    Mount CIFS partition on USB-connected drive pulled from NAS

    Thanks, everyone. Already been looking around for solutions; just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything obvious.

    Mount CIFS partition on USB-connected drive pulled from NAS

    You are correct; my mistake... Was stressed, excuses, excuses, it's an old Seagate BlackArmor 400 and some of the knowledgebase articles I was reading refer to NFS and CIFS as file systems :) Regardless, I can see the disk and the partitions, but not the filesystem.

    Mount CIFS partition on USB-connected drive pulled from NAS

    Pretty much what the title says; had a RAID-1 array in a NAS, pulled (and replaced) one of the physical drives, lost the array (much later; unrelated), trying to recover data from the pulled drive. Filesystem is CIFS, NAS doesn't recognise it, can't seem to mount it in Windows or Linux... Help...

    What is a few FREE and good DVD burning software?

    ImgBurn is your best friend; CDBurnerXP is also good; windows' built-in stuff is capable.

    Intermittent Network Connections?

    SBS 2011 domain + 2008 R2 w/SQL server, experiencing intermittent network connections throughout the building; Outlook clients briefly losing connection to Exchange server, third-party client/server software losing connections, etc... Not noticeable when web browsing. Suggestions? Thanks.

    Converting SBS 2011 installation from physical to virtual?

    Just a heads-up, Sysinternals'/Microsoft's free Disk2VHD utility has some pretty gaping holes in its functionality, and you have to pay for a software bundle just to get their SCVMM if you want to fill those holes; seems to be an issue with disk controller drivers... Luckily, Citrix's free...

    Converting SBS 2011 installation from physical to virtual?

    We recently migrated from SBS Premium 2003 to SBS 2011 Premium Add-On. When planning the migration, my manager wanted to opt for a single physical machine that would run SQL Server 2008 R2 on the same box as the domain controller; not recommended, I know, but supposedly possible. Now I'm...

    Multi-WAN Help

    We have an 1841 (only one WAN port installed) on the T1, but it's the ISPs; we don't get access to it.

    Multi-WAN Help

    We're moving our database server offsite, and we currently have a DSL line and a T1. We want the T1 to be used exclusively for database operations (likely Citrix clients from our site accessing the remote database) and e-mail (we run a local Exchange server). The DSL line is to be used for...

    Missing Documents on Windows XP Workstation (disconnected from domain)

    Again, I'm pretty confident that the auto-redirection of My Documents folders to network resources is not relevant here, as the document was saved to the desktop. Anyway, it looks like the computer was trying to perform some automatic updates and ran into bad sectors on the hard drive; that...

    Missing Documents on Windows XP Workstation (disconnected from domain)

    That's what I figured... I was just wondering if this was a somewhat common occurrence and if there was a way to recover such data. I know, but that's not the case here; she saved the document to the desktop.

    Missing Documents on Windows XP Workstation (disconnected from domain)

    Windows XP laptop on an SBS 2003 domain. User logged-in to the laptop, using her usual username and password, while disconnected from the network; error message was displayed, but user cannot recall details; user was presented with a fresh desktop (only "All Users" icons were present), opened...

    SMTP Issues?

    Yeah, that's the obvious final step if I can't get things working otherwise, but the current changes alleviate huge amounts of stress on our already overworked server. I was mostly just wondering if I was missing a step, like having the filtering service add their own DNS server IPs to some kind...
