Re-enabling Administrator Accounts on SBS 2008
by Guest Jon CC- 0 replies
- 149 views
Hi In need of urgent help. Have a friend running SBS 2008 whereby they recently changed support and in doing so the new Admin disabled two accounts (the main Admin account and the Backup Admin account) thinking they were unneccesary accounts only to then realise the two accounts were the only Administrator accounts.

Accelerator Categories
by Guest NewsBot- 0 replies
- 84 views
The idea behind Accelerators has always been to reduce the distance between services and the end-user. Ideally, we’d like people to be able to select content, very quickly find the service they want to use, and then preview or execute the output of that service easily. Because of that, we found it really important to make sure that nothing hinders users from finding the services they’re interested in. Of particular concern was the case of users with many installed Accelerators—trying to pick out a relevant Accelerator from a list of, say, 40 is pretty daunting, even for a seasoned Accelerator veteran. We were afraid users might just give up and do things the o…
