Feedback

Hi Guys... I've been listening for a few shows now. I write alot of the
fake commercials Casey runs on SciFi Surplus.

In your last show, you commented on Netbooks and their return rates. I've
been looking at Netbooks for a while now, and what I keep coming back to is
that it seems the ones with better specs come with XP by default. So, when
we think about return rates, I'm wondering how many people are buying
Netbooks with a Microsoft OS, nuking it, and installing Ubuntu or something
like that?

The reason I don't already have a Netbook is because the price gap between
a mid-level Netbook and a low end laptop isn't much at all, and I can't
decide which would be the better purchase. I wonder if you or your
listeners have had any experiences with Netbooks that really makes them
stand out versus a cheap laptop?

Keep up the good work guys!

-Bob

Find who has files open in Windows Server 2008

Posted Mon, 02/09/2009 - 12:56 by Mike

I’m sure that I’m not the only one who has become accustomed to opening up Computer Management on a server, and looking in the shared folders in order to find out who has a file open. Well, that was Windows Server 2003. Now that we have Windows Server 2008, it’s just a little bit different.

Here’s how you do it.

In Server Manager, expand Roles, then expand File Services, and click on “Share and Storage Management”.

Server 2008: The Installer has insufficient Privileges to modify this file

Posted Mon, 01/05/2009 - 22:01 by Mike

Sometimes the easiest things can be so difficult. I was just trying to install a simple update package, "Update Rollup 4 for Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1" to be exact. The installer returns the error "The Installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file: C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\RelNotes.htm".

Mike's Note
I'm sure that by now you've heard that Exchange server 2007 is only 64 bit. Of course you know that there's a 32bit version for evaluation, but it's not supported in production, but comes in pretty handy if you're extending the schema. What I wasn't aware of is that Exchange Server 2007 won't install on Windows Server 2008 unless you have the installation media with SP1 integrated.

You'll get an error that "Exchange 2007 cannot be used with the version of Windows operating system running on this computer".

Documentation? What good is that?

Posted Mon, 11/17/2008 - 13:29 by Mike

OldBooks Good documentation is really nice to have. I did a Server Migration, or transition this last Friday (the 14th). We went from Server 2003 to Server 2008, and now I'm realizing that my documentation was a little out of date.
