Hi our existing old and now nearly full HP Server is being replaced by a new HP ML350 with the Smart Array E200i/128 in a RAID 5 config with 250GB drives. The plan is to use Acronis Trueimage to take a snapshot of the current MS SBS 2003 Server with 73GB SCSI Array (split into two volumes and...

I have written a Winforms app in C# on Visual Studio Express 2005 with a SQL Server 2005 database behind. If I can prove it works I will get VS 2005/8 Pro plus MSDN and lots of other useful dev apps. Most of the application deals with XML and I have dealt with that ok. But the base of the...

Hi I have a client that wants its employees to be able to replace hand written site notes with an application on a PDA. The application has to be held locally on the PDA and not run off a website. There is very little programming logic behind this application, it will collect data and send it...

The Network consists of a Windows Small Business Server 2003 Premium with 15 PCs running Windows XP Pro. After much troubleshooting on one of the PCs with many Blue Screens and no solution, we decided to replace a PC with a new one. This made sense since the user also needed a more powerful...

I have a client with a SBS 2003 Server. I inherited this server and it is setup with all the roles set. Due to Network expansion including adding a proper hardware based Firewall router I wish to turn off certain roles. Not surprisingly this looks difficult. So I need to know how the following...

My client has asked me to add a second server to the network, I am under explicit orders that it should be non microsoft, so I am thinking Linux/Unix/OS X running Samba with opendirectory and full AD compatibility (which I know works with Server 2003) the main reason is to take away some of the...

Hi I have a project with the following functional spec and the following tools. I am writing a database containing records for a number of surveys. The surveys need to be shown as a table, one row per record with a number of optional and tabbed views, by date, by location, by value etc with...

This server has had one login in two weeks as it was in a school shutdown for the holiday. The server was out of resources when I arrived, I could login but not map resources, logged into server could not launch cmd line or Task manager or event viewer all said insufficient resources. Rebooted...

I have a client who has a requirement for a VPN into his office from a remote worker. The clients LAN sits behind an existing firewall off a T1. The remote worker has VPN. I have torn many hairs out trying to get some solutions, but the solution must be cheap, i.e. under 500GBP excluding...

I have a school network where for a year the GPOs worked correctly. The GPO for the curriculum OU redirected the start menu and removed the start menu settings like run etc that I did not want users to use. The Start menu was held in sysvol on the server. All clients are XP Pro and the server...

I have W2k3 server with AD and an OU with GPO setup. The GPO redirects the Start Menu to a folder in NETLOGON share, this is different for each group of users. The environment is a school and this works but is clunky since there are a lot of different apps (over 30) and it is slow to load at...

I have an issue with the IIS service on my Windows 2003 Standard Server. The Service provides an intranet Website for the LAN. All of a sudden it stopped working. I have tried restarting the website but it states that it is in use by another process. Checking Task manager revealed no likely...

I installed a brand new Fujitsu Siemens server with Windows Server 2003 Std Edition in January 2004. Apart from one power down the server has worked seemingly faultlessly since. But I was shocked to find it had run out of memory last week and had to reboot the server. This server is acting as...

I have a friend with a PC that launches a Desktop window whenever a lower case s is typed. The OS is Windows 98 The hardware is a fujitsu/Siemens Celeron and otherwise works fine. I assume it is hotkey and certainly acts like one. I cannot find the shortcut this hotkey is related to. Does...

I have just installed a wsk3 std server, 26 XP clients and an AD schema. The environment is odd as 16 of the PCs could have as many as 39 separate users logging into them as the PCs are a shared resource. The country is UK and each PC has been setup so that all the keyboards and OS language...

Fine if the school it is installed in was in New York, damned annoying if the school is in the UK. I set up 26 PCs and was careful to ensure that no PC had any remnants of US English on them. But when testing a new user would log into a Windows XP Pro PC and get the US English settings when...

I have a client with a number of PCs all running Windows XP Pro. These PCs will mainly be for public use but need to be used by staff occassionally and for admin. I would like each PC to be unable to see any shares on the network. I created a user account which is 'limited' on each PC, but I...

I would like to input all the football fixtures for my fave Team into datebook without doing it manually. Is there a simple tool that I can use on a win98/linux platform to do this. I have been unable to find an easy solution.

The monopoly of Microsoft is challenged. Microsoft have dominated PC computing for decades. This is despite them writing operating systems that are less than stable. In an ideal world Linux would be the challenger, yet try as I might I cannot see this happening. The reasoning is twofold; the...
