RE: Memory Dump File
We had that same error and it ending up being the memory on the raid card.
Swapped with a backup server we had retired from another client and it came
right up with zero issues.

Subject: Memory Dump File
I am trying to decipher a memory dump on a Win2003 server. From everything I
can read within, it looks like bad memory. We also had a hard drive fail (two
drives, RAID 1, 2 partitions) which was replaced a day or so before this memory
dump. Does it look like memory to anyone else? Or maybe the controller?
This server is 4 years old and has just begun acting up. We are running
AppAssure Replay for our backups and the crashes seem to co-inside with backing
up our E drive. It almost finishes but each time it gets about 3/4 done, it
will crash. I think it's just a coincidence but maybe not? It has blue
screened 4 times in the last week, 3 produced mini dumps but the last did not
produce one.
Thanks for any help... Kelli

KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR (77)
The requested page of kernel data could not be read in. Caused by
bad block in paging file or disk controller error.
In the case when the first arguments is 0 or 1, the stack signature
in the kernel stack was not found. Again, bad hardware.
An I/O status of c09c (STATUS_DEVICE_DATA_ERROR) or
C16AL (STATUS_DISK_OPERATION_FAILED) normally indicates
the data could not be read from the disk due to a bad
block. Upon reboot autocheck will run and attempt to map out the bad
sector. If the status is C185 (STATUS_IO_DEVICE_ERROR) and the paging
file is on a SCSI disk device, then the cabling and termination should be
checked. See the knowledge base article on SCSI termination.

RE: Verizon Data Services down
I would say its safe that every technology company at this level will have a wide array of happy and not so happy customers. We support several thousand customers who have everything from Verizon, Tmobile, Sprint, ATT. For us customer service has been great with Verizon, good with Tmobile and the other 2 well..they suck.. For us actual service coverage has been fantastic on Verizon, Tmobile has been good overseas and ok here, and the other 2..they suck.. Several of my employees have ATT, and several have Sprint. They are never happy. Those that have Verizon I never hear them complain..other than the cost. :) Greg Sweers CEO ACTS360.comhttp://www.acts360.com/ P.O.

RE: How do you handle pushing updates to remote users (vpn connectivity only)
Sorry second part.. We have a Managed Services agent that monitors everything and can push updates, script, etc.. Smart phones can be mostly controlled from either Exchange or Blackberry. While BB is the only device you can really control completely, you can set policies with Exchange for a decent number of devices (Varies on OS and brand) On android, we use Touchdown to allow kill commands to wipe the phone and SD card, allows for more robust syncing as well than the native google mail app. Iphone supports remote kill and basic security. Havent tested new Windows phone BB we use Bes Express (Free version) does virtually everything the client needs..requires more management. Greg Sweers CEO ACTS360.comhttp://www.acts360.com/ P.O.

RE: Watchguard xtm 510
Paul, We use the XTM quite heavily. XTM is fundamentally different from WFS, which is the File System they used on the older Watchguard systems. XTM is several quantum leaps beyond it. What software version are you on? Are you in drop in mode or routing mode? When configuring the proxy's there is a button to the right of logging that is your various control options for the proxy. Have you reviewed those? Also I am not aware that PPTP is a proxy. Are you using the WG to terminate the VPN tunnel or are you passing it through to a server or device to handle PPTP. If it's the latter, add the PPTP rule, From External-Any and do a NAT to the internal IP, if you are not using NAT, then just specify the public IP of your VPN device behind the firewall. Remember XTM requires two rules, one for each direction, WFS allowed you to do this on one rule, but for proxy's whatever option you selected applied to both directions, in XTM you can make the proxy behave differently per direction. By default there is an Outgoing rule that will allow all outbound UDP/TCP traffic if you go through the config wizard, otherwise you have to configure each rule manually so check that you have an Outgoing rule. Feel free to hit me off list. Greg Sweers CEO ACTS360.comhttp://www.acts360.com/ P.O.

