When end-users are trying to send an invoice from our accounting software (Microsoft Nav) we are getting an error stating: MAPI is not working properly. One way to get MAPI working properly is to install Microsoft Exchange. All end users have Outlook 2003 installed and working properly. I am...

What are some good practice tests - besides transcender - that are worth purchasing. Is Boson as good as transcender? Or are there some other ones that are just as good as transcender without the enormous price tag? Thanks! Pinkman - MCSE 4, MCP 2K, CCNA, CCA

I have recently obtained my MCP status for Windows 2000. However, I also have a MCSE on the 4.0 track. Although the MCSE 4.0 is not yet retired and the MCP for Windows 2000 does not directly corelated to my previouse MCSE 4.0 cert - what the heck do I put for my certification initials after my...

I still think that the most valuble cert available to this day is Cisco's CCNP. It is the second level Cisco Cert. The first level is CCNA (which is very valuable also) but more and more people are obtaining the Cisco base cert. The Cisco CCNP cert will let the employer know that you have...

I have had similar problems over slow telephone lines also. I believe that the problem lies with in the telephone system itself. Loss of packets when trying to connect to Citrix via the internet would cause this problem. For instance, when I am testing in the office through a telephone line...

There are a couple of reasons why you should not install Exchange on your Citrix server. Especially if you have a lot of users. First, Citrix recommends that you restart your server once a day. If your Exchange server is also on this box - this means you have to restart your exchange server...
