I think its safe to say that DNS is part of the fabric of the internet. I don't remember how many times I had (or helped someone with) issues with public DNS, but I can assure you that it has been a lot . DNS controls everything about your domain, from...
If you are running SBS you must know by now that you need to type http://something.yourdomain.com/exchange or /remote to access OWA or RWW from the internet. One issue that I often encounter is that users forget those URLs are (specially if the are technologically...
Although, SBS2k3 SP1 is not quite out yet (very soon!)… you might be interested in knowing what changes it brings to the table beforehand. I suggest you check out this document: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=b5846a14-f306...
I'm pleased to announce that we have 2 great presentations in May 19 as part of SBS Migration east coast tour. SBSers Jeff Middleton and Anne Stanton are going to be on Boston , NYC and DC (on May 17, 18 and 19 respectively) presenting the technical and...
Cris Hanna (a fellow SBS MVP and one of the SBS grandfathers) has started a new Usergroup in the St. Loius area. As I have mentioned before I truly love usergroups, it is great to be able to talk geek and share “war” stories. Kudos to Cris...
A couple of people in the past have asked how to prevent users from logging more than 1 time (or x number of times) on different devices across the network. I stumbled accross this tool which seems like it does exactly that better than the old CConnect...
Today I was cleaning up the stack of magazines that I have in my desk and came across an article on how to add a Recycle Bin to Windows Sharepoint Services (WSS). MSDN Magazine - February 2005 - Page 62 http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/05/02/RecycleBinforWSS...
Last year I was itching for a new phone. My contract was up, my previous phone was pretty old and I wanted to be more “connected”. I did a lot of research on which phone I should get using two great sites: www.phonescoop.com and www.howardforums...
Sorry this has nothing to do with SBS, but I really need to get it out of my chest. As I mentioned in my last blog article I went to Toronto for the local SMB Nation mini summit. It was sooo cool to finally meet in person many of my MVP friends and community...
Most of you may already know that there is an SMB Nation Summit on Toronto on Jan 11 (read more about it on Susan's blog ). I'm happy to say that I will be attending the event and I hope that you will too (I'm cutting 2 days off my vacations and flying...
I'm on some sort of vacation since last week at home in Puerto Rico... I say “some sort” because I'm actually upgrading my last SBS2k box to 2k3 and using the old box as a terminal server. While I was preparing the migration the client asked...
If you have a remote office or a branch it might be a good idea to have those users connected to your primary office permanently. You could even have an additional domain controller on the remote site or even make the users login via a Terminal Server...
First of all, I would like to apologize for lack of blog posts recently, things are a little hectic around here and I also have a big (relative terms) SBS rollout in December. Although, I'm not a Mac person myself many SBSers in the newsgroups have asked...
Since XP SP2 was released (and even before that) I have been hearing a lot of people complaining about implementing it. That's why I was pleased to hear that SP2 adoption was much larger in SMBs than in big enterprises , this was a welcomed surprise....
I don't know how this slipped under my radar, but I just noticed that Jeff's swing migration site is now live: www.sbsmigration.com If you don't know what a Swing Migration is, I encourage you to read more about it. If you are an SMB consultant the swing...
Last week was hectic and I didn't have much time to post. However, even when this happened a week ago I must still say it: User Groups are awesome (as if you didn't know that already). Long story short, a while ago I was really bummed that there were...
Did you know that today is the 3rd anniversary of Windows XP? It was officially launched on October 25, 2001. Time flies when you are having fun? Right? J When XP was released originally I thought it was great.... Two service packs later is even better...
For those who don’t know me, my name is Javier Gomez and I’m an SBS MVP . A geek by definition... I love electronic gadgets, technology, computers and most sci-fi series/movies (my favorite is Stargate SG-1 ). I was born in the beautiful island...
