best windows fax app?
Hello. Sort of a low-tech question here... We have a need to deliver pdf documents to some of our customers' fax machines. We are testing Windows Fax on a Dell Optiplex with an OEM fax board: Broadcom BCMv.92 56k modem the drivers have been updated recently. The problem is that when we fax a pdf of an invoice, only the company logo (a graphic) gets faxed through, and not the text content. So we get a big white page with only the graphic showing. I am thinking that there might be a better fax app out there..? Any suggestions? Thank you !

robocopy script - deleting aged folders
I have a ROBOCOPY batch file question please: C:\Parcams is a directory that accumulates dated security camera snapshots. The snapshots for each day are stored in a sub-directory, named after that date, i.e., C:\Parcams\parcams-12-30-2009 I have prepared a script for purging files and folders that are greater than n days old. However, I have not quite got the script right. It successfully deletes the files inside the dated directories, but it leaves the empty directories behind. pic: http://screencast.com/t/OWFlYmEy Here is the text of the script: mkdir c:\dump robocopy C:\PARCAMS C:\dump /E /MOV /MINAGE:60 /R:10 rmdir C:\dump /s /q Here is a screenshot of the results of the batch file: http://screencast.com/t/ZjMyMzVjN Any suggested tweaks? I'd like to have the script remove those empty directories too. Thanks! ~Greg ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~
server 2003 - different domain computer using existing name?
Hi. I have a computer on my windows server 2003 domain called AAA. It runs XP pro, in a PC that we got from our equipment vendor (it is a specialized faxing/emailing computer). We had an issue with AAA and had to get a replacement from the vendor. I named the replacement machine BBB and joined the domain. There is a problem: It seems that a proprietary application is running on another computer, which is compiled to look for the machine called AAA. (it cannot look for numeric addresses) Question: I thought it was bad to recycle the same computer name to a different computer when joining a domain, but that seems to be what this situation requires. Is this true? or is there a good way I should go about renaming BBB to AAA? Thanks for any insight.

Re: server 2003 - different domain computer using existing name?
Thank you Brian, Jim and Ben. Thanks to you, we were able to solve our problem. By... Breaking BBB off from the domain into workgroup then changing the name of BBB to AAA then deleting the old instance of AAA from the domain's Active Directory and then reattaching AAA back to the domain did the trick.
