  • Re: SBS 2003 Migration to new hardware

    I have now tried Jeffs method for moving SBS to new hardware and I am happy to report that it works. I can see potential issues depending on the hardware, but in my tes case it worked really well. Great news. This now leads me on to a further licencing question..... I have a customer who currently has SBS installed on thier server from an Action pack

  • Tape Compression in the SBS Backup Wizard

    Anyone know how to turn on compression with a capable Tape drive having used the SBS Backup wizard? Seems to be straightforward with regular "backup" but not with the Wizard version. Any ideas?

  • Re: Unwell SBS Server :(

    Strange indeed! I used to have a PC that used to do something similar a couple of years ago in XP. Turned out to be a crappy NIC. I would check to see if there are any updated drivers or consider using a new high quality NIC. Paul

  • Re: Exchange 2003 and Multiple Domains.

    Hello Simon, I am not exactly sure why you are having this problem is but I have some comments and advice which may help. First of all my experience of using the pop3 connector is very little(I played with it once for about 20 minutes). I don't know what the official word is but as far as I can see Exchange has always been designed to be an SMTP server

  • Re: License Purchasing

    David, Thank you for looking into it for me. I spoke to softcat and another supplier and finally I have a quote worked out based on this SKU. It really is an amazing value package for systems which are out of the reach of SBS. The pricing of this product enabled me to quote well under the competition and the 3 Windows server licences give you a bit

  • Re: Slow system & a dodgy idea!

    The system is already on a UPS so not too much of a worry. The chances of disk corruption are no higher now than there were before. Write caching was enabled beforehand, but the performance was bad. Though obviously the PSU in the server could go pop and a UPS wouldn't make any difference at all.

    Horrah! Moved to the standard IDE controller tonight and used Windows mirroring. All went without a hitch and performance has increased by a HUGE amount. Thanks for the advice chaps. Paul
