    Cross Forest Address Book

    Hello, We recently merged with another company and are operating as two separate forests with forest trusts between the 2. Is there a way to enable access to each other's address books without using Microsoft Identity Integration Server? It doesn't seem that way, but thought I would check...

    AD Forest Trust

    Hello [H] Members, I'm fairly sure I know the answer already but want a second opinion. If we have say, DomainA and DomainB (both Server 2003) and establish a forest trust between them, does the AD info/schema from A replicate to B and vice versa? My impression/thought is that they don't...

    Application Permissions/Power Users

    Hopefully someone can shed some light on this for me... I have an older application that once installed, will run fine under an admin account and a power user account, but not a restricted user. I've given full control of the applications directory to the authenticated users group along with...

    Mass Delete Email from Exchange 2003

    We have our spam filter set to forward any blocked mail to a "blocked" account that is only accesible by going through the system admin, which happens to be me. Now the question is: Is there a way to mass delete emails from Exchange without having to worry about the ~4,000 item limit in...

    Help w/Firewall Log

    Hopefully someone can make a little more sense of this than I can. We have a Watchguard Firebox at our location and have a usergroup in AD that it authenticates VPN connections against. The problem is coming from one location specifically, in that I can sign in under the account from my home and...

    Traffic logging for analyzing and reporting

    If you are able to get PERL set up on your machine and capture traffic into a binary file, you can use ChaosReader to analyze the traffic. Its a PERL script that runs against the binary file and spits everything out into a nice pretty package (HTML) with stats and all. If you can't find it...

    Try, catch, finally in .NET

    Sorry, lets try this again...but I understand what you're saying. I'm basically asking is it neccessary to have a try/catch block in the main routine or is it preferable to use a try/catch (if needed) in each subroutine/function. Or in otherwords, do you use try/catch in the main routine...

    Try, catch, finally in .NET

    Hello all, Just curious as to what is "best practice" and it may be a dumb question, but I'm not sure of the right answer. Do you use a try, catch, finally block for each function/sub and also one in the main routine, or just stick to one in each function. For example, which is better...

    C# Question

    Well, I think I answered my own question. Its from a recovery program for MS Access passwords. I see now that all of the hex values translate into something in the ASCII table or extended ASCII, but do you have any idea why these certain values would be in the this array? This is the "key" array...

    e-mail spam blocker filter for server?

    GFI Mail Essentials Work great for our company. We've been using it for a bit over a year now and its blocking mostly everything it should.

    Network backup strategy

    We just recently started using SynchToy which is a freebie from Microsoft that seems to be basically a highly glorified XCOPY, but it works fairly well. Its a manual process though, that's the drawback to it, but it works great. Let me know if you need/want the link.

    Shutdown vs. Reboot in Windows

    Active Directory Authentication

    Actually, I ended up stealing the initials field from the general account info in AD. We don't use it at all internally, so I just made it one long string with their initials and security level. It might not be the prettiest, but it works. Thanks for the input however.

    SQL: Simple way of showing contents of one column only if another is empty

    What language are you using to display the results or what type of display are you using ? I can't think of a way to do it in SQL at the moment, but I'm sure writing a function to check the values and display them wouldn't be hard.

    T-SQL Conversion from Null to Empty String

The developers for some unknown reason pull back everything, meaning the record would display something like this...
