  1. Well, they also do the VPC-PD10 which has similar optics, and cheaper. Also, non of that was mentioned as a factor ;-)
  2. These are pretty good: Digital Camera | Waterproof Full HD Camera | VPC-CA100 | Xacti SANYO
  3. Aye, and t'internet were nowt but digital fields...
  4. wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

  6. Threadnomancy! I hope that, as the original posts were in 2007, that they'd have this set by now ;-)
  7. What about the chair?
  8. We had trouble with ours, tracked it down to some kind of auth issue. What we did was create an unauthenticated relay on the exchange server, which was locked down by IP addresses allowed to send across it. This means the printers just throw smtp traffic at the exchange server and it accepts all it's given. Might be a solution?
  9. We use exagrids boxes, the bit level deduplication is epic. Data Deduplication Solutions for Disk Backup &#38 Disaster Recovery We've currently got 55,448.23 GB of backup data, deduped to 8,345.75 GB of actual data, but the backup software is unaware of the deduplication, so just sees a lot of backups available. Thye're pricey, but a smaller box gets you a lot of usage.
  10. Stuart will tell you definitively, but I don't think the ZD will accept a SAN cert, as it wants it's own from a CSR. So really you'd want two Standard ssl certs, one for the zd and one for the smoothwall. then future projects like HAP+ and Moodle may be able to be under a wildcard cert for external publishing :-)
  11. For internal machines, yes a domain signed cert is fine. For external ones what you need is a cert that comes from a common trusted root CA. Personally we use goDaddy, but I know there's a few CAs offering free ssl certs for schools, a quick forum search should scare them up. Don't worry about the domain name being internal, the cert just says that the trusted ca says this site is who they claim to be.
  12. You'll also need to set internal and external names for all these services, mostly in the excahnge sheel: Exchange 2007/2010 Web services and Autodiscover Ultimate Troubleshooting Guide And in the EMC set the services attached to each cert by going to 'server configuration' and clicking the servername for the server you want to manage. then clicking the cert and attaching services been having this fun with loadbalanced CAS roles recently ;-)
  13. As an example, we use our DCs as our nameservers, and the file servers for replicas. This means if the file server local to you is down, then you can still access the name space to get to another copy of the data. A namespace can contain multiple subfolders, these all appear at the same root, even if they're located on seperate machines. ALL servers running with replication or namespaces need the DFS role installed. Also, if you're going to run DFSR, run the 2008 version. and make sure it's actually running it, not the 2003 compatible one. it is MILES better.
  14. that's no comma, that's a fully operational battle-apostrophe! ..and no, it's not needed
  15. HP do a gig POE injector: HP Single-port 802.3at Gigabit PoE Midspan Power Supply | Ebuyer.com As mentioned, over-speccing on ports is probably smart. How are the switches linked at the mo? the 1910 lines include SFP module spaces, is a fibre link a possibility?
  16. Ahem... "did you see that ludicrous display last night?"
  17. Hey! Hope the forum's useful for you!

    $25.00? I'd rather wipe it and start again
  19. Did you read the whole post..?
  20. that is not a laptop. anything that would kill you by being on your lap is instantly not a laptop.. ..I'm looking at you too, Alienware
  21. Just wanted to put a not up about these guys, who I've been talking to very recently. After trying load abalncing Exchange CAS roles using MS NLB, we discovered severe performance issues - and it looked like a hardware loadbalancer would be the way to go. However after a bit of hunting I found these guys, who gave me a 30 day trial of their Loadbalancer Virtual Appliance - which is pretty damn awesome, and I thoroughly recommend! However the impressive bit was the licencing situation. I was a bit confused by some of the terms, and unsure which version to buy. So gave them a ring, and Richard Halcrow, one of their sales guys ran me through all the options. And explained that the difference is only licence code locked features (so upgrade is possible at any time), and that the upgrade cost is the difference between the individual versions prices. I was gobsmacked, having being bled for cash for even minor version changes before! So in the end I got a Pair of Virtual appliance loadbalancers for £1500... All in all, if you're looking for loadbalancing (either for resiliency or performance) then I'd recommend giving them a look. # Load Balancer .org - Virtual Appliance
  22. Oooh, I did the same thing - chucking winsuite was the best thing ever! I'd say start from one of microsofts common scenarios and work with it to fit your needs: Download: Group Policy Common Scenarios Using GPMC - Microsoft Download Center - Download Details They're really quite good for a starting point
