Killing off ISA

Earlier today Susan blogged about upgrade season in her office, and getting ready to migrate from SBS 2003 to 2008. In that post , she talked about uninstalling ISA and mentioned a post that Kevin has on that subject. I thought I’d take a...

The View from the Dark Side

I have a confession . . . I took my first step moving to the dark side three months ago. You see, my beloved Treo 700w had finally died for the last time - it had lived a long, hard life of just over 2 years and had been dropped countless times. I was...

Using your SQL in SBS R2 Premium as a back-end for WSS 3.0

I have been getting this question a lot recently, so I decided I should probably blog it. When you install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 using the published document from Microsoft, Windows SharePoint Services is set up as a stand-alone server. This...

Moving to QuickBooks 2007

Anyone who has spent any time with me is familiar with my complete and utter loathing of everything Intuit. But instead of ranting about how it's an inferior, bloated, poorly-coded application that ignores both IT and accounting best practices, I'm going...

A companyweb by any other name . . .

So, one question that I get asked regularly is if you can use a different name to access your companyweb. For whatever reason, it appears SBSers have their own ideas of what URL / name they want for their individual intranets The good news is that this...

Swinging Your Companyweb

SBS, SSL Certs and Verizon's Treo 700w

So, there has been a decent amount of rumblings about the new Palm Treo 700w from Verizon Wireless (running Windows Mobile 5.0) - and it's apparent inability to sync with SBS. Sean has a good post outlining how Windows Mobile 5.0 has changed how it handles...

Glutton for Punishment . . .

I love swing migrations - I really do. Admittedly, I haven't done too many - primarily since currently our oldest SBS installation won't hit the 3 year mark until this coming April, and an overwhelming majority of our installs are new installs / first...

The compromise of SBS . . .

I'm sure that most people here are aware that there are circles in the IT community where SBS is a punchline. One of the most common assertations is that ISA on SBS is a security compromise. So I figured it was time to address this head on. Is ISA on...

SMBTN

So, it appears that everyone has survived the first SMBTN Summer Conference. I've got to take my hat off to Roger, Jim and everyone else who put in tons of effort to pull this off. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire event - and the best part is being able...

SBS SP1 + ISA 2004 = No DHCP?

Last week, we were installing SBS SP1 for one of our SBS Premium customers. Naturally, we upgraded their ISA 2000 to ISA 2004, which went very smoothly. The only problem was that after the upgrade to ISA 2004 was complete, none of their workstations could...

Sharepoint permissions on SBS

Ok - I've gotten this question enough that it is definitely time to blog it: On SBS 2003, you grant your users specifc permissions within your companyweb site (let's say with Reader level access) - but you find that those users can still do anything they...
