There is a serious problem with SBS 2003. 1) There is a dll register problem but that is solved wit a MS fix. 2) and very importantant. The Exchange server 2003 included with SBS 2003 no longer supports connectors other than the basic ones (for example SMTP). Even the MS notes connector is not supported. In my case this is problematic (glad I did not upgraded yet) my GFI faxmaker fax software that installs a connector in Exchange 2003 no longer works due this. According to GFI this is a bug or deliberate limitatation from MS in Exchange 2003 (version in SBS 2003), and is true for all third party cnnectors. MS has not responded to this yet. I also strongly advise you to verify every software (Like backup software) you wanna use on Windows 2003 that is is supported Erwin -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] Namens John W.

I am looking again at the MS action pack subscription. http://members.microsoft.com/partner/salesmarketing/partnermarket/action pack /actionpackus.aspx My reading of the license indicates you are purchasing the right to use all the products for a period of 1 year, which for $299 is pretty cheap I think. Of course when the year is up you must purchase another subscription, which assumes that it is available etc. Still... it provides a year's exposure to all this stuff for peanuts. It is all 2003 however. Does anyone have experience with this stuff? Is it ready for prime time? I have a server machine pretty much sitting idle - I wanted to set up IIS and publish web sites from my office but am terrified of being hacked and the learning curve for security looks like a time suck on my daily business. So there it sits. Has anyone purchased this package? Comments? Observations? Warnings? Recommendations? John W.
