Do you have printer redirection enabled on TS connections? This generally is a
frequent cause of this sort of stuff. Also I think some of the new HP drivers
can call home.

They're not really backwards compatible per se. An app compiled for 1.1 needs
1.1. 3.0/3.5 is just a bunch of extensions to 2.0 so an app compiled for 2.0
needs just 2.0, likewise an app which uses stuff in 3/3.5 needs 2.0 + 3/3.5.

Crap, our programmers have been using .net
Just curious not having read this whole discussion, but, if you're worried
about the perf of your page file that tells me that you're seeing some serious
paging which in turn tells me you need to buy more memory. Memory is cheap and
it's WAY faster than disk will ever be...

. It looks across files, so if you had
something like this:
-- BigFile.cad (10MB)
-- Copy of BigFile.cad (10.5MB)
It would only replicate the .5MB that's different.

If you have access to the VL portal (or I think MSDN), you can download the
MDOP which includes the old Winternals recovery console toolkit that used to
cost a large pile of cash. I believe to use it legitimately you need to have SA
on Vista clients.

6 drives is a lot of IOPS. I'd be inclined to say you'll be just fine given the
workload of a typical SBS instance. Just a thought but why not go with HyperV?
It's a lot more painless to manage especially when discussing the skillset of a
typical SBS shop.

I don't believe there is a correct way. That said what I recommend is that
