    SBS2K8 - Can't set homepage using Group Policy

    A little history: I've recently done a swing migration of an SBS2003 domain to SBS2008, but have one very small but quite annoying issue. On the old domain the IE homepage was set via a group policy, however the site that this policy was set to has changed. I've tried setting the new homepage...

    Adding remote Server 2k8 DC to SBS2003 Domain

    So here's where I'm at; I have an SBS 2003 located in a DataCentre, have run adprep /domainprep & adprep /forestprep from a Windows Server 2008 CD. I've successfully joined the Windows Server 2008 machine to the Domain but when I try to dcpromo I get an error saying I need to run the first...

    Syncing 2 servers shares on 2 diff sites

    SBS doesn't support DFSr, but you probably wouldn't one box doing SBS/Exchange and DFSr anyway. It would work well with an SBS Box and separate DFSr file server at one end (or both virtualised on one box) and a DFSr file server at the other.

    Custom Servers

    A wise old man once told me. "If you build the client a server, it goes bang and you can't fix it quickly, your in trouble. If the customer buys an IBM/Dell/HP server, it goes bang and the manufacturer can't fix it quickly. They are in trouble".

    SBS 2011 Vs 2k8 R2 + Exchange

    From experience of trying to run SBS in all sorts of fancy ways to create highly redundant systems, and getting bitten in the backside trying, I'd highly recommend sticking with the single box environment for SBS, or two if you have SBS Premium, after all that's how its built and supposed to be...

    A little bit of advice please on server room temp

    Would have thought a large extractor fan running 24/7 with a few air vents in the server room door would be enough to keep that server running at an acceptable temp, and you may even be able to get the powers that be spend a £100 on a RAM upgrade to stop the server stopping in the afternoons ;)...

    Long Line.... even lower sync than [TW]Fox's..

    Aw they're lucky. My brothers got a connection that can barely manage 160kbps, he's getting on for 6.4km though. Look into a different router, the broadcom chipset in the DG834G v4 and DG834GT are supposed to better for long lines, as I a couple of others 2wire and a speedtouch I think. I've...

    Distribute Sharepoint?

    Just after a few ideas with this little conundrum. I look after a company that currently uses Microsoft's DFSv2 across 4 No. Windows Server 2003 R2 servers located in 2 offices, 2 servers in each office. The main problem they have is that DFS doesn't do file locking, which when two people...

    Mistakenly bought a second 85W PSU for a 13.3" MBP which has a 60W one. Is it safe to use it or should I leave it sealed and send it back? Cheers.

    CSS help with IE7 issue.

    Was asked by a friend to make a few changes to her site (www.learntosea.co.uk). One included making one image into a link to her blog, however the site has a link color set for links and visited links. So I made the new link a class and made the link color on that class white. It seems to work...
