    Server 2008 login and Exchange issues

    When logging into our server hosting Exchange, with a domain account, it hangs for an absurd amount of time (an hour or more) before actually bringing up a desktop. However when logging in with the local administrator account, it passes the welcome screen but then hangs on "Personal Settings."...

    Our parent company has an exchange server that can be accessed from 3G phones, home internet, etc. using a server.domain.net address.

    Server 2008 R2. I did a bit of research and discovered the MBR only allows four partitions, but that doesn't seem to be the issue. What am I missing? Thanks for any help!

    Server backup strategy; SAN or NAS?

    We have a handful of servers storing different types of data from exchange information to images to SQL databases. Recently, one of the servers took a huge hit in a power outage and lost 3 drives - it has been rebuilding for weeks. I had a set of LTO2 tapes storing about 1.4 TB of data and was...

    I just purchased a brand new laptop with respectable hardware. i7, 6GB ram, GeForce video with 1.5GB ram, Windows 7 Home Premium Not sure if I need to get more specific then that, but the computer was blazing fast and ran all my games at high settings. I haven't really installed anything...

    Good gaming laptop?

    "Yikes" for two reasons: I couldn't find a general enough sub-forum besides this one (and I have too much faith in Anandtech to go anywhere else) to ask this question first off. Secondly, I know this question is super vague and requires a lot of research; I just don't feel like I can do enough...

    Windows XP x86, SP3 A computer on our network can access the homepage, MSN, just fine. However if I try to use the bing search from there, it does not do anything. Going to google.com also does nothing, it just wants to stay on Msn.com. I decided to reinstall windows using the repair option...

    HDD only showing a fraction of the original capacity after FAT32 format w/SwissKnife

    Tried to fit as much into the subject line to be as specific as possible. I have a 640GB western digital portable USB hard drive. I wanted to change the file system to FAT32 so my Xbox 360 can use it as a media device. My friend here at work used SwissKnife to format his 1.5TB WD and had no...

    Account constantly locked out

    We have a user who is very often reporting that she cannot check her email. Each time she calls it is because her account is locked out in AD. I went to her desk and used her password to successfully unlock windows, and establish credentials with our exchange server. Though while using her PC, I...

    Two installations of Windows.. one keeps booting by default

    I had to install Windows XP in addition to Windows 7 because of a software I would occasionally need to run that isn't Windows 7 friendly. In any event, now only Windows XP boots. I chose to leave the file system intact when installing so it made a separate windows folder. Windows 7 =...

    How to disable ctfmon.exe from running for remote Citrix users

    Long story short, it causes an issue with a software that users run in our network through Citrix. If I remote into the Citrix server they are on, load task manager and terminate ctfmon.exe per user that is having the issue, it resolves. The problem could be completely solved if the server...

    Denying executable to Domain Users

    We run Citrix on 5 separate servers. Users are complaining that one of the applciation is having necessary components blocked by a mysterious gray box. I have found that it is the language bar causing the problem. I also found that denying permission to run ctfmon.exe would solve the problem...

    This computer I am working on is giving some weird issue I have never seen before. It will say connected for a second or so, then disconnected, rinse and repeat over and over until it achieves a solid connection, but it will only be connected at 10 mbps. I'm guessing there is some sort of...

    Linksys WRT-54GL CONSTANT wireless disconnects

    At first I believed it was just a typical wireless drop, but according to windows the strength is Excellent. My Xbox is also wireless connected with an above par connection strength and I notice it will drop at the EXACT same time my PC get's dropped, so it is definitely the router as oppose to...

    Scanning to FTP from a Kyocera Scanner

    The user manual has been no help at all and I've tried google and tinkering with every thing I can and I still can't figure out what to do. I work in a building as an entry computer tech and this has been stumping me for a while now. There is a scanner in a room which when any user scans a...

    Setting up my router as a bridge to an outside network?

    This may seem to most as unethical but I can basically access an outside unsecured router that is linked to an internet connected modem. The only thing I know about it, is that it is a "Linksys BEFW11S4 V4." This connection has been live for a VERY long time and the connection is always stable...

    Got a toshiba, it's password protected at boot...?

    The laptop was given to me by someone so I can completely restore the harddrive with a fresh clean version of windows, no bull crap. As soon as you hit the power button, it's like there's not even a boot, just a spot to enter a password. How the heck do I get around this? I'm assuming it's a...
