Sorry, but to call it the Gibson you have to have the big weirdly lit keyboard and program the pc to make all the right noises as per the film!

We only have 100 users here, approximately 25% are in cache mode due to remote offices, the rest are not. Although we currently have a fairly decent box running exchange so it doesnt seem to struggle, our file server seems to have a lot more issues, but that is a story for another day!!!

Blitz - We are using our seperate SQL server rather than running kvs on the exchange boxes themselves, just currently have only 300GB of space on our sql box, enough to archive our entire mailbox setup twice over, but still something we need to monitor a bit! And yeah, we know the...

Hehe, they are being paid enough to, they implimented our current 2003 system so if they made a mistake, it will be them paying for another 2008 server.... :-D Perk of having an agreed cost for a complete solution, if it doesnt work, it isnt our problem. After this I have a VPN project...

Thanks for that Captain C..... The tip about CCR is particularly important as although we are not using that, i think we will be using SCR (we have two servers but no SAN to host the database and didnt want the single point of failure having the databases on the SAN would have caused... this is...

The 20GB mailboxes generally are not in cache mode, but we also have a lot of public folders with remote offices in cache mode and their localaly stored mailbox is extending beyond 20-30GB as they are caching public folders also! We have also had to up the limit on the local stored mailbox as...

Hmmm, No Exchange admins out there???

Hello all Exchange 2007 admins. I have searched all over the net looking for a kind of best practise guide but found nothing so thought I would ask here. We are upgrading to Exchange 2007 Enterprise from 2003 next week and are looking at redesigning the Mailbox Store setup. Currently we...

Tell me about it. I have never seen a server get so confused about which user has the file open as this one does... of course I have opted to take the Sys Admins way out..... Replace the server. (in my defence we have maxed out the capacity and so an upgrade was planned anyway). If anyone at...

Now I hadnt seen this problem until I started here... If a file is owned by userA, userB has the file open... when userA attempts to open the file it shows that userA (the owner) has the file open not userB who does... Any Ideas? I have checked the open files window and it shows the user has...

I hope someone can help as I am struggling to find solutions for this.... At work we are running a 2k3 R2 file server and 90% XP clients with some vista. We are noticing two problems as below which I am sure are linked... Problem One: When opening a word/excel etc document from the shared...

I imagine a bit of vbscript could do it, detect that wired link was unplugged and then enable the wireless, disabling it if the wired link connects again but i dont know of any other way, although someone else may have a proper way of doing it

Hello All I hope someone has a suggestion here.... We have RDP enabled at work, with a vpn link through the firewall. Something has gone wrong and sat at home i cant link in although i know the servers are up (the phone hasnt rung). Now to work this out i need to take my laptop with a 3g card...

Now, I could be wrong on this one, but the 64bit versions of windows address the memory differently and as such all hardware has to do the same (i have 64bit xp and it is a nightmare for drivers even now). What may be a minor revision in numbers could have a completely different chip or...

Thanks for the advice.... I am going to try and RMA the 4GB of memory back to the company and wait till that comes back. I have also removed the audigy2 card and gone to onboard audio. If it works smoothly i will get a xfi pcie card to replace it as i have never been a fan of the onboard...
