I have a WIndows Server 2003 unit which runs DHCP. Lately, no one is able to connect to our WiFi access point; and even plugging an Ethernet patch cable into the wall usually results in no IP address being assigned to that device...so no INternet. I'm not that familiar with …

Just changed out internet provider, including our 5 static IPs. Reconfigured sonic wall, and basically everything works (Internet, email, etc) but not Outlook Web Access / outlook anywhere. In fact, typing the usual mail.domain.com/exchange simply brings up search results now, rather than trying to connect. Our name servers are still …

We run Exchange 2003 as a virtual server using Hyper-V. Recently accidentally formated the drive on the host server containing the virtual servers, including this exchange server.

My company uses a single server to host 3 virtual servers. This post probably sounds like it should be in the servers board, but I believe my question could apply to any standard Windows system. Anyway, the 'virtual' servers data and OS are all stored on a drive on the …
