Everything should be back up now
by Andrew Hodgson 25 Apr '09

Hi, As subject says, everything is now working, let me know if there are any issues. Under the hood we are now on Ubuntu Jaunty on different hardware, and we are using Postfix instead of Exim as the MTA underlying the lists. Hopefully it should all work. Thanks. Andrew.

Hi. At the moment, when I need to perform maintenance on the staff computers, such as running disk cleanup, removing cookies, or defrag, I have to go to each computer and perform it manually. Does anyone know of a way to automate this? Thanks Phil

strange message
by Philip 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

I recently added a client computer to the domain. Now, whenever the person logs on, a message pops up that says fAIL Note the case of the letters. there is absolutely nothing else on the screen. I have performed numerous searches, but none of the search engines will let me do a case sensitive search. Does anyone have any ideas where this message might be coming from, and how to eliminate it? Thanks. Phil

issue with zip files automatically opening
by Dave 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Hello, I've run in to a strange problem. I've got an xp Home machine that i'm working on, that when a zip file is clicked on no file download dialog box comes up the file is background downloaded and automatically opened. The machine is running ie7, has no viruses, and this issue occurs with add-ons loaded and when i run IE without any add-ons. I've googled compressed (zipped folders) for anything on this, didn't find anything, and checked 7zip, as this machine has that on it as well, again nothing. It is running the google toolbar but not sure if that's relevant. The zip file extension is the only extension that exhibits this behavior. The files are coming from a https server running apache 2.2.x if that is relevant. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks. Dave. David Mehler (MCSA 2003, MCP, Network+, A+) dave.mehler(a)gmail.com

terminal servers and sharepoint?
by Dave 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Hello, I might have a position where i have to interact with a terminal server, possibly installing apps or setting permissions to it, and or sharepoint, which i have very limited experience with. I was wondering if anyone had access to these? My screen reader for day to day use is jfw 10, though i do have NVDA on a thumb drive for situations where i have to go to a box for work and the machine doesn't have jfw and narrator won't do it. Advice or suggestions or if anyone has one i could check out i'd appreciate it. Thanks. Dave. David Mehler (MCSA 2003, MCP, Network+, A+) dave.mehler(a)gmail.com
