Thanks for taking a look! I would appreciate any help you can provide with this problem: We're experiencing the following issue in a small office environment: several times an hour, workstations will lose connectivity to at least the mail server, causing an error message in Outlook (connection to the Exchange server lost) and causing Internet and intranet connectivity to timeout. Sometimes the connection is restored in a matter of seconds, and sometimes it's down for 10-15 minutes. The network connection on the workstation does not show any connectivity problems during this time, but you can't access Internet or intranet pages most of the time. The workstations do no…

Paul Thurrott's Supersite for Windows When I look back over the past decade with Microsoft, I see lots of missed opportunities. The 2000s was the time when Microsoft ceded control of the tech industry, and while it will continue into the future as an enormous, financially successful superpower, my concern as a technology enthusiast is that Microsoft, by ceasing to lead, will cease to be interesting or relevant. Is it time to fix Microsoft? ... View the full article

Please note this is my first post on this website. I want to set up my 2008 server to share the internet on a small LAN that consists of 5 Mac's and 2 PC's. I have internet access on the server now, that connection comes from a Netgear router which is used for internet access by about 20 people, about half of those are wireless. Anyway, I have become the default IT guy here at this medium sized printing company, I work here as the Prepress Manager. I have done pretty well so far at figuring this kind of stuff out but I fear this task may be a little out of reach for me. I found this website in a search for help on this issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All, I'm looking to change the way or website is handled. Right now, it is running on 2 machines (Dell 2850 Xeon DC, 8Go Ram 6x36Go 15k HDD (2x Raid1 4x Raid 10). 1 machine is running Win2008R2 IIS7.5, php, AV and a FTP server, the other machine is running on Win2008R2, AV (Forefront) and MySQL 5.5. A third one (Dell 1950) is in standby in case of a failure. I also have a small DNS-323 for backups. Everything goes through a Cisco 1541 router. I'm looking to have a more secure and reliable setup and to include an Exchange server on top of this setup. I was thinking of having a load-balancing setup with 4 Dell 2950 QC with 8Go ram. I just don't know if it's v…

I'm very new with Windows server so if anyone can recommend articles to read that cover my questions, I'd appreciate it. I'm looking for a bit of a step by step "how to" on adding my new 2008R2 server to my 2003 domain then then making the 2008R2 machine the master and decomissioning the 2003 server. Thanks in advance! FYI So far I have installed 2008R2 on the new server and haven't done anything else. It's not joined to the 2003 domain and I have not added any server roles to the 2008R2 machine. (Currently my 2003 server had AD, DHCP, and DNS duties.)

Windows IT Pro The conventional wisdom goes something like this: Sales of Apple's iPad are so strong that they're cutting into PC sales. It makes sense, right? I mean, you see iPads all over the place. Those sales must be coming from somewhere. There's just one problem: There is zero evidence that the iPad has impacted overall PC sales at all. ...
