Hi All,
I have a question? Can i have an ghost image for my server and if in a
situation of server crash i can rebuild it using ghost image.
But this all is to be done remotely, so i dont have any physical
access to the server. Can i have another server configured as dhcp so
that i can run this
The type of server is going to be of great importance. If you are planning
to do this with a Domain Controller - just don't. It's not worth the
trouble, and is technically not a sound practice.
If you are talking about a member server, are you thinking of imaging just
the base build and then

Hi Joe,
What version of Exchange are you using is it 2003? One of my user group members
just mentioned that he was limited to 2GB, however he had enforced prohibit
send and receive and tried setting the limit to 2.5GB when he receive the

Yes, I'm using Exchange 2003.
I guess if you are going to set limits, the biggest limit you can set is 1kb
less than 2Gb (2Gb = 2097152 Kb).
Maybe MS figures that anyone who's going to set a limit over two gigs really
shouldn't bother setting limits?
