Andrew, thanks I thought the default used to be higher. Glad to know I am not going crazy.

Earlier versions used a 12GB partition as default, later versions seem to decrease that for some crazy reason. With all the updates etc, you really need 20 GB minimum, I tend to go for 30GB. Thanks.

Ryan, thanks I got it booted by changing the boot order to boot from the CD first. I booted into the Dell 2900 System build utility and had a sighted friend run through the setup screens to do an OS install. After putting in the Windows product key the build utility says prepareing to install with a progress indicator that gets up to 51 percent and then asks for the following CD: dell open server 5.3 I looked at the driver section for Power Edge 2900 on the http://support.dell.com site and could not find that CD image.

any juniper srx users out there?
by Scott Granados 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Hi, so I have a configuration from a Juniper srx210 I'm having issue with. I have the source nat defined, interfaces defined, zone rules defined and can't get traffic to work outbound. My source nat rule-set shows matches (many) so I think that part is working. Anyone familiar with these devices and could review my config and see what I'm missing. I'm pretty new to Junos, especially on firewalls, so could definitely use some pointers. Thanks Scott

She manages about four or five shared calendars. As part of her job duties she has to find open time slots on all of those calendars. The way to do this in Outlook 2007 is to use overlay mode which you can get to by selecting the calendars you want in the navigation pane and choosing "Overlay" from the view menu. Visually what this does is put appointments from all selected calendars into one view so that empty time slots are very obvious. The problem we are having is that JFW is only reading appointments from the last selected calendar. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get Overlay mode to work in JFW? I have tried this with JFW 10 and 11 with no luck.

Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: blind-sysadmins-bounces(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Frank Ventura Sent: 28 January 2010 13:24 To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Using Outlook 2007/Exchange 2007 with shared calendars and JFW Hi all, I have a client of mine who is using Outlook 2007 with JFW 10. She manages about four or five shared calendars. As part of her job duties she has to find open time slots on all of those calendars. The way to do this in Outlook 2007 is to use overlay mode which you can get to by selecting the calendars you want in the navigation pane and choosing "Overlay" from the view menu. Visually what this does is put appointments from all selected calendars into one view so that empty time slots are very obvious. The problem we are having is that JFW is only reading appointments from the last selected calendar. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get Overlay mode to work in JFW? I have tried this with JFW 10 and 11 with no luck.
