				        I was recently asked by a colleague about the ease of setting up Mac’s in the SBS 2003 world. We are all aware of the pitfalls of using a .local domain name (I hope) and that some of the wizards do not work (or perhaps none of them do), but I have never actually been through the detail. One question that stumped me was around certificates on the Mac

				        I promised it a while ago, but it is finally here. Jedi Master Simon Hutson has finally documented the quick process of getting Mappoint services and MS-CRM working together. All the details including a downlaod are located in his blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/ukcrm/archive/2006/05/04/590006.aspx ttfn David

				        The team I work with come in different shapes and sizes, with some of us very technology focused and others a bit more broadly spread around solutions. To try and get a bit more of the information out about what is happening, the PTS team (Partner Technical Specialists) have started small streaming TV shows, lasting a few minutes, but giving you the

				        Joe, the quick answer is obviously to do a "net stop exifs" before runnign the upgrade, but this does not do a root cause analysis. thanks David

				        Susanne has asked me to attend the Kent Partner Group and talk on a number of subjects. The best I can do is May 23rd, so this is when I will be there. As always I expect the discussions to be lively, but we will cover for sure the up & coming technologies as well as some tried and tested areas, such as SharePoint, licensing and anything else you

				        James, I am presuming the Yahoo traffic to port 80 - i.e. http traffic. A quick check of the IIS logs will tell, but my guess is that they are either trying to index your site, or they are reading your robots.txt file to be told not to index your site.

				        Hi folks, just a quick note to say that on the 9th May I will be in Cambridge talking on a number of subjects at the group.

To book into the session, go to http://www.microsoft.com/uk/cts - it is advised as it is expected to be busy.
