[nlug] Laptop Issue
I'm having issues with my laptop. My son decided to take it down the stairs for some reason and dropped it about a month ago. It has worked fine until the past week... Now it is locking up, and in Windows gives blue screens (something about memory corruption detected). Keeping it on a wooden lap-desk seems to help (as opposed to my legs or the bed). One place seems warmer than normal, but I do hear the (a?) fan running. If I put a little bit of pressure on one corner near the HD, or move it too much, it will cause a crash...? So I'm thinking it is something hardware related. Possibly heat related problems, though it happened once after just a few minutes of use. I've reseated the memory. I've checked the HD for errors (nothing reported), and seen that the HD is securely attached. So I'm about out of normal user serviceable places to check. Is there a place/someone you can recommend between the Gallatin, Hendersonville, and from Rivergate to downtown Nashville area (or not too far from this area) that would look at it, is competent, trustworthy, won't cost more than it's worth, and could get it back to me in a reasonable time frame? I know that's a tall order these days. Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group. To post to this group, send email to nlug-t...@googlegroups.com.

Re: [nlug] Google Apps
There are several different versions, but the free version includes most of the features (except the ability to sync with LDAP and do more fancy stuff). It is limited to 25 users. We use the Education version (which is also available for non-profits) and it is completely free and includes all functionality of the Premier version. There is a Team version that is kind of a hybrid and I think it is free, but you can't use it for a whole domain. Lastly, there is the Premier version which is $50 per user/year, which isn't really very bad, when you consider what you're getting. The Premier version has a max mailbox size of 25 GB/user, compared to 7.25 GB/user for the other versions.

Re: [nlug] Google Apps
You're exactly right. You can sign up with Google Apps and start getting stuff set up there, but don't change your MX records, yet. Mail will still flow to the old server. You can set up a domain alias at Google Apps and modify your DNS settings to point mail for that domain alias at Google Apps. For example, we set up a domain alias of pilot.watkins.edu and we created DNS records that point any incoming email that is destined for an @ pilot.watkins.edu email address to go to Google. Since this is an alias, people's actual email address is still @watkins.edu. Next, we set up forwarding on each individual account at Watkins to forward all email to that person's @pilot.watkins.edu email address (leaving an original on their watkins.edu account, just in case.) This means that when someone sends an email to example-u...@watkins.edu, that message actually goes to our existing on-premise email server. When it gets there, a copy gets forwarded to example-u...@pilot.watkins.edu, which delievers it to that users Google Mail account. That user is now using their Google Mail account to both send and receive email and everything works great. At some point (once all users are migrated over), we will change the DNS records for the main @watkins.edu domain and all email will start flowing directly to Google, not going through our email server any more. DNS records take a while to propogate, of course, but because we have it configured the way we do, if some mail goes to the old system, even after the switchover, that mail will still get forwarded to the appropriate place. A key of course, is migrating all the existing mail. I'm not sure if the free version of Google Apps includes the IMAP import tool or not. That's what we're using for most migrations. It just connects to our existing server over secure IMAP and brings over all the mail. Alternatively, there is a desktop app you can install that just uploads your mail from your system up to Google Mail. There are probably a handful of other ways to do migration as well, but those are the two most popular and the one's we're using.

Re: [nlug] Google Apps
Curt Lundgren and I are in the process of migrating everyone at Watkins to Google Apps. We love it. It took a whe to figure everything out but we have been doing a phased migration for the past couple weeks without any problems. I can give you more specific information and advice if you like, including instructions on doing a phased deployment that will keep you from losing any email.

I use Google Apps for several domains and have migrated mail from other providers to Google Apps. With the paid version of Google Apps, you can do IMAP mail migration from within the Google Apps admin interface. I've also done mail migration using IMAP clients. The easiest way to not lose mail is to not cancel your current mail hosting until after the MX records have had a chance to propogate and you've migrated any additional mail that may have come into the old mail server. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
