It's good that you're not concerned about security. It takes 5-10 minutes to crack WEP encryption.

I really like some of the stuff in pfsense... other stuff I like Untangle better. For the setup we have right now I'd like to have one of each... Untangle for the outside firewall, pfsense for the internal.

Those look like adapters to run two network connections through a single Cat-5 cable... Two connections go in one end, a single cable connects the two, and two network connections come out the other end. They make these adapters so that you can run two devices on a single (presumably already...

How many Microsoft engineers does it take to change a light bulb? None... They just redefine darkness as the new standard.

Naw... the servers can host lots of clients, but there are tons of different roles that need to be done. And at least for what we're doing we have to have separate servers for each. Exchange, Office Communicator, Media gateway, edge transport, etc.

I'm kinda at a loss to explain why a DVD drive is required when the download is well under 750 megs.... *boggles* We're trying to get an early certification in Microsoft's Unified Communications Server... for an office that has 25 employees we have to deploy FIVE servers. *boggles*

System Requirements * Supported Operating Systems: Windows Server 2008; Windows Vista 64-bit Editions Service Pack 1 * Operating System for Installing Management Tools: The 64-bit editions of Windows Vista® SP1 or later, or Windows Server® 2008. * PC - x64 architecture-based...

I had that issue for a while... Something is stealing focus and when you want to click on something then the first click gets eaten (Selects the app you want) and you have to click again (or double click) It bugged the hell out of me for about two weeks and then disappeared. I'm guessing...

'Documents and Settings' (among others) no longer exists. I believe the file that you're looking at is just to keep poorly written programs from writing directly to those locations instead of using system variables to find the correct place. The folder you're looking for has been 'Users'...

I'm not sure which ones we have... and I'd have to reboot my machine and hope it tells me the name when it's running. All I know is I have one labeled 'sata' because it's the only one of the four that sees sata drives. Try a few... I believe Hiren's has several different tools to try.

We do this pretty regularly at work. There are lots of different tools out there... some work better than others. We have 4 different ones at work and haven't run across a computer that none of the 4 would work on.

Re: Run Phone line through PC Switchvox (Or any of the other asterisk-based software PBX's) with no outside lines will do that. 1 PC and a few phones. You can get an analog card to plug into the PC with 4 phone ports and just use analog phones. Check out digium 4 port fxs cards at either...

Re: Run Phone line through PC VOIP? Why didn't you say so? It depends how much money you want to throw at it... Simplest/cheapest single-line solution: Sign up for Vonage, Broadvoice, or another similar service, plug an analog phone into the adapter and go. You can go with multiple lines...

I don't see an RTM version on our technet, only RC from the beginning of the month.

I'm running it on my laptop joined to a Windows 2003 domain... works fine. There is a bug if the first part of the domain name is longer than 15 characters, but there's a hotfix for that.
