June 2006 - The Random Musings of an IT Consultant.......

  • Next London SME IT Pros Group - Thursday June 8th

    The next meeting of the London Small Business IT Pro Group will take place on Thursday 8th June. Our guest this month is Ian Charles from Bulldog Terrier Systems who offer a hosted Kaseya solution. Ian will be talking about his company's offering. Doug Wilson from Hound Dog was also booked, but because I messed up the dates (sigh) he'll be coming later in the year (probably to our September meeting)..... If you are thinking of offering your clients Managed Service then come along and see how this offering will help you with the software side of that service. But as Amy Luby says, there's a lot more to Managed Service than installing a monitoring app! The meeting will be start at 5:30pm Thursday 8th June at Microsoft House, 10 Great Pulteney Street, London, W1F 9NB. Drinks (courtesy of Microsoft) and pizza (courtesy of our speaker) will be served and the meeting will finish around 8:30pm in time for those who travel any distance to get away and for the locals to retire to the pub :-) If you could let me know you...
  • Sophos Puremessage and ActiveSync

    If you are using Sophos Puremessage and are having problems getting Server-side ActiveSync to work with either your PPC or your Windows Mobile 5 (WM5) device then you might need to do the following: In the Puremessage console go to Jobs / Exchange Information Store / Databases tab and check Public Store Background Scanning and Private Store Background Scanning. Click the Apply button at the bottom of the console. I've never been able to get Server-side ActiveSync working since I bought my iPaq a year or so ago, but haven't had time to work out why not. A chance comment by someone in the UKSBSG Yahoo! group put me onto it. Thanks to James and Alexandre! Since I found this out I've discovered there's a Sophos KB article about it - www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/3186.html . It's great when you know what to look for isn't it
