route email via ISp's smtp server

sorbs-duhl list the good customer's exchange server 2003 IP as dynamic

so they can't send emails,

I called their ISP to change the PTR / reverse dns record to something meaningful.

at the same time, route their emails to the ISP smart host.

the smart host is configured on the administrative group's smtp connector,

it is not the smtp of the server

security tab missing from a NTFS folder

Mary moved the folder away from one volume to another.

But she got an error not finishing the moving.

as a result, security tab missing from that NTFS folder.

I searched the internet, unlocker 1.8.6 claims that it can fix it by breaking some black hands holding onto the folder in question.

when I just about download it, the download site warned me this is a virus/trojan/malware.

oh, dear, I nearly got tricked.

start from beginning, use system internals process explorer, and handle
handle identified user admin is holding onto that folder. the process is explorer.
now the solution is to close explorer by logging off windows

gparted to resize an ide windows 2003 74.5 gb hard drive

i downloaded gparted iso, burned to iso.

boot from cd, and re-sized to 65 GB. guess what, it took about 1 minute or even less.

prior to that I did scandisk , jkdefrag and moved lots of stuff out of the disk, only 26.7GB of data.

Resize image to fit onto a smaller disk

http://www.storagecraft.com/kb/questions.php?questionid=88
\
\
For example the original disk volume was 100GBytes with 60Gbytes of used space. You wish to restore the image to a disk volume that is only 80Gbytes, and the ShadowProtect image (*.spf) file is only 40Gbytes. Because the original disk volume is 100Gbytes you cannot restore it to 80Gbytes disk volume, even though there was only 60Gbytes of data on it.


At the time of this article, Shadow Protect cannot dynamically resize the image to enable restoration to the smaller volume. This feature is planned to be included in a future release.

I am so disappointed again,

here is what I got 74.5 GB IDE hdd, with 51GB data

I tried to restore to an IBM x226 server with 67.5GB adaptec raid 1, no luck.

it just wont let me create partition to restore to.





Solution:



Steps to shrink to the partition so it can be restored to a smaller drive.



1. Boot the latest Recovery CD into the Vista Based Recovery Environment (You do not need to restore using Vista, you simply need to use it to shrink the partition)



2. Mount the image you wish to restore as writable. (This is also called Exploring the Backup) You will find the Explore Backup option in the left hand menu under Tasks. To mount an image as writable uncheck the read only box.



3.Go to the Dismount Backup Image also under Tasks and dismount the volume, as you do so, you will see an option to shrink the volume. Select this box and the software will shrink the partition as much as possible.



A new incremental backup file will be created, this file with have the smaller partition information and can be restored to the smaller drive.



If restoring Windows XP or 2003 you will want to reboot your computer and boot into the Legacy Environment for restore. To restore simply select the newly created incremental file as the image you wish to restore.

run myob / commac h & s on windows 2003 terminal server

run myob / commac h & s on windows 2003 terminal server ...

I get this going a couple years ago.

now it stopped working because of new myob updates?

anyway I can run myob on the TS as administrator.

oddly, normal TS can't run it via a shortcut to the fileserver which a installation of MYOB seated.

gotta remember this: run the network.ex installation, well, for each TS user?

also the security warning, use file://servername/commacc.exe install of file://ip-address/commacc.exe
