Dedi Server + Widnows Server Web [Dedi Server + Widnows Server Web]

die-Sel — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 11:28:28 GMT

I have ordered a Dedi Server using Windows Server 2003 Web and for some reason i need to wait on MS sending me the license key before i can use the server.

When i log in via remote desktop, i get asked for USer ID etc, once it has accetped my Login it asks for the Key in a Windows script window.

Has anyone seen this before or nkow how long it takes for the key to come from MS. anyother time i have got a Windows Server is always been ready to go

Cheers folks

XP Shared Folder Issue [XP Shared Folder Issue]

die-Sel — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 16:38:38 GMT

Hey guys,

today i tryed to setup a shared folder at work so everyone would have access to it and its contents. However, clients in the US cannot access the share and local users can only open the files as Read Only.

All files are unprotected and are not read only documents but they still have issues.

Under sharing and secuirty i have set "Eveyone" full Read/Write access.

Any ideas

Hi guys,

my team has just been given its release roadmap for the next 6 months.Normally every one in the team have 1 or 2 things per release but over the next 6 months these will rise to about 7or 8 per release.

Am after a simple progam that is easy to use, lightweight, the abilty to track my progress with each single project, connect to Microsoft Outlook 2003 Contacts, if possible but this is not a requirment.

Have given Microsoft Project a go and I dont like it much to be honest. Smartworks 4.8 looks suitable but am sure someone uses something else

cheers

After a few days use it seems great, but the scroll wheel seems very poor, sometimes it doesnt even pick up movement. This was on a old Machine with XP but now on Vista with Dual Core, 2GB RAM its still the same. Its the only feature that seems to be causing a issue.

Anyone got the same problem?

I know of the companies who have this set up but we need our own for business purpose that we can tweak if possible. If this doesnt work then we will code it ourself but our boss doesnt want the resources spent on it so thats why hes looking at a off the shelf product.

Why in hell do Microsoft not support Firefox or Flock on there site. This is not the 1st time i have tryed to use certain parts of the MS/MSN/Live web site that simply wont work in anything other than IE.

Just like tonight, i wanted to give Desktop Mail a go but hey I cant get it to download since the download button doesnt work in Flock or Firefox, only IE.

Get a grip MS. IE is not the only browser that people use. Maybe you havent noticed the decline in IE use.
