1st place: Quickly resolve unknown Event IDs by Tim Fenner
Find out how to use www.EventID.net to quickly resolve your Event
IDs. Site members submit and share their experiences with the Event
IDs they resolve; plus the site allows nonmembers to search through
the posts by both the Event ID number and source. And now, Microsoft
joins the bandwagon. |

2nd place: Round-robin DNS with different subnets by Randy Brown
Recently I set up a round-robin DNS with three entries for the same
host using three different IP addresses. I turned on the "Enable
Round Robin" option at the DNS server, but when I attempted to use
different machines to access the round-robin host name, each machine
went to the same server. The "round robin" part of the DNS did not
seem to be working. Here's how I fixed it. |

3rd Place: Recover Exchange public folders through OWA by Steve Spieler
Sometimes Exchange users accidentally delete public folders that they
then need back. Using the Recover Deleted Items wizard to recover
these folders can be a very useful tool; however, it doesn't always
work. As an alternative, find out how you can recover deleted items
in Outlook Web Access. |
