    Network problem with Sabertooth Z77...

    I had a similar problem with trying to Remote Desktop to my computer. I fixed it by uninstalling the Network iControl and updating to Intel PROSet Version 17.0 http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=18713&keyword=Intel+PROSet+17&DownloadType=Drivers&lang=eng

    It's F10, F11, or F12 on this to pick your boot device. USB DVD's are recognized. This is a great little unit.

    What are yall using for enterprise anti-virus?

    For the client installation I've seen three ways to push out the client. The first and IMO the best is WSUS. The second is by a login script, but that sucks. The third is through a third party tool, http://fcscompete.codeplex.com/ WSUS works so damn well, why wouldn't you use it? As for...

    What are yall using for enterprise anti-virus?

    Another happy and satisfied Forefront user here. I deployed on one server, (VM) with 1 vCPU and 4GB's of RAM and a local SQL 2005 Standard installation. This setup should be good for up to 3k clients before I think about performance issues. WSUS is on a seperate server. The client...

    Problem with WHS install

    It does put all the space under 1 drive letter. DO NOT DIRECTLY PLACE FILES USING WINDOWS EXPLORER! Always place files by accessing your WHS via a UNC path. \\server\place files here. WHS will put the files on the correct drive.

    Recommend me a spam filter

    IIRC Postini was a little more expensive than Microsoft's solution. I think that is the case because Microsoft needs to prove that theirs works the same/better before they can charge the same.

    Recommend me a spam filter

    Postini http://www.postini.com/ or Microsoft Hosted Filtering http://www.microsoft.com/online/exchange-hosted-services/filtering.mspx Both are very highly rated. Postini has been doing this longer than MSFT.

    Installing NSClient++ on server 2003???????

    Do you really need the systray option? I run it without because it really isn't needed. But to install the systray, if I remember correctly, you can't have the nsclient service running when you run that command. After playing around with the commands there might be a bug in the latest...

    Good laptop between 500.00 & 1000.00

    Good laptop between 500.00 & 1000.00

    One thing you should know about the Everex model is that the built-in wireless card and the video card share the same IRQ. What this means is that if you try to game and use the wireless at the same time, your computer could potentially lock up. To stop your OS from locking, while you are using...

    vista business networked in on a windows server 2003 box

    Peachtree, even in compatibility mode, will be a bitch to run. Even the version that was "vista compatible" had to run with UAC turned off. I would not recommend running Peachtree on Vista, unless you have a newer version of Peach.

    Windows XP Home: Services not starting

    I once worked on an HP laptop with a bad wireless card. It caused all sorts of services to stop after Windows was loaded. After I disabled the card Windows worked correctly. Try disabling hardware and see if that fixes anything.

    How to rewire a phone jack for DSL...

    If Qwest provisions your stand alone DSL line, to the correct pair of wires that run to your house, then you will not have to do anything. You won't even need the DSL filters because you are not plugging anything else into the phone jacks.

    My store.exe uses over 600mb of ram. Should I worry?

    On machines with 1GB of ram it will still sometimes use up to 500MB. It is completely normal. I would change the threshold of that alert to something much larger than its default, such as 1.5GB of memory.
