Thanks Tribble! Recovering from a hangover but it was so worth it!

Tech-ed? I went to the MS Essential Intelligence session on the 13th.

When was the tech-ed? Can't believe I missed it

I have a dedi server hosted in Germany. I've had nothing but excellent service from Hetzner. To answer some of your questions: Is Hetzner a good choice, or have I been very lucky with service so far? It's great. Do any outstanding domain fees need to be settled first between the client and the curre...

Didn't know about the RDP, guess most home users wouldn't take advantage of it, but c'mon m$

You should be able to make use of the "Windows Anytime Upgrade" This can be found in your start menu. So far I have been successful in upgrading from Home Starter and Home Premium to Pro without any hassles. Any particular reason you want to go pro though? Only big advantage IMO is the abi...

Please look here dude!

That's like the cost price!? Good deal.

Nope, I have often seen we get updates from AU.

I think we will just start seeing better 'hybrid' technology be created for desktop users. Having the SSD infront of the HDD acting as a cache of sorts.

Hey

Is it Server standard or SBS? You can set a GPO to not synchronise specific files/folders. I just can't remember off hand where it is. I can rdp into one of my clients later tonight and get the exact details, will only be able to do it tonight though.

How you finding CT dude?

The setup will be for our offices. We'll need 5 phones, 2x for accounts and 2x for technical and 1x for the laanie.

We have a 512k ADSL line and unfortuantely can't go upto 4mb as the copper is rubbish.

Nuke, YGPM.

Excellent thanks Nuke, and the phones themselves. Could I get them from you or are there specific dealers you could recommend?

What hardware is required for Asterisk ? I looked into all this about two years ago but never got around to it. Do you have to go the ISDN route? Where can one get the required hardware?

If you can offer a quick rundown on the requirements I would gladly appreciate it.

This could be fun, what's the head count thus far? If it's on the 24th it could be pretty sweet. Day after my bday

Who's in for Burn Halloween party afterwards?

*edit* What are the costs involved? If anyone from Pinetown needs a ride let me know...

Thanks! I'll be sure to use it next month some time.

I signed up just before 5 and sent my ID at 5:30. Hopefully will get activated soon.

Will read through it now just to be sure.

Hi guys Firstly which is the recommenced way to connect to a remote SBS2008 server, PPTP or IPSec? This is the problem I'm trying to deal with: Man and Wife want to connect to mapped drives/exchange on SBS2008 server sitting at the office. Both home and office are on ADSL. I have setup IPSec network...

Hi guys

Was wondering if someone in the Pinetown/Durban area has Ubuntu Server Edition ISO? Preferably Pinetown and I'm willing to collect?

It will. Run the windows CD, run the 1st repair option and... fixmbr.

Im studying my A+ atm Why? This course has not been relevant since the late 90's. It's fine for a beginner straight out of matric, but if you have been in IT for more than a year this course is beneath you. A+ is still a prerequisite for most hardware/OS orientated IT qualifications. Old as it is, ...

Has anyone else tried ClarkConnect yet? I've been using it for a month now and is working exceptionally well.