RE: Windows 2008 SBS RWW
Setup the desktop inside the office they need to connect to with a static IP. Change its RDP listening port to something like 3390, port forward 3390 to this IP and then setup the RDP app on the IPAD to connect to 3390. I don’t know what RDP app on the IPAD will allow you to specify ports for RDP if any, you will want to check around on this. In windows you just add a :3390 to the end of the Server IP you are connecting to. Greg Sweers CEO ACTS360.comhttp://www.acts360.com/ P.O.

RE: AppAssure Replay4
We have replaced all backup software we use at all locations with AppAssure, it just works. We were on it before they standardized event logs and some other tweaks, but we have used it to do backups of servers, exchange, sql, sharepoint to flat files, to standby VM's and they just come up easily. Easy configs, easy restores... It just works. Replication is done by installing the core on another server at a remote location and pushing to the repository that the core their controls. You can then push it to a VM, physical box.. Its slick.. My guys have worked directly with the techs there and its great. Datto Backup also uses AppAssure on their appliances and while I have not used Datto, I have heard good things from them as well. Greg Sweers CEO ACTS360.comhttp://www.acts360.com/ P.O.

RE: data recovery service
We use Drive Savers quite a bit as well. A data forensic guy here locally turned us on to him. Whenever his tools and equipment is unable to recover data (Requiring clean room and plotter removal usually) he sends it to them. They have a jpg only recovery service for around 900 or so and then full recovery for a range depending on the extent of damage. They provide a quote with a maximum recovery cost. Very responsive and professional. + they have recovered a ½ dozen drives for us.

RE: Redirect folders to network
We have had horrid luck with Roaming Profiles. Everything from software that doesn't work as it should to profile corruption. (Roxio, Adobe, Certain plugins, LOB software) We redirect the My Documents, and in some cases the Desktop depending upon the client environment. Write a script to copy the favorites folder to their My Documents folder on login once a week and that's all I really care about. We have a few clients we copy the Outlook personalization files like categories and .nk2 files. As we move to Exchange 2010 those .nk2 files become unnecessary. Only time I would consider Roaming Profiles is a call center or VERY HIGHLY standardized environment that does not see major changes and has a good lab setup for testing.

Roaming profiles allow a user's operating environment (application settings, customizations, etc) to follow them to multiple machines. This is useful if your users truly do roam from machine to machine. If Roaming Profiles are implemented, it would be a good idea to go ahead and redirect certain folders. I would definitely redirect the my documents and application data directories so that the contents of those aren't loaded/unloaded each time the user logs in/out. If users like to save things to their desktop, it may be a good idea to redirect those as well. Redirecting folders without using roaming profiles is a good way to ensure important documents are saved to a central location, allowing them to be backed up easily. In this case, you may only be concerned with redirecting the my documents folder.

I've used a myriad of different NAS boxes over the years. Both Terrastation Pro and Linkstation, no real complaints about them. Other than the fact that the boot ROM resides on the hard drives in the Terrastation Pro I have, and if you swap out all the drives at the same time then you have to TFTP the image back to the box. What a pain, never have gotten around to doing it yet. Been sitting there with 4 1TB drives in it for a couple months, just haven't had the time, should probably sell it. Have had a ReadyNAS NV+ at work and it's performed pretty well. Kind of slow, newer model is suppose to be screaming fast though with a lot of improved features. Problem with is was all 4 disks need to be the exact same model down to a T or it cries. After all those I just picked up a Drobo-FS for home. Started with a couple WD2002FYPS drives, those are the top of the line WD datacenter SATA drives. Suppose to sip the power and be screaming fast. I'm just slowly adding more drives as I find a deal on ebay. So far performance wise I'm kind of disappointed. Like it's been mentioned with other devices if you have multiple data transfers going at the same time it slows down more than I feel it should. But so did all my other NAS boxes. And loading directories with hundreds-thousands of sub folders or files is slow. If I remember the Drobo is suppose to spin down drives if not in use. I don't know how it decides which ones to do. So some of the slowness may be attributed to that. For simplicity you could just get an external locally attached drive with two drives it. A lot of manufactures make them, just set it up for mirroring and forget about it. It's portable and simple to hook up and a lot cheaper than NAS. http://www.buy.com/prod/fantom-2tb-g-force-megadisk-dual-interface-usb-2 -0-esata-external-hard/q/loc/101/206729332.html From: Jonathan Link [mailto:jonathan.l...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2010 10:04 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Buffalo - was Re: Home RAID enclosure recommendations?

