Well, it came today, and after running an upgrade for 2 hrs on a dual core laptop - nightmare. My initial thought is how the bloody hell do we even start to support this? Far too many icons, messages all the time asking if <whatever> is what I want to do, and the best part, I have not been able to get my pop mail from outlook 2003 because the

Not really anywhere to put this comment within any forum, but I thought I would pass this on. (Now I know your going to say this is highly unlikely to happen...but...) As a single person in my company I have the pleasure of making up any old email address as I please. In order to track who is selling email accounts to spammers I often use an email address

Is it worth considering the installation as symtoms of a corrupt registry? i.e., take the drive out, put into another, open the system volume folder, and extract out an earlier registry etc etc ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545/ ) while its not an actual registry error, I would try it out just to see if you can go back in time to where you can

One thing I would love MS to do is have a Partner / OEM / Members private area where we can reactivate products instead of having to go through the telephone process which usually lasts 10 minutes. I often replace dud parts, for example when lightening frys a modem and motherboard. If you can't get the exact make / model you get an similiar one

They currently use BT for their adsl, and its usually a case that the whole area goes down rather than a single line, so having multiple lines wouldn't work. Not sure about the folder share idea, but I have tested the idea of using sync toy over VPN and the 'proof of concept' shows that this will work. I now need to find a VPN box to automatically

1. Up to 5 users at the remote office, so it varies, but around 150Mb / day wouldn't be unrealistic. They have docs / window card that are 10Mb each 2. Varies, but again anything up to 150Mb 3. They have hard copy documents to show prospects, but its emails / bookings via exchange that drives the business. 4. Hard to say since they can carry on

I can see where your coming from, but the client is a letting agency and at any time could need any file on the system to look at property details / pictures / availability etc. While each office generally looks the files which relate to their own area, they do get people that want a wider search to see all their options, hence the need to replicate

Vijay, Thanks for the info. I will look at this and swot up to see if it will help. My only concern is that they current hold around 35Gb of data on the server, so I would have to manually migrate the data to each workstation for offline folders, hence the idea of a member / secondary server. I am still open to other ideas or if anyone here has done

I have a client who has a main office with SBS 2000. 5 PCs at a satellite office connects to the main office using the VPN / dial up tick box at logon to connect to and logon to the network. This works very well considering the size of the shoestring budget. However recently they had a large ADSL outage at the main office which means that the remote

An OEM license must be sold "only with a fully assembled computer system." It used to be that you could get a Windows OEM with a mouse legally, but not now, all OEM licences have to installed on brand new computers, not existing ones.....unless your company wishes to replace the motherboard and then MS will consider the 'upgrade' as being a new computer
