Having problems with server backups.

Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

Please recommend a good backup app.

It's a small business network running NT4, and we need the ability to also get MS exchange v5.5 stuff.

Thanks.

I'm also told that when exchange is initially installed, you are given an option to name the store. The name of the store in this case is the name of the company. Considering that, I am told that the only way to get that store name out of the headers is to reinstall exchange renaming the store or ...

Our company just changed its name.

We use exchange for email. We need to change the domain name in exchange so that the old company name does not appear anywhere in the headers.

I know I can set up multiple domains in exchange, but the main domain exchange was installed with still shows up in the ...

Two of the computers on my network are HP pavilion desktops.

I have a linksys router on a small home network distributing cable access.

With one specific PC (running winME if that matters), the linksys router keeps assigning 2 IP's.

Why?

IMHO, the idea behind net folders (in MS outlook) is fantastic for organizations with employees sharing information, calendars, etc.

Even using the boolean operators and reversing the term to place a word with more than 4 letters as the first word does not work.

The search routine within the forums seems to be somewhat poor.

For example, I tried to search for a popular item: net folders.

When entered with or without quotes, the search errored-out stating that it did not meet the minimum of 4 letters ("net").

Tried "net+folders" - no luck.

There's many different ways.
