Question

Is there a way of getting it onto a client desktop?

Fed up of coming into the server room to add/change/delete users

I've tried before but not got anywhere & I can't be ar$ed using PC Anywhere to do it every time

Thanks



(Probably obvious but I've missed it )

Grab your Exchange install CD, run setup, choose custom select administrator only. Thats all there is to it. :-)

Your right, I don't think it will install on 98. However, Why not put vnc on the Exchange server, and then control it from your PC.

At least you won't have to keep walking to the server when ever you nee to admin it.

No it won't work on 98. NT 4 Workstation minimum, Win2K Pro is my preferred choice.

You can load "personal" IIS services on a Win2k Pro box and then use the MMC snapin to manage a remote IIS server. Is your IIS 5 internet or intranet? If you have a firewall in the way you'll need to configure that to allow the data through. Another option is to load terminal services on the IIS 5 server (in administration mode) and use the terminal services client to admin the server.

Cool

I'm getting lazy & going from my office to the "server" room is getting a chore

The servers are also going to be relocated to the basement (nice & cool) and I'm b'd if I'm going up & down 3 flights of stairs to change someone's mail options

Easiest option is a nice new W2K Pro w/station for me

I agree on the VNC bit, great tool. And it's free.

On your Win2k server you can install Terminal services. Go to add/remove programs, windows components and you'll see near the bottom Terminal services. Select it and install. When installing choose administration mode. It also installs (if you choose) the client files. Put those client files on your workstation (any Windows flavour). You can then connect to the server console and admin it as though you were there. It's a Citrix type service. If you have Win2K server it's free for admin mode.

TS is very good but the downside is you can't see the server console as you can with VNC / PCNoWhere / NetSupport etc.

Puff,

Don't f@ny around with TS just to run the management utils. As suggested get the VNC utils and use them to remote into the server console. I can even remote into the works LAN from home using it - it's the dog's danglies. Only pain in the @rse is not being able to do a file transfer, but that's small annoyance.

How did you get on with that Outlook problem?

Hey Puff working on your fooked exchange dbases today for you. Sorry about the delay...

VNC rules especially the webclient. Access your servers from home and the only piece of software you need is a web browser...
