Re: Mail server software
My vote for Mdaemon too. Mdaemon AntiSPAM very good, expecially with Windows Mail or Outlook. Exchange more expensive, may be good for big corporation, second plus IMAP in Exchange better then Mdaemon. With Exchange I'm as blind nothing visible, with Mdaemon I see all mail in user folders and posible ajust assotiation for .msg to see mails in Outlook Express on Server machine and decide what to do wth its individual message. IMHO for middle level Mdaemon better and simple for administrion. Most Exchange function available but little worst. P.S.

Re: WSUS question
Move it not necessary for attach, simply it will be to copies, one working and ond as garbage. Anyway I prefer copying, not moving, after full testing simpy delete first one.

First mode isolate each instance, second one conserve a resources. Anatoly Podgoretsky http://www.podgoretsky.com - Original Message - From: Miller Bonnie L.

Re: DB server RAID
Make two arrays RAID-1 for system RAID-10 for other About DB there is need additional arrays and do tests, because it depends of your data and load, usualy at least you need three or more arrays, one for tempdb, one for data and one for logs. You may move tempdb on same disk with OS, and data and logs on second array? or move logs on raid1 too, Anyway you have very few disks and you need need some compromise. Foxpro relevant to FileServer functions and there same requrements, also for FoxPro more important LAN then disk system. I I advice get contult with professionals.

Re: Raid Config
2 disks RAID 1 for system 6 disks RAID 10 for other Why you think that raid 10 less redundancy then raid 5?

You need to actually delete the devices you wish to scan for on first boot, for me these are the video card, the network card, and the sound card, so whether drivers are loaded or not, i delete these from device manager before sysprepping Then load all your drivers into C:\drivers, and add in each individual driver path to the following registry key; HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DevicePath I managed to find a utility that will scan your c:\drivers folder, note down the locations of all INF files, and then add each path to this registry key http://www.vernalex.com/tools/spdrvscn/index.shtml Now when windows first boots, and finds hardware without drivers loaded, it will scan every folder specified in the above registry key to find a suitable inf file. I believe the author of the above utility suggests removing C:\windows\inf from the list of search locations so that standard windows drivers aren't loaded, but I'm not entirely sure of the consequences of doing this We had a lot of success with this before opting to use BDD2007 and its method of injecting drivers Nik -Original Message- From: Ben Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 28 January 2008 22:10 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: sysprep and dell oem On Jan 28, 2008 10:27 AM, Ara Avvali [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I guess there is a 4096 byte limitation in length ...

Basically no more folder structure, everything runs from root folder. You can do that, and sometimes it even works. However, sometimes different drivers include a file of the same name but different contents, so everything-in-one-folder doesn't always work. Also, one occasionally runs into situations where certain hardware needs certain drivers/revisions, or is allergic to same. By using different folders for each driver, one can just specify different answer files and use one driver distribution tree. If you're targeting a single machine type, these are less of a concern.
