Yeah I agree DK for most software these days from big manufactures but for SBS2008 it's very important to have. Dell always ship the sealed DVD style case of SBS2008 even if they preinstall it. Is there anyway to check a key is a technet or MSDN one?

They have a receipt for the supply of 1 hp server and 1 hp SBS2008 from the IT Company and the guy who installed it owns the IT Company. In essense they have definately paid for the software. I need to be sure of the facts before I can say if it's illegal. Might have to get Microsoft involved.

We've recently taken on a new customer for IT Support as their previous support was abit crap tbh. Anyway they just had a new HP Server installed with SBS2008 from the previous mickey mouse Company. Upon my audit of the site I noticed the SBS2008 disc missing! which seem strange as this is...

I installed two new Dell Poweredge servers last week for 30 users and 30 IP Phones. Setup DHCP all nice with reservations etc. However 1 phone kept getting an IP conflict! 192.168.0.120/24 I disconnected the phone and pinged the 192.168.0.120 and got a response!! God knows what device this was...

Not a single problem with my 50" Panny - faultless since the day I bought it.

Ideally Pro so I can get them on the domain. I could always upgrade them as an extra cost. Cheers for the link.

Doing a new server install for a customer next week and they've asked for some touchscreen pc's to be installed aswell for some of their clients (it's a charity). Anyone recommend any? Need to run Windows 7 Professional.

You can get many third party appliances that just sit between your ISDN lines and PBX that can record all calls going in and out, I've installed a few.

The problem with full blown server is it doesn't stream with xbox natively unlike XP/vista/7/home server.

I run Hyper-V virtual servers at home running windows 2008 servers and exchange etc. OTT indeed but hey why not.

I had a Iiyama CRT years ago that went bump and like has been said, fanatastic CS and replaced it next day!

CC number and security code while your at it ;)

Can't wait! question is shall I get this for the Xbox or PC hmmmm

RAID1 isn't great for running games on tbh, especially software RAID1

OS? If Vista/7 have you tried 'run as administrator'? Updated Nvidia Drivers to latest version?

It is Windows 2008R2 64bit, The server hasn't got a issue as it created the GPT partition it's just the site it's going to has a few XP 32bit machines. I'll setup a test lab anyway before I take it to site. XP32 can't see GPT Partitions is the problem - I'm just hoping that over a network...

I'm hoping Windows XP 32bit doesn't really see the size in a sense and treats it as a SMB share rather than a partition.

Quick question regarding Windows XP 32bit accessing a Server running GPT NTFS file server. I've just setup a Dell server that has 4 x 1TB HDD's. I'm running this as Array as RAID5 with 2 virtual disks. Virtual Disk 0 as 100GB for OS Virtual Disk 1 as 2.9TB for Data Virtual Disk 0 is...

Re: [PC/ Consoles] Crysis 2 +1 NG Consoles have been out awhile now and I reckon we are starting to hit the limit on what they can do. The PC will continual to evolve and will really start to show the NG Consoles their age. When are the next consoles due out? A rather long time I...

I never advise trying to save money on a PSU - very under estimated piece of kit for a good gaming PC.

I'm always learning new stuff, reading blogs/forums/tecnet etc. I also try and get evaluation equipment in to learn new technology and create new solutions. also s**t and learn ftw.

Gotta agree with Pinko 100%, it is annoying modern products don't last as long as old school stuff but to be honest todays technology moves so fast and operate at such high temps it's hard to make something without testing it over a long duration you'll soon be out of date.

Have you tried creating a local admin account before you image?

I use opensource software "clonezilla" and never have a problem.

haha this - I do tend to visit customers more who look after me while I'm on site than the "difficult" customers ;)

So far I've been unimpressed with DICE/EA/ATI PC version still feels like beta. Still over 50 major bugs need sorting out. Dam console port - roll on BF3.

First MMORPG I played, a long time ago now 1998 I think I played - was on Europa as well. Had me hooked for a long time. One of the best games ever.

Plusnet will turn it off for you no problem.

I always use APC for my server installs, however our telecoms guys use Powerware for the PBX's. http://www.eaton.com/EatonCom/ProductsServices/Powerware/index.htm

Buy yourself a usb keyboard? use the on-screen keyboard?
