RE: Exchange 5.5 admin
yup, but it has to be either NT or Win2k. Run the install from the Exchange server CD, choose custom install, and just install the Admin component (and Books Online would be good to have, too). Then install the same Exchange service pack that you have on your server(s) on the machine, and you're good to go. Roger Iron Chef - Migration -- Roger D.

RE: OWA/SSL/ACE/WLBS
In my copious spare time I need to set the same thing up. Since you don't specify, I'm guessing that you're using a second network for the load balance stuff. Make sure that there isn't a default gateway set for the nics on that network. There should only be one default gateway on any machine. I'll bet dollars to donuts this is the issue. You might want to go as far as making the back network a /30 network (2 hosts). That might also help. One last ditch effort (and I strongly suggest you don't put this setup in production) is to create a static route for the ACE server on each server, to the appropriate network interface.

RE: chronic problems
A few things. First, double check the chair and desk setups, to make sure you've got good support and are sitting correctly. I would bet that your monitor isn't in the right place. Most of the suggestions for combating carpal tunnel apply here. Second, switch to the natural style keyboards (I'm partial to the Microsoft Natural Pro, but the Natural Elite isn't bad), and you might want to consider a trackball instead of a mouse (I love the Logitech Trackman Wheel that I have). I've been using both for about 2 months and have less arm/wrist problems, which in turn affects your shoulders and neck. Third, review your chiropractor - if he/she did not take any X-Rays, or if he/she made you stand on a pair of scales (to see if you have uneven weight distribution), find a different chiropractor. I would suggest looking for one who has extensive background in sports medicine. Fourth, change your work habits slightly. Take short breaks every 30-45 minutes, even to just get up, walk around for 1 minute, and sit down again. Fifth, look at your bed - change the number of pillows (probably need less) or look at using an orthopedic pillow. The problem might not be work, but the different posture at work might bring out the symptoms that aren't apparent when you're at home drinking beer and eating Cheetos on the couch. -- Roger D.

It's my job to sit here, write code and administer this network, yet the neck/shoulder discomfort has been with me for 10 months, and seems to get better on the weekends (when I'm not working), then Monday afternoon and Tuesday it starts back up again. I've changed everything from desks to chairs. I even stretch all the time. Doesn't help. Been to chiropractic for the last 4 months, message therapy, physical therapy for 3 months, acupuncture for crying out loud, and nothing helps. Yes, I get plenty of exercise, I'm on a summer league baseball team.. Even had an MRI and they told me everything was fine. Only way I can get it to feel better, is if I'm not working. But I have to make a living somehow eh? College students need all the bee.. money they can get =) 21 years old is too young for this crap. Am I just allergic to work? Anyone? Please? For the love of god? .. Figured I would ask here since back/neck/shoulder problems are no stranger to people in the IT industry :) Paul _ Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

RE: Unknown IP address Help
THe 169.254.0.0/16 address range was set aside for something called APIPA (or something like that). In a nutshell, its local DHCP in case the machine can't find a network. You've got a machine that doesn't think its on the network. Roger -- Roger D.

We tried to do a lookup on it but get no results. Anyone seen this or know of a way we can trace it back to the process?
