Well, I could filter it out at the level of the Exchange server, provided I got around to installing Exchange. <grin />
Actually rebuilding my developmental server is something I'm in the process of doing in my "spare" time. Just over a week ago my server decided to do a spontaneous reboot twice. On the second reboot my C drive was "missing" went into the BIOS and found that it was reporting no drive installed. Tried reinstalling the drive, no go. Opened the case, pulled the drive, popped it in the firewire case and walked it downstairs to my computer. Plugged in the firewire box and my computer had no problems with the drive. Diagnosis, new motherboard, instead we got a new box that I've been moving the drives to. There is an unfortunate by product of the new security features. I couldn't install a new OS, security settings in the boot sector wouldn't let me write ntldr. Since I didn't want to wipe the drive until I recovered a few files I've had use partition magic to resize the partition and create a new boot sector for installing an OS. What joy. But I've recovered all the data, cleaned up some back-ups that needed sorting out and am ready to reinstall a server OS. Then the computers here will be able to talk to each other again. Sometimes being a two person shop is a PIA. Sure would be nice to have a real systems admin instead of wearing that hat as well. My partner maybe a good backend developer but he knows squat about networks so guess who gets to wear that hat along with the rest. I'm debating about whether I should reinstall Windows Server 2003 or go with SBS Server 2003 (need .NET and want to play with the SharePoint Team Services apps which will only run on those two systems). I'm inclined to go with SBS 2003 but it is still beta code. Granted it is RC and will probably go gold fairly soon since they are shipping time bombed preview kits to partners but still beta. Installing or even reinstalling server OS isn't a problem now that I have the drive situation straightened out, or at least I hope it is resolved. Nothing like learning under pressure. Cheryl D.
