I've been an IT consultant for 10 years - need I say more? :D I've filled up the 42U rack for the basement with: - Watchguard Core x2500 firewall - 24 port Netgear gigabit switch - 15" NEC LCD on a shelf with keyboard/mouse - Pullout shelf with APC SmartUPS 1500 - 1U Intel Rackmount with 8GB...

FYI as of October 1st the Microsoft Partner program is undergoing its overhaul so anyone who is previously a Gold Partner (like we are) will be making a HUGE push to ensure their staff has completed the necessary tests to ascertain the different "competency" status (there are some 20 different...

Our company offers a virtual PBX solution for clients and we've been a Broadvox reseller. They're probably one of the most reputable and reliable SIP Trunk providers. Good customer service, dedicated sales rep for the region, and never any problems with service.

I agree with spending the money with new server purchases and get some form of integrated remote access card to the server VS having to deal with a KVM. Ive used both Raritan and Avocent in our datacenter and in client's datacenters, and to bluntly put it their Java implementation of the mouse...

I've been running my 2010 SP1 Beta in Hosting mode and was able to upgrade to RTM with ease - once the prerequistes were installed. For those who are using 2008 R2 I've throwing a ZIP with all 5 upgrades on my Live SkyDrive: http://cid-9306d411385aa690.office.live ... prereq.zip So far, so good!

We're an IT support firm, purchased our B200 appliance over 2 years now. As previous GoToAssist users, even with our discounts as being a Citrix partner our pricing over 3 years was going to be thousands more for 3 full Bomgar licenses for our staff. With our growth this year in engineers were...

Another vote for MDT (2010). You could do a Sysprep & Capture then import the drivers for the 780 and deploy.

Just to answer a few of those "WTF" question: You CAN migrate from version 4.x to 5.x, you just have to make sure that both installations are using the same backend SQL database. There's plenty of information on the 'net on how to do it. RIM can get away with giving you 75 free user licenses...

Interestingly enough, we just had a customer upgrade their 2008 Standard installation with HyperV to 2008 R2 Enterprise to cover the licenses for their VMs and according to the licensing portal they have some 40+ activations on their MAK key. Why would Microsoft do that if they only get 4+1...

Congrats and thanks for the reminder to check my results, however it wasn't very much of a thanks when I found out I failed :( I'm going to be really pissed if I got a 690 or so...

As long as you follow these 2 rules of thumb, you shouldn't have any problems. I had a customer in your same situation where they didn't think about disabling GPO settings before disabling it (that and some screwy DNS settings that kept the machines from propgating their GPOs properly) that...

We've started using OpenDNS (by signing up for an account and using our client's IP addresses) and after assigning the to the medium level we're really seeing the number of requests from problem clients cut down. On top of that, since most of our clients are using Watchguard devices we've setup...

If you're worried about Exchange integration and how Outlook does this, why not just purchase an Open Business license of Outlook alone? It's going to be cheaper than the Office suite, but honestly not much more than if you were to get it with Word/Excel. Or if you're running Exchange 2007...

We went through a similar exercise last summer, July 4th weekend to be exact. That Friday night someone snuck in behind the cleaning crew and stole 3 laptops right out of the front part of the office. Since then, all of the office machines have been encrypted with CompuSec, and we have a single...

And if you're running the 64-bit version of Windows 7 like I have been since last November, good luck on getting the VI Client to run at all without some fancy workarounds. Supposedly they'll have a new release by the end of the year that should solve most of our problems, but I'll see it when I...

I decided to take a look at the Infortrend product (just because I too am in the market for a DAS device) and checking on Google for pricing on the A12S-G2130 (2U 12 bay SATA with no rails or no drives) and it came out to around $3000. It's a lot more expensive than this unit I have been eyeing...

With internal communication issues between our group and the admin staff (who route calls between 5 different entites) we recently deployed OCS 2007 R2 to about 40 users We staged the software on its own VM, and the installation was fairly uneventful for the most part, except a hiccup needing...

As a nonprofit you definately need to look at TechSoup for all of your software licensing. Just to give you an idea: Small Business Server 2008 Premium Edition (Includes Software Assurance and 5 CALs) $62 http://tinyurl.com/qtgdct Small Business Server Single Premium User CAL (Includes...

Downloaded Ultimate x64 on Thursday (had to do it 3 times because the first 2 kept ended up as a corrupted download) and upgraded from the RC version (by copying the media to my hard drive and changing the build number in the sources\cversion.ini file to 6900) in under 2 hours - woot! So far so...

We have several customers here in the Twin Cities on the 50/10MB package, and it's pretty darn fast. I mean, we're talking 3.2MB/sec download speeds from some of the big names (Microsoft, Intel, Adobe, etc), and between several customers with either the 22/5 or 50/10 package I can transfer a...
