    What is eating my CALs?

    What is eating my CALs? On this particular server- there are 24 machines (some of which aren't turned on...) I have 3 clients connected in RAS. But Licensing is reporting 36 licenses used... How can I view what is eating up my CAL? They are all configured as per-user.

    NOD32 Slipped!

    Well... after saying they haven't missed anything "in the wild" since 1998... I must say I found that NOD32 slipped today. The past week I had been noticing Newegg was slow. Today it finally drove me nuts enough to figure out what the issue is (it is ONLY Newegg). Turns out there was a BHO...

    Show 3 seperate apps on 3 seperate screens

    I know I could probably do this by attaching 3 screens (I say screens- but these will be big projectors) and dragging them into the respective monitor... But that is rather a pain (and require you looking right at the screens to configure correctly). So is there any app that will let me run 3...

    First Ubuntu Issue

    Well- all I had tried to do (other than update it) is run ATI's graphics driver for my vid card (they had one on their website- surprisingly). Ran it from the terminal and it seemed to go OK- although it didn't pop up a GUI like their documentation said it would (I don't know WHAT it did)...

    Space needed for Ubtunu

    Right now I run Vista. I'd like to dual-boot Ubuntu 7.10 to see what it is like when it is out (although I have the RC ISO on hand right now...). My main thing- How much space will it need? Just don't know how much to partition. It will not be my main OS, just something to boot into, try a...

    Track Computer Usage

    Pretty much an easy task. Just want to deploy this on a domain. Something that will track usage, idle activity. I want to be able to view reports of total usage- and hopefully be able to break it down by day, week, etc. Prefer something lightweight, free, something they can't shut...

    Single PC In Domain Not Running Logon Scripts

    Basically under the "Logon" and "Logoff" sections in group policy, I have a little command that just dumps some info about the logon into a file- for EVERYONE in the domain. It is under "User Settings" and is based on Logon/Logoff activity. That said, I have a particular COMPUTER that won't...

    Logging Logons/Logoffs Script

    Found this site online: http://msmvps.com/blogs/kwsupport/archive/2005/02/24/36942.aspx Did everything it said. I have my two files (below) setup on the server. Yet when I log on/log off the domain it is not creating the logfiles. Ran gpupdate /force from both the server and the client...

    Track/Report PC Activity?

    Basically looking for something that will track PC activity. IE- when someone logs on, logs off, idle, etc. Need to see how much computer usage (hours) is going on. This would go into a domain environment, if that helps any (central management preferred). Thanks!

    Mobile Telnet?

    Anyone know of a good one? Tried Pocket Putty, but it wrapped the lines... I can deal with it, but I'd prefer something to at least have the option to scroll around with. It also took VERY long to open up the session. Edit- this is for an AS/400... so if availible (since general telnet...

    Server Licensing Question

    I have licenses in "per user" mode. Each local user is obviously treated regularly. They signon to the domain- use email, etc. Remote users are using Outlook with RPC over HTTP, as well as a VPN (using Routing and Remote Access- just client VPNs). Now... I ran into licensing issues. I...

    To buy 360 or not?

    Just struggling with whether or not to get it. Are there any "must haves" that I need to have aside from the console package itself (I would probably get the premium and have wireless controllers).... What I'm thinking is things like (Wii as an example) componet cables, larger hard drive...

    32 Bit IE / Outlook 2007 Not Working, Vista 64

    64 Bit IE works great. 32 bit IE acts like it is not connected. All of Vista's "self-diagnose" tools say it is connected (and it IS- I am writing this post with it!). However both my Outlook and IE 32 bit don't see I have any connectivity. Any ideas? I've tried reboots, repairs on the...

    MovieMaker Tutorial (or alternate software?)

    Basically just need to make a movie that has photos/video clips and music overlay. MovieMaker seems to be too "basic"- or maybe I don't know how to work it. I would basically like to be able to drag my text to where I want it to appear on that particular clip or photo, and tell it what...

    Users' Not Authenticating (Or Their PCs??)

    Basically we have some PCs that are not authenticating or something- this happened out of the blue. Anything that is associated with the server does not work. Printers, Home Folder mappings, Exchange email, etc. Even Outlook Web Access won't work (trying from ANY machine with this person's...

    Good, AIO Printer Support for Vista?

    Basically looking for a great AIO printer that works under Vista. Have a Dell AIO 920, it's a royal POS that I can only get print (and at that- it only works about 20% of the time). The problem seems widespread- Dell is just too lazy to come out with any decent software to run it (The...

