I had several Compaq drives in Compaq servers that started showing the
yellow icon in Insight manager.Upgrading the firmware returned them to
green status.Compaq wanted to try that before sending me a bunch of new
drives on warranty. While I was at it I upgraded all the other stuff
We reboot all of our Lotus Notes servers every Sunday night to keep from

We use hardware profiles for this.Many users have home networks, plug

If the subnets are local, no... if they are separated by wan links then
I'd put one at each location, unless it was a really small location with
less than 30 users. If you have Wins resolution going over wan links you
could get failures just due to the lack of bandwidth.

You get a lot more network throughput with switches because there wont be
any collisions with a switch. We use Cisco 2948 switches but we have a
fiber backbone switched through a Cisco 4000 fiber switch.If you dont
have any fiber then you can get all 10/100 a lot cheaper.
I've been on systems with Exchange, Groupwise and Notes. Currently
working with Notes R5.I dont really like any of them - they are all too

thing I really dislike is the monster client they all have. I am happy

After installing the service packs to Win2k, the files SP1.cab and SP2.cab
are in the Driver Cache folder along with driver.cab. When Windows
discovers devices it looks in these cabs to locate drivers for the
discovered devices.I have a bunch of IBM T21 and T22 laptops that dont
install all
Since I posted the first message, I discovered that the drivers are listed
in a file called drvindex.inf which is in the inf folder. From looking at
this file, it seems that Windows looks at this inf file first to see if the
named driver is available, and which cab files to look in. So on my
I have been reading up on that today and I think you are right - it will be
easier to reference a separate cab file.The drvindex.inf file gets
overwritten by new service packs so I'll have to leave ample documentation
on what I did here. This will be a good way to include newer printer

This is probably moot in the face of the HP/Compaq merger, but here is a
compilation of the comments regarding Dell versus Compaq servers.
Dell support has been good in the past. Dell is currently selling their
servers
at or just above cost
Would there be any advantage to running multiple instances? Or is there
some 3rd party software that requires it?I cant think of a good reason
right off.Why not just put up another server if you need more than one
sql?
The company has almost 100% Compaq servers. Now there is a
requirement to do a comparison between Compaq and Dell, probably because of
the cost difference. What experiences have you had with Dell -
reliability, support, upgrades etc?Anyone running them both in the same
network? I'm
I didnt do the cost comparison personally, but one of our people said it's
about half.We currently have a total of about 120 servers, but a lot of
them are getting pretty old and we are going to budget to replace them as
part of the Win2k conversion.I still have to do an evaluation per

We have hot swap power supplies in our Compaq's and I have had to replace
some of them but the servers never went down. I'd have to lose 2 on the
same server before the server went down and we keep some in house spares so
we stay up.But I am pretty much familiar with CPQ - I have done some

I havent seen the Compaq san yet but I read that they have sold more
systems than any other vendor, so I want to see why so many companies
bought them.
Derrenbacker,
Shut off IIS so you dont get Code Red.Go to Windows update and apply
all the updates. Run HFNetchk to see what else you need to patch.
Eventually get a network share set up so that you can do all of this
automatically when you build a new machine. You cant just do a default
install and

Make a ghost image of the system drive and burn it to cd for disaster
recovery. Make a new image whenever you install something on the server,
or a couple of times a year minimum. Get your boot floppies configured
and tested. Check out www.bootdisk.com for boot floppies.Make a

I usually set the pagefile to 1.5 times ram and put it on a different disk
than the OS if possible. Then monitor the machine after it is in
production. If the system is paging you either need more ram, or you have
an application with a memory leak. There are a lot of apps that will leak

Use Robocopy from the resource kit. Put the commands in a batch file and

We did a lot of research and finally leased a Canon 1150 Color Laser.
It's a 5 year lease and I think the lease is about $200 a month plus 15

This just appeared on another list. This fellow is using Nmap to port
scan the entire network. First you do a base scan and see if there are
any problems that need to be addressed. Once you get your network in an
acceptable state, you run another base scan to be used for comparison.
