I recently added a new server to my company's org. After installing Exchange 2003 and SP2 for Exchange, I ran Microsoft update and brought everything up to date and started moving mailboxes across to it on that night. The next day I started getting complaints that OWA was not working for some users. I quickly [...]

Damn hackers.
I use the superb free services at freedns.afraid.org to control the DNS for ukstokes.com. This is so I can point www.ukstokes.com and my blog to my webhost, and mail.ukstokes.com and other subdomains to my broadband connection at home, for hosting e-mail for my domain, and other smaller websites that don't need to be reliable. This [...]

Sharepoint 2007 Beta
I've been asked to install Sharepoint Server 2007 beta for evaluation by part of the business. I'm also pretty interested myself to see how it integrates into Office 2007, and I'm pretty sure we have the beta of that lying around somewhere.

Blackberry stuff
I've spent a fair amount of time this week deploying a Blackberry server and handsets for my new company (well, not my company, but you know what I mean). I haven't installed a Blackberry Enterprise Server since version 3.6, we are now on version 4.1 and the installation routine has been updated and simplified slightly [...]

Crap domains
A while ago when the .eu level domains were made available to the public, I tried to register www.benstokes.eu and www.stokes.eu. My application for www.stokes.eu was unsuccessful, which annoyed me as that was the one I really wanted.
