Exmerge and exchange 2003

exmerge would dump pst files on c: drive, if a network share is not available.

Emerge doesn't like network drive letter. please use UNC path instead.

Dell dual xeon R410

Dell dual xeon R410 entered the market cheaper than rivals IBM and HP.
the rack-mount kit is quite easy to clip onto the rack. It seems easier than IBM.
the delivery package is a little bit bigger than IBM's. It came from Malay after 9 days of online order.

It can support 4 SATA hard drives. I would say its a very promising product so far.

SBS 2008 on Xen Server 5.0.0 update 3

yeah, Xenserver 5.5 is better. but for other reasons have to stick to version 5.0.0.

SBS 2008 is x64 with the normal windows server stuff, plus exchange 2007. The live and forefront are trial (what a bait). wsus and sharepoint 3.0 included with sql 2005 express?

C: drive must be 60GB.
It doesn't like more than 1 NIC.

When xentools installed, it may be necessary to delete the previous non-present realtek nic

Fix-my-network wizard is quite useful when things tungled up.

It is said always to use wizards in SBS 2008.

upgrade W7 RC x86 to W7 RTM

need at least 16GB free space on C: drive. also need to do a trick editing ini file to get the upgrade running. otherwise it will refuse to run citing version not upgradable.

ChrisTV and W7 RC

yes, chrisTV still works after the upgrade.

IE8 and sonicwall SSL VPN

get this working with w2003 terminal server.

W7 RC

upgraded vista ultimate to W7 RC ulimate. need a restart to continue the upgrade. it seemed slower than vista to the contrary. w7 can't see my video card, run it as VGA.
