Set each user up with a mapped drive that is mapped via a login script when they log into the network. Then reconfigure there My Documents folder to point to the mapped drive via the Properties page for it. It is easier to teach users to save there document to there My Documents folder than it is to teach them to back up every day/week. To the user it look like you are trying to make there life easier when in fact you are making your life easier. Since you are in a Windows only environment this should not be a problem. Also since the mapped drive is on the server the files will get backed up when ever the server backup runs.
I own one of the first Palm Vx's that was ever made. The first few hundred of the palm Vx had bad memory chips installed in them and after you put about 2-3 MB of data on the dambed thing the palm would crash and all attempts to get the thing going again would fail. The only way to get the palm going again was a hard reset and a resync of all your data. But geuss what as soon a you resynced your data and turned it back on it would crash again. In the end the only way that you could keep the thing going way to download a patch from palm that was finally released after 6-8 months of everyone that had one of the affected palms bitching and when the patch was finally released and you installed it you lost anywhere from.5-1.5 MB of storage space which realy sucks.
by far the best IT Audit I have ever had done for any company I have worked for was done by Unisys. They did a very thourogh audit of all the systems that we wanted audited and they gave us a very detailed report that included an explaination on how to fix what they found wrong. The best part about the audit was that they gave us the fixes and didn't make us pay them to fix everything and not disclose what was being fixed and why.
I have ever been told was by a Qwest sales person, They told me that they could give me a fiber run from there local CO(15 Miles away) to my former employers door. This obviously turned into the biggest lie I was ever told by a vendor.
Securepoint is a free Linux 2.4.x based firewall. You can find it at www.securepoint.de. Itlooks priety secure to me but it has one draw back, if you want to use the graphical administration software that comes with it you have to have a windows box, other than that it looks like it could rank right up there with a checkpoint-1 system. The system is administerable from the console if you do not want to use a windows box.
... gain on the desktop then every Linux user that has children should teach all there children to use Linux and only Linux, Micro$oft should not enter these children's lives while they are at home. Your children should have there own Linux box and if they break it they should be taught that they should try to fix it first before they come to you for help, that breaking it is part of the learning experience and that it is ok to break it. When your children ask you for help with there Linux box you should not hold there hand and do the task at hand for them you should set by there side and guild them only when they are severally lost. If every Linux user did this I believe that we could get Linux into the 'Mainstream' because our children would be the ones running the networks of tomorrow, writing the programs of tomorrow, and running the companies of tomorrow and Linux is what they would be familiar with not M$. One of the other things that we would have to do is convince our local public schools that they should teach Linux in the classroom, I know my local public schools do in a limited fashion already, and my local Community College does to.
If you have a print out of there web site or a print ad with that price on it they have to honor the price(if they don't it violates some laws i think) and if they wont one of there competitors will.
Acourding to a woman that works for Ford that I spoke with at the NAIAS Ford is going to release there Electric can called THINK late this summer or early fall.
Palm is not going to stop making there PDA's. I just recieved an email from them the other day stating the they have a new device comming out. It did not state what it was, or when it would be out but none the less it stated that they are getting ready to put out a new device. Would they pull out of the PDA market after releasing a new PDA, I think not.
that he was using Mandrake, and that his installation of Red Hat with the same kernel on his desktop was more stable. The only problem with that is that Mandrake takes the Red Hat Distro and repackages it with different software and some other minor changes. So there is no way for this guy to have had the same kernel on two seperate system and not had any problem on one, he must have done something wrong when he installed the server, I have several SuSE installs with uptimes in the 6-9 month range that run 2.4.x and they have no problems.
Sounds more like the head of Marketing at Microsoft than the Head of Security. Most of his answers were the same marketing BS that come out of Micro$oft every time you ask anyone from there a question. I just wish Micro$oft would give straight answers instead of Marketing BS.

You fool that POS from handspring was put out in responce to this. Which was produced in cooperation with Palm.
