SBS Technical (

Nick's just blogged this: http://blogs.msdn.com/nickmayhew/archive/2007/09/14/sbs-partner-training-now-with-a-date-in-canberra.aspx This follows on from my last post about the training for SBSers. If you're in Canberra please take advantage of...
I've received an email from Microsoft with the following information in it regarding the next round of technical training sessions coming up. If you're working with Small Business Server then make sure you register for these events being held...
Put this onto your radar: http://www.microsoft.com/systemcenter/essentials/default.mspx Had a meeting with some bodies here at the MS Australian partner conference just a while ago, in particular the lovely Frederique Dennison (Product Marketing Manager...
Continuing with the swing migration from the last post, all continued to go exceptionally well with the process. We kicked off an Exchange backup remotly prior to heading to site so there was less waiting around. (I use RDP to manage servers just about...
We all know that SBS cannot have a trust relationship with another domain - that's a given. But SBS sometimes doesn't seem to know this. We encountered this just now in performing a swing migration for a client. The FSMO roles had been seized...
Just got back from installing an additional NIC in an ISA2004 firewall. The ole network bindings order gotcha hit me yet again so I thought it was time to write this down to remind me - and hopefully save you from this grief. When adding a new network...
We've had a few cases where RWW won't work on machines where they've had RDP 6 installed. The resolution when this happens is to uninstall RDP 6 as it appears there is a problem between the full RDP 6 client and the RDP 5.2 ActiveX component that RWW...
There have been issues reported around the place about problems when using USB drives as backup devices on SBS2003. Simply unplugging the drive to switch over to another one so the latest backup can be taken off site yields error messages from the server...
The days between Christmas and new year were going to be the days I caught up with a heap of things in the office that had not received the attention they deserved through the rest of the year. Instead I was busy by a few clients that simply refused to...
I'm just packing my bag for the brief trip to Perth tomorrow for the first leg of the Microsoft for Partners Roadshow . Toothbrush - check Shirts - check Socks - check Podcasts - check Shaver - check “What???” I hear you ask? “Podcasts...
Attention Microsoft Partners, if you want to get your hands dirty with CRM 3.0 (for testing purposes only) check out http://microsoft.order-7.com/CRMpartnerBeta/ . You need to sign in with your MS Passport to get access to the downloads (462Mb for the...
I'm just finishing up listening to the SBS podcast prepared by Vlad Mazek & Chris Rue. Topic is Exchange 2003 SP2. The podcast is about 45 mins in length and well worth your time to download and listen to. You can find it at http://www.vladville.com...
Got a call from a client earlier today a bit concerned about the number of email messages she's apparently sent over the last 2 weeks. The server usage report her SBS2003 server kindly sends to her was indicating she'd sent some 900 email messages, which...
We had a great meeting the other week and covered a lot of ground. The PowerPoint deck will shortly be available for download on the www.sbsusers.net site (go to the meetings page). We had a discussion about some issues being experienced with Backup Exec...
Wayne blogged about the SBS2003 SP1 beta launch already but I figured I post some more details. This is the word from Microsoft... The beta has been launched in English and German only at this time. Key goals include: Maintain the OEM 15 minute install...
Here's a new one I found the other night. I was rebuilding an SBS2k3 from scratch for a community group. They have about 15 clients (XPP) on the network all with wireless NICs and a couple of access points to service them. I took them off the old domain...
This one has been bugging me for a while. Nice shiney SBS2003 Premium and the network clients can happily access the companyweb intranet site. When we introduce a W2K3 terminal server into the mix though, whenever we go to access the companyweb it prompts...
actually it's been waaaay too long, but I guess it's OK when I consider how busy the last weeks have been. I was just reading one of Chad's older posts ( http://msmvps.com/cgross/archive/2004/12/02/22108.aspx ) and it made me think of one of the swing...
OK - so Stu & I are in Sydney for the latest MS/HP SMB Partner summit. To keep costs down we're sharing a room (separate beds - c'mon now, cut it out!!). There's only 1 Internet connection in the room. I decided to bring a spare Cisco PIX 501 with...
Anyone who's spent time around the SBS community will most certainly have heard the name Susan Bradley , and if you subscribe to her blog RSS feeds , and read them, you'll have read multiple posts about the SBS wizards and why you should use them (try...