RE: IPAD vs Android tablets
Not to worry, my customers beat me up much harder Z. You have very good points regarding the security. A simple enough method to mitigate it is not install Email on the device and require them to use Outlook via the Terminal Server. RDP would be the method, and yes if they stole the device, implanted a root kit, keylogger etc on it they could obtain the information. We are looking at Authentication tokens required to TS into it, but the vendors are small. Wyse has an app, but we have not tested two-factor yet. Good thing its available on Droid or Ipad. Doctors do get what they want, they drive the money to the practice, but for all their yelling and complaining when the Practice Admin says fine, this is what you now get paid, they start back pedaling.. :) In the end we can simply as we always do define the risks/benefits, remind them of compliance and offer them software/hardware to meet that compliance..but in the end its their decision. Not mine. Some practices enforce those policies, others choose not too. When it hits the fan it will hit them in the pocketbook and I will waive my signed document of disclosure and release of liability and help them clean up the mess.

Either that or a more sinister plot is to plant a rootkit on the device, or a backdoor as a legit application, and re-introduce it back to the users and monitor all the information crossing said device and gleam the information form afar, thus having complete control over the device and obtaining multiple different sets of information, credentials, to conduct more nefarious deeds.

RE: OMFG it works (was RE: 2008 R2 RDS (was Terminal Server)in DMZ to 2K3 DC in LAN)
Yeah the Non Profit status makes it a non-brainer in almost every case for us, but we have a Citrix company who has setup several implementations for us for regular businesses, and I never get calls on it being down other than when a patch goes awry.

Let's call it $2000 of NWEA labor (this includes total FTE cost, not just their salary).

And it bugs me that the company really does not have a non-profit/health/GSA pricing scheme. For years we held off on full Citrix deployment, only due to the cost. But..I spent many hours, like Dave, getting Terminal Server working, only to decide after several months it was too much work to maintain a Terminal Server farm as well as several Citrix systems. I was constantly working on the Terminal Server system. I rarely touched the XenApp/XenServer/Access Gateway systems. I decommissioned the Terminal Server systems and now my users are happy with the better performance of Xenapp, I'm happy that I don't have to baby-sit it. Anyway you'd need to somehow figure hours into your cost estimates.

Maybe even a possibility of putting entries in the LMHOSTS to point directly to a Domain Controller accordingly, for this server, but again don't think that is the problem if I can verify the secure channel is good with the NLTEST command then we can eliminate that.

