Well, my dad ( 76 years old ) has the Epson WorkForce 500, and is using the USB connection, so I cannot answer to the wireless. But for an old man that is not very computer literate, he works the Epson just fine. Uses the scanner to scan stamps for his stamp collecting club, and sells excess on

The SSL cert must be for whatever address your users will use from the outside (the inside will work too if you set up a split DNS structure). The site really depends on how you set it up. Could be the default, or possibly something else if you customize it. I set ours up 4 or 5 years ago

Yes. One part of this picture is to simplify. She's got three machines currently between the printing, copying and faxing. As for the laser option, well it becomes quite an initial expense in comparison to purchase the printer and a set of toners. I think the return would be a couple two to three

The brother I picked up from Comp USA was 299 and the HP one comparable was 399 for b/w but the HP color was 499 with 150 off. The Brother scans nice from multiple computers has a 35 page ADF and is fast and quiet. -Original Message- From: Ben Scott [mailto:mailvor...@gmail.com] Sent:

No but that's a thought, what I did notice that was odd, was that when I goto www.microsoft.com the rule shows the IP address not the name. I can resolve by name from ISA and it is pointing to the same internal DNS server (that was my first inclination). I know the rule works because I have

Well it's still required post 2003. You shouldn't be doing OWA without SSL anyway. Outlook 2007+ and Exchange 2007+ use SSL connectivity even while on the LAN for certain things - autodiscover, address book download, web services, etc. Thanks, Brian Desmond br...@briandesmond.com c -

Careful numbering during installation is a must in this case, I think. And, while in the article they use HTTP for file access, I think an iSCSI stack would be really cool, along with DRBD (under Linux), carp/ggate/gmirror (under FreeBSD) or some other technology for replication/HA. Kurt On

Absotively you should be using SSL for OWA. I was just referring to RPC over https, the use of which for external mail clients might be obviated in Exchange 2010 if the reviews are correct. We're still on 2003, so I wasn't aware of the Exchange 2007 bits. Thanks, RS On Fri, Sep 4, 2009 at 6:43
