQL Server instead of MSDE made a major difference in performance. Locking down the retail machines is one of my main priorities, believe me. The company I work for has a...

    Pros/Cons and info about moving a DB to a NAS Device

    Hello All, We've run out of space on our SQL server and have decided to move the DBs off the server and onto a NAS device. I expressed some concerns with this idea but this is the solution that was decided on. Before I actually order the equipment, I'd like to get other opinions about it...

    Microsoft's Retail Management System?

    I'll guess I'll weigh in with our experiences with MS RMS. We use it at 7 retail locations currently and have a test store set up as well. Our usage would be akin to Radio Shack. We do a lot of catalogue sales so we try to capture customer information at purchase time so we can send them...

    Best practices in POS environments

    I was wondering if anyone could point me to a list of best practices for POS environments. Reliability is something I'm constantly trying to improve at our retail locations but of coure, money, time and availability are all limiting factors in the POS equation.

    Scalability of Microsoft RMS

    Hi All, I work for a company with six retail locations but our current expansion plan is to be at 20 within the next three years. We currently use MS RMS at our retail locations, which sell specialty clothing items. Typical use would be somewhere equivalent to a radio shack and we do try to...

    Large DBs, backups and remote sites

    That was my initial thought as well. I looked into it and it's still a possibility, but robocopy adds quite a bit to the process. 1. I have to write a script for each location that my coworkers will not be able to understand or troubleshoot effectively. 2. In addition to robocopy I need to...

    "Offline Database" in Microsoft RMS

    I was wondering if anyone has had any experience using the Offline Database feature in RMS. For example, if their site has gone down and the offline DB was used, when you switched back to the online DB, was the synchronization straigtforward?

    Large DBs, backups and remote sites

    Hello, We have seven remote VPN sites running Microsoft RMS, which is a Point of Sale application, on top of SQL Server. For availability reasons the SQL DB was installed on the POS machine. This is the same machine that is used to actually ring up customers. The thinking was that if all...

    RMS (or any POS) and data management

    Hello All, I work for a company with about 10 retail locations and we are using Microsoft RMS as our point of sale app. Each store typically has one or two POS terminals. The SQL DB is currently stored on the POS machine and we do a nightly full backup to our main office over a biz DSL VPN...
