Exchange 2003 database size limit
Greetings! It is my understanding on Exchange 2003 Standard there is a 75 GB database size limit. I also understand there are two files that comprise the store; STM file for non-MAPI data and EDB for MAPI data. My question is which file counts against the 75 GB limit? Both?

DFS domain Name issues
HIJACK! I'm only jumping in because the problem we have is similar to John's problem. There are enough differences I did not reply with a something similar seen Now that your bring it up... We have a network which underwent a consolidation project. That is, old network in Illinois and old network in New York. Create new network, then move both networks into the new one. The connection is through a private WAN; paired T1 lines with Juniper J2320 service routers at each end. Network is Windows2003 SP2 native Active Directory, and all workstations are WinXP Pro SP3. (Same issue on the few Win 7 machines we have here as well.) I (Illinois) had been getting to the departmental share (DFS) by the non-DFS UNC/FQDN (not knowing any better), that is: \\filer.aspca.local\share\IT\Dept I heard I help desk agent say he was denied permissions to the department folder. Turns out he was doing it correctly by using the DFS name: \\aspca.local\NYC\share\IT\Dept When I tried it using the DFS name, I too got the same Access is denied message John (and our help desk agent) gets. I had the help desk agent use the non-DFS path, and he got in. Word is, all NYC folks have no problem at all accessing shares on the NYC filer via the DFS path. Those in IL get denied unless they use the non-DFS path. Any clues (WAN router? DFS settings? Wearing brown socks?) would be apprciated. Thanks! -- Richard D.

When you try to access DFS from the bad machines, browsing to \\our. domain.name\our.dfs.path, you get ?Access is denied? even when logged in as a user with full permission to access everything. However, DFS content can be accessed just fine from these machines if you use the shorter ?Pre-Windows 2000? domain name (e.g., \\domain\our.dfs.path). The problem is that our AD GPOs all use the long domain name, so software deployment fails on these machines. The issue is machine-specific, not user-specific. Any user who logs into the bad machines has the problem. The same user can log into a good machine and access DFS with no trouble. I?m stumped. Anyone seen this before?

Re: Dear Dell
I think the issues speak for themselves... 1. Change in representation, and lack of notification 2. Getting quotes wrong. Once or twice, I can forgive. 5 or 6 times is straining my patience. 3. Getting a quote for equipment that I had already priced on the premier page (rep had the equote) that is in excess of what my equote was. At the very least, explain the differences to me.

Cross Post from patchmgmt.org Update in Adobe Flash Player, to address XSS.
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-13.html An important http://www.adobe.com/devnet/security/security_zone/severity_ratings.htm l vulnerability has been identified in Adobe Flash Player 10.3.181.16 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Solaris, and Adobe Flash Player 10.3.185.22 and earlier versions for Android. This universal cross-site scripting vulnerability (CVE-2011-2107) could be used to take actions on a user's behalf on any website or webmail provider, if the user visits a malicious website. There are reports that this vulnerability is being exploited in the wild in active targeted attacks designed to trick the user into clicking on a malicious link delivered in an email message. Adobe recommends users of Adobe Flash Player 10.3.181.16 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Solaris update to Adobe Flash Player 10.3.181.22 (10.3.181.23 for ActiveX). Adobe expects to make available an update for Flash Player 10.3.185.22 for Android during the week of June 6, 2011. Adobe is still investigating the impact to the Authplay.dll component that ships with Adobe Reader and Acrobat X (10.0.2) and earlier 10.x and 9.x versions of Adobe Reader and Acrobat for Windows and Macintosh operating systems.

Re: OT: Dear Dell
I remember the thread! Ok. Working with the rep, line by line on all the equipment I'm ordering (4 different unit types, total of 12 machines) dropped the price to a more reasonable number. It was a lot of work, but that 30 minutes saved us nearly $4,000. This order has taken much more work than I've had to do in a long time. I think there's a magic checkbox that they need to check if one of their customers has a premier page, because, she said, wait, I need to go back and check this box. She said it as if she wasn't really paying attention to what she was saying. I also got the song about how they don't make much money on their equipment They make enough, otherwise they wouldn't be doing it...

'All Programs' icons missing
A week or so ago, we had 2 users suddenly lose their icons to programs located under Start-All Programs. These are WinXP machine, local profiles. The subdirectories are all there and visible (Games, Accessories, UltraVNC, and all the others), but the shortlink links to the actual programs are ALL gone. Their desktop icons have not been effected by this. I know I can probably blow away their profile and re-create to get icons back but... any idea what might have happened and how to get them back? Short of replacing their profile?

They take tons of photos that they have to edit and tag for things such as brochures, catalogs, etc. They are about to implement Masterpiece as their Point of Sale system, but I don't know if it handles images in that way. Currently they are using Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 for their editing, but Elements has a slow, cumbersome Online synchronization tool that really doesn't work very well with multiple PC's accessing centralized photo data (located in a data share on their server). But before Masterpiece can be implemented properly they need some sort of photo-editing software that not only allows them to handle large amounts of photo editing and tagging but also can support network access and sharing. I have very little experience with photo software, so I'm at a loss. Anyone have any ideas?

RE: Image Editing software
Just looked at it - doesn't say anything about accessing data from multiple workstations. Does it support that?

Re: OT:usb to serial cable driver
Thanks, I'll give that a try. Joe Tinney wrote: I usually plug the device in, go to Device Manager and view the Properties, then the Details tab and search for the VEN and DEV combination. That usually turns up some results. -Original Message- From: Bill Humphries [mailto:nt...@hedgedigger.com] Sent: Monday, June 06, 2011 12:49 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT:usb to serial cable driver Hi all, Anyone know of a way I can figure out what driver I need for this adapter? Like most of these you buy off of newegg, it doesn.t seem branded or have a part number visible anywhere. I remember that years ago it came with a driver CD when I used it with my XP laptop, but even if I found that disc, I'm sure it wouldn't have a Win7 64 bit driver. I'd like to get into into this Vtrak array today if possible.
