Hi John: Good for you John. Sometime these guys at MS get just too cocky. I am embroiled in a problem with my IIS server. After downloading and installing the latest Server2003 File System Objects package, my IIS stopped supporting ASP Two weeks later ASP still did not work so finally I phoned MS. After a numbers of visits, about 5 hours logged, two senior techs have ran out of solutions, on the incident and a third fellow will be phoning tomorrow. So far ASP will now display a web site but can not connect to a SQL server yet. There is a third piece to the puzzle that the ASP mail no longer works but as it was only just discovered they will not allow it as part of the single incident. Considering the problem was cause by one of their products it seems that I am paying for their mistake. The last time I phoned for help with product (1998-1999) from MS was when an IE version crashed (timed out in download... as their servers were over taxed) half way through an install. I had to re-install the server to fix that one. It was on my main NT server and again the incident was caused by one of their applications. Now I fell better. Well you should have everything running by June... race you.

I always ran WHS on a RAID system which all by itself eliminated part of the problem. It ruenrd out that I also ran it on a Single Large Volume, which eliminated the rest of the problem. However those two "fixes" only work up to slightly less than 2 terabytes of storage at which point you have to add more storage to the pool. When you do that all hell breaks loose. Microsoft is madly minimizing the danger but it isn't as small as they would have us believe. I have no idea how I could have done so... ;-) but I managed to piss them off and they banned me from their forum as well. 8-0 John W.