I am currently experiencing packet retransmits between our remotely hosted website and our SQL environment every 22 minutes or so. I have been through as many factors as I can think of with a fine toothcomb trying to pin-point what is causing this error. I can find when the error occurs and which packets are being retransmitted, but I cannot for the life of me work out why. The Website logs (on IIS7) say that there is a Transport Layer Error: The connection was forcibly closed by a remote host I have tried numerous things suggested by the numerous KB articles and forum posts that I have found, but none have worked thus far (updating NIC drivers, turning off Syn Attack protection, temporarily disabling TCP Chimney). I am clutching at straws now, but I have found that the licensing model used in my SQL environment was not designed to be accessed by the number of connections generated by a website (I have only 100 'per seat / connection' licenses as opposed to a 'per processor' licensing model). I'm not even sure that increasing the number of licenses will resolve the issue as I have just run a perf mon which shows that I actually had 136 concurrent connections into the database without the Transport Layer Error occurring, however I am assuming it is 'best practice' to do so. So I guess my questions are three-fold: 1) Has anyone resolved this issue in the past? 2) If so, what was the cause / solution please?! 3) Can I crank up the number of per seat licenses in my SQL 2000 Enterprise installation as a test first, without buying the licenses and what are the repercussions of this, if any? I am looking to increase the number of per connection licenses that my SQL 2000 environment is currently using, in an attempt to resolve a Many thanks, Mark Mark Robinson ICT Manager The Chartered Institute of Purchasing Supply Tel: +44 (0) 1780 761526 Fax: +44 (0) 1780 751610 www.cips.orghttp://www.cips.org/ IMPORTANT INFORMATION Internet communications are not secure and therefore CIPS does not accept legal responsibility for the contents of any e-mail message sent via this medium.

I'd like some help on what are the correct permissions, as I have a few questions. Let me explain what things are like currently. Right now, home folder permissions are as follows: There is a \\SERVER\Homes share. The _sharing_ permissions on this folder is set to Everyone has Change, Domain Admins has Full control. Each user has a home folder under this share (i.e.: \\SERVER\Homes\Username) with the following permissions: DOMAN\Username has Modify SERVER\Administrators has Full Control SERVER\Users has Read and Execute[1] SYSTEM has full control CREATOR OWNER has no permissions And now, several questions: A) What are the correct sharing permissions? Should Everyone be changed to Domain Users? Should Domain Admins not be in that list? B) What is the SYSTEM permissions for? Is it needed? C) SERVER\Administrators vs DOMAIN\Domain Admins... Which is more appropriate? I'm working on a script to reset these permissions, probably with xcacls. I need to find my old cacls script first, or write it from scratch. If somebody has a working script for this handy, I'd love a copy.

AD has replicated, the files and permissions are good, Mailboxes all moved, DNS and DHCP looking reasonable. At this point I have not moved the FSMO roles or anything like that. We shut down both the old SBS2K3 server and the new 2008 server and reorganized the server room. I then turned on only the 2008 server.
RE: Global co-lo companies
I know Peak 10 is a US territory, but I would imagine that many of these providers have contacts or relationships with international counterparts and could easily work a deal to provide worldwide services on one bill. Doing service in this way may also get you a lower price point as I know hosting in ATT datacenters while they are worldwide has a serious cost to it. Just a thought. Lots of variables. Single network, vs multiple networks, who monitors and maintains these separate data centers for you, etc. etc.. Greg Sweers CEO ACTS360.comhttp://www.acts360.com/ P.O.

RE: ConnectWise
We also decided not to pursue ConnectWise. To be fair they have done some serious changes in the past 3 to 4 months from what I have been told, but its product was too buggy for our use when we looked at it. I know a few clients using it and have said they get around the issues. We chose Autotask, and we also purchased a product called RapidFire which is an Fat Client using their Open API to pull info directly down. We get a fat client which we liked about Connectwise, but we get it for Autotask. A bonus is we don't have to purchase/maintain or monitor another box as its all hosted.

RE: AV Opinions
We have used virtually all of them. We currently have Vipre installed everywhere. Does a pretty good job, but there is always something that makes its way through. Usually a new variant of Antivirus 2010, but its easily cleaned with MalwareBytes. The only real issues we have are systems that require Admin rights, (not by our choice, and we have fought hard on this) but they learn and we eventually get our way. Eset great product, horrible support, console was very convoluted to learn. AVG, not a bad product but to many lockups and crashing systems for us to be comfortable with it. Symancrap..nough said.

We are replacing Symantec with Sophos right now and it is going very well so far. Sophos will sync with AD (if you want) to automatically protect computers when you add them. It will remove Symantec cleanly (so far on about 25 test/pilot users it has been perfect) when pushing it out.