    SharePoint Errors- Server 2003

    Reading a comment about Event Viewer errors reminded me about this... Posting on several websites- I was unable to get any help resolving why my Internal website won't work. Having so many things depend on SharePoint- I really don't want to reinstall it just for the sake of companyweb. I...

    Improvements in Next Windows Version?

    Windows 7... what needs to change? A biggie for me is the Registry. Although tweaking so many things that we can tweak right now- what would be a viable alternative while eliminating the pitfalls the registry currently has? There are other things than the Registry, but that was the first...

    Burning AVI to DVD?

    I have Nero Vision... From everything I see online- it should be as easy as adding an AVI file to it and hitting burn. It works for the most part- however (I have encountered this in the past as well- just don't burn enough to remember how/IF I got around it) I get a blurry line in either/or...

    Spam Server Question

    What kind of hardware server is required for something like Untangle? I just don't see how sending the whole batch of emails through a server like that could handle it on a pidly little server- but I could be wrong? Also, does something like Untangle work with Exchange (IE, I can set it up...

    Outlook Over Internet?

    Alright, I ran the connection wizard in SBS 2003 to allow Outlook via Internet. Now I need to know how to set it up. Is there anymore configuration required on the server before hooking Outlook up to it? Any special ports it uses- or does it use the same that RWW and OWA use? It's either...

    Wireless Network: 1/2 mile wide?

    I'm basically looking to connect a few buildings together- the furthest of which is 1/2 mile away from where I am looking to put the central access point. I'll have a T-1 connection coming in- plenty of bandwidth. So ideally I want a wireless solution that can deliver good throughput to all...

    XP... Automatically Log Off and Log On user?

    Long story- but a user has to keep his Outlook open for his PDA to get mail (Because of Virus scanning in Exchange). XP times out... So the solution right now is to every day log off and log back on to re-authenticate to the server. Either I need to fix it to where it does not time out (Ive...

    "The network path was not found."

    If I do a Start- Run- \\server, I get the following message: I've tried running net use to cache the credentials, but it apparently does not keep those credentials cached. It seems to be timing the user out. Logging off each day is not an option either (let's just leave it at that, and say...

    Mirroring a server (For automatic failover protection)?

    So SBS cannot be clustered. So- what can I do to minimize downtime? I have secondary (and third) DNS servers in all client records pointed out to the Internet, so Internet downtime isn't much of an issue. I have RAID5 with a hot spare- so hard drive failure isn't much of an issue to me...

    Dual (and Triple) Monitors?

    I've heard mixed inputs on this, just to clarify... For dual monitors- do you need a dual-output video card, or will two single-output video cards do the job? For triple monitors- same question I guess, but does XP support 3 monitors?

    Laptop Tracking Software?

    Missing Windows Feature

    Is it just me, or has anyone else around here wished that you could drag open window buttons in the taskbar around to re-arrange them? Any tweaks to do that? I wouldn't think it would be too hard a thing to do- but I would love having the ability!

    Email Notification if Server is Unreachable for Whatever Reason?

    Not really a "problem", but I got to thinking... Sure- I can get email notifications on my phone if a UPS has lost power, or if the server is under heavy loads and whatnot- but how do I tell when the server is unreachable- for ANY reason? Say the UPS fails, the NIC fails, or any other reason...

    DS- Cheap Places to Buy and Opinions on it?

    I was thinking the DS would be pretty slick for keeping in my pocket, whipping out when I get bored, and more importantly- checking wireless networks without requiring a full blown laptop. Cheap places to get it at? As well as opinions on it?

    Do you use 64 or 32 bit Vista? A poll.

    If you have a choice to use 64 bit or 32 bit Vista and have tried 64 bit, this thread is for for you. If you either bought 64 bit Vista outright, or upgraded from a 32 bit version, I'd like your response. If you use 32 bit or 64 bit on a work machine you really have no choice of what OS...

    Spam Filter for Exchange Server (Recommendations)

    A few of our people have ongoing problems with spam. I would really just like to install spam filtering at the server level- so it never reaches their inboxes. NOD32 is great anti-virus, now what is great anti-spam?

    WTB: GSM Cell Phone (Under $100)

    Doesn't particularly have to be anything fancy. SLVRs seem OK to me as well as RAZRs, but just the basics works. Needs to be fairly durable construction as well as NEW. Just let me know what you have! Thanks.
