    Restoring a deleted Mailbox

    I would build a DC from scratch and join Exchange 5.5 server to it. Create the user you are going to restore. Give permissions to exchange 5.5 to start the Directory and Private store. After this is done, install outlook onto the DC and create the profile for user.

    user gets new laptop, laptop hasn't been seen in two months

    The user has departed from the company." What makes this story even better is if she was terminated for being a pain to her boss during her tenure. In my experience I find users who were not cooperative with IT staffs usually didn't leave happy with best wishes for their future endeavors.

    Requiring techs to report observed violations

    I wish my company has this type of policy on ethical violation or a violation of the rules that govern the operation of company computer systems. Too bad nobody cares enough to listens here.

    Losing connection to *.pst file

    Leaving all email on the Exchange server is not feasible when your users prefer to save every single email and for every single day that they work for the company. They tend not to delete emails at all. Multiply that by 300 users and I can attest the uselessness of storing on the Exchange...

    What makes a good OS?

    CajunCenturion: You can strip Themes down to just bare naked OS. But there has to be a "default" Theme to get everyone started don't you agree? If you want to make that as an option during installation, that's fine too. On another note, with the new development of web designs such as Google...

    What makes a good OS?

    A great OS is one that you can control, be it windows, linux or Mac(unix). I'm tired of people claiming MAC OS is better than windows and linux.. "I now have four" MACs.. so what you have 4 Macs.. are you better off now because you can do things that windows and linux can't do? The way I see...

    is IT really going to be Vista?

    At what point do our companies reach a point where the cost of new OS's, new Visual Studios, and rewrites of applications hits a point of diminishing returns?" Good question! I believe that point has past since Win98SE. But they managed to slip in WinME, Win2K, WinXP. Here comes Vista.. and...

    Google Apps for Your Domain

    Alex, I'm an administrator by trade. I don't own stocks of either. Technology companies and what they provide are my interest. I'm merely speculating the sheer force of Google's influence in the technical world. Personally I embrace competition. In this case, I suspect Microsoft will counter...

    problem #1: Your Windows 2000 needs to be part of the domain. Under IIS on the Exchange virtual folder, make sure your domain name is listed under Basic Authentication. problem #2: check your company firewall for port 80.

    Salaried employees + excessive hours

    If this is ongoing, get out fast. It smells like a slave driver company.

    Google Apps for Your Domain

    Guys, all your concerns will be taken care of by the almighty Google enterprise. Give it time. 1) Google can offer a locally installed spreadsheet/word app based on java. 2) You want redundancy? Google wil ALWAYS be up. Your own network dies before Google is ever offline. 3) Security? They...