RE: disk encryption
Ben, We have done clients with whole disk encryption on the laptops. Works great. Doesn't protect against anything when the system is actually running, only when the laptops are stolen. PGP Desktop Whole disk is what we used then, but I would seriously look at Truecrypt now. Nice thing about PGP was the centralized management we had for maintaining PGP passwords and accounts. All of the data is stored on the server 2008 via RDP. They use it both internally and externally. No data is stored on desktops or servers. Desktops are locked down via GP and basically have a single icon for RDP, or are running thin clients. Takes care of most security issues, but if the servers have a problem you hear about it quick. :) Greg Sweers CEO ACTS360.comhttp://www.acts360.com/ P.O.

RE: Strange disappearing DVD Drive.
Clarity seems to be the buzz word this week. Drive disappears from explorer. Drive management shows nothing. Device manager has no listing. Pull the drive reinsert and they all come back. Drive internally is done via SATA. The USFF uses the same interface you would on a laptop . Push in on the lever and pull out and the drive comes right out. I haven't tried an explicit path but I am very sure that it wont work since there is nothing in device manager. I am hoping there is some registry path or file I can pull and let the system redetect to make it stable. I just don't know how to troubleshoot that though. Greg Sweers CEO ACTS360.com P.O.

RE: SAN question
Also do you use DFS? If you do, NAS units don't work. The volumes must be mapped to Windows servers as local drives (meaning ISCSI or DAS) HECK, running two servers with appropriate DAS running DFS/Replication would give you redundancy.. There are tons of ways to slice this without going to a SAN and spending that money unless your REQUIREMENTS dictate specific features that only SANS require. You can get two cheap Drobo or Synology boxes that support AD, SMB, CIFS, ISCSI (mini sans basically) 3 to 5 TB depending on raid and size of drives for 1/3rd the cost of a SAN. Synology and Drobo do replication between each other, you could use ISCSI and do DFS replication one to each server for redundancy, or have one online and replicate to the other for backups. -Original Message- From: John Aldrich [mailto:jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com] Sent: Friday, September 24, 2010 10:22 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: SAN question Well, my (admittedly limited) understanding is that at the low-end SANs have a lot of overlap with NAS and that they are almost interchangeable.

RE: SAN question
Here is my take, swallow what you will ,spit out what you wont.. I have no idea what you currently have. Based on your size and the zillions of posts around this. Identify your space need for the next 3 years. Since you ARE running DFS, you have to do with LOCAL drives. That means your server thinks they are built in. NAS units and CIFS shares wont work . DFS requires Windows 2003/2008 Server to function. DFSR requires 2003 R2 or 2008 servers. Buy a NAS that supports ISCSI (Drobo, Synology) or go with a good DAS, MD3000 or such... Make sure it can handle your storage needs. Any of your servers if they are within a few years can run Vmware or HyperV and interface with a DAS and partition space if you want to go that route or install the ISCSI initiator on your VM's/Physical and map it to the LUN on the unit. Purchase a Datto Backup unit. Capable of taking 15 minute snapshots of your server and realtime dropping the whole server, SQL, Exchange, Files into Vmware waiting to hit the start button in the event of a total failure. All of that data replicates to their cloud for recovery in the event of a total failure or disaster locally. Allows incremental recovery of data locally as well and recovery to point in time for the whole server or mount SQL or Exchange without having to go through full recovery procedures. Its slick, I use it, clients love it, and it just works. I bet the whole solution would cost you 15k and your monthly would easily spread out over 3 years to your 30k. Your finance people will love not dropping 30k up front. You get reliability, data recovery and business continuity. I am the first one to admit, that I can get overwhelmed with the dozens of options, and you are probably in the position that this decision/purchase has to be right because if its not your but is on the line. So you are hesitant to make the decision. We have ALL been there, and we all probably get there more often than we used to. I may suggest you contact a proven IT organization in the area and spend 5 to 8 hours of their consulting time and help them develop these business goals, IT goals and then give you some options on meeting them.

John you are still missing the point. Buy a tape library, duplicate your Storage, use external drives. Who cares? You must define your requirements. How much data do you have?

I agree with everyone else, identify your drivers (Needs) and then evaluate those needs. It's a harder process than it sounds, but essential when operating at this level of cost. Since you have not done that, and you obviously need something. I would go with the synology, several models, lots of expansion and supports ISCSI, works great for file serving, we have several ISCSI LUNS connected for performing system state backups on our 2008 Servers. Doesn't miss a beat and has quite a few features built into it. Like 4TB of space for less than $2500.00 Depending on raid config..

I've already verified with the email vendor that I hope to use that this is not a problem, so that's a non-issue.

If Intel is able to mass market and provide multiple levels of the chip at specific prices, so that when I pay for a 350.00 chip I get a 350.00 speed, and upgrade as I want. I don't have a problem with that. The spirit of my purchase is in line with what I received. If Intel starts saying, to turn on gaming API's it will cost x dollars, to turn on Cad functions it will cost x dollars, I think there is a serious problem. To think AMD would not embrace a similar model is pretty crazy. As a whole the business model in this will continue to grow and expand into more and more fields. Take for example TV's. If a 50 HD Plasma TV with Wifi, multiple HDMI, digital outputs, 3D..the works. Costs 2500.00 today. And Samsung comes out with the exact same TV with all of those functions built in but they have gimped the HD function to 720 and the HDMI outputs/inputs and disabled 3D as sold it for 1500.00 dollars and I could afford it, purchased knowing it was that way, I would be fine with it. My intent and expectation in line with what I am receiving. I would further be happy that to upgrade to HDMI and HD 1080p in a few months with the raise I could upgrade without changing out my TV and losing the money I put out for the original. Then upgrade to 3D when I purchase the new PS3 stuff.. Now if I bought the TV and all of those specs were on the box, but when I pulled it out it came out with a TOS and then charged me an up fee to get those features, I would be hacked... Just because something can do something, does not mean for the price I received it for I should get everything automatically.There are a lot of grey area areas. For example. Verizon and Bluetooth and GPS. If I buy a cell phone with GPS, I expect GPS functionality to work. Verizon broke this with most apps and required a 10.00 a month for VZ Navigator, but there was no reason why it should not work. They didn't lower the price, or disclose this information beforehand. They disabled Bluetooth to prevent everything but headset sync. No file transfer etc.. No disclosure and even no way to turn it on. If I own a satellite disk, and hack it to receive television I am not paying for, I have an issue with this. I am receiving goods and benefits for which I am not paying for not inherent to my satellite dish. Lets goto Droid cell phones. Verizon provides the Droid in its stock capacity. I modify the kernel and software to do what I want. I am not receiving services from 3rd party's or downloading software I have not paid for. I am good with that. Not do I expect Verizon to service that hardware if something breaks. No absolutely not, until I return it to factory condition. Then yes I expect it to be serviced if there is still a problem and it was not hardware damaged due to my tinkering. This is hard area to control, and how can Verizon be liable for a chip meltdown due to my kernel upgrade... I can understand why they void the warranty completely. Do I agree with it, no but I do understand the reasoning. The distinction for me is clear in most cases. Just my thoughts. You are free to disagree, that's why they are my thoughts and not yours.

RE: Intel wants to charge to unlock features already on your CPU
For me it comes down to purchased intent. Did I buy the hardware with the features I wanted. Yes. Can it do more.. Doesn't matter. If it can, great I can upgrade when I want..BUT I GOT what I paid for. Would you buy the computer that cost 2500.00 because it has 8 cores, and 8 gig ram or buy the exact same system hard locked to 4 core and 4 gig ram for 1500.00. Would you rather buy a second system for 2500.00 and be out the 1500 again when you need the upgrade? I don't see a problem with the business logic of applying software based licensing to hardware as long as all of the features are disclosed before the purchase. Especially if the application of such licenses lowers my cost to buy what I need and not more. What REALLY ticks me off is when I have to buy a certain model to get an included feature, but I get 10 things I don't want.. Touring edition of a CAR for example. I want the rear camera, but I have to pay 5k worth of upgrades for navi, in dash DVD, etc..because its all bundled. Give me hardware that can do it all, and turn off what I am not paying for..Anyone wish CABLE TV did this.. Sound me AN AMEN!! Whether it feels like you are being rubbed or not, is irrelevant. Did you get what you paid for and just complaining that you didn't get something you didn't pay for free? Greg Sweers CEO ACTS360.com P.O.

You buy a 5505 and want more than one or two VPN's live you have to upgrade the IOS with the Security Pak. I would think other firewall or router manufactures are doing the same to some degree. Basic firewall service but for extra money you can expand the features available. The Linksys home routers/firewalls can be upgraded but not by Cisco but by WW-DRT or something similar. This is not a big change from current business models. I seem to remember that 80386 processors that Intel sold back in the day had a separate Math Coprocessor which was a pain to deal with. You had to physically verify the MB would take it and then install it. I did enough of those installs to wish that it would have just been a simple add a boot disk and run a BIOS update.

Is there any 3rd party comparison or statistic that gives Vipre a better than average result? I'm not looking for endorsements or praise for their tech support - heard that all before. But if you've had Vipre on 10 seats or more and have kept track of live infections after a year or longer, and effort to avoid or recover from false positives, that would be great to know. Please include total number of seats in any report.

RE: setspn persistence
Richard, That is exactly what we had to do for a migration to make Kerberos work and stay working for 3 months while the vendor upgraded some software code. Worked great. Its primary use is for renaming domain controllers, during the process netdom will copy the old name of the server into this additionaldns field. Disabling strict name checking and using this hack works as well to allow Kerberos to continue to function and when the spn's are rewritten voila, they both stay..

I see this as a big missing piece of Exchange, but its been like this since before I can remember. We have created a public folder structure for each person with multiple emails and forward them to their main account. It works, but man is it crazy to keep up with as they grow. We also have another client who runs their public namespace on a pop3 server that they have hundreds of mailboxes that they forward to the Exchange Email space.

RE: Big Changes Ahead for IT - Anyone seen this?
Installing and configuring are wholly different animals.. Lots of slick wizards do nothing when something breaks and you have to get into the guts. When I show my customers how to add a user in the SBS Console, (Which I never do unless they force the issue), and they say. Oh this is so easy, Why do I need you? I ask them to open the program responsible for managing Active Directory, or can they tell us if there is a network connectivity issue, how about pulling up log files... The light bulb goes off and they understand that it takes more than just a passing casual use to administer the technology.

There was a time when installing Windows still needed some knowhow - think F6 for RAID drivers and configuring those disks into arrays. Not quite Unix, but still needed expertise. Contrast that with the install routines for 2008 R2 these days. I was shocked to see how simple it was. Load disk, choose partition, format and you're done.

The fact is that as technology becomes more prevalent, MOST people desire to learn less about it. The ubiquity of automobiles has not led to more auto mechanics, but rather to an even smaller percentage of car owners being able to deal with even routine maintenance on a vehicle. There is no reason to believe that this trend will not manifest itself with computer technology. In order to make things appear simple enough for the every-day userhttp://home.asbzone.com/ASB/archive/2009/11/16/where-simplicity-and-technology-really-intersect.aspx, the complexity gets encapsulated somewhere -- typically in the integration realm. The main problem is the use of the terms deploy IT apps which probably means something very different to them than it does to us.

Outlook RPC over HTTP is built into 2003 Server as well. Outlook Anywhere was basically the name change in Exchange 2007/10 and it added additional functionality such as the autodiscover technology.
