Is there a way of getting it onto a client desktop?
Fed up of coming into the server room to add/change/delete users :rolleyes: 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 :rolleyes: ) |
Grab your Exchange install CD, run setup, choose custom select administrator only. Thats all there is to it. :-)
|
Thanks
Theres me having "browsed" the CD to look for extra options :rolleyes: Didn't occur to me to "install" exchange server onto a client!!! Doh! Thanks m8 :D How do I do it for IIS 5 then? ;) |
Lan
Tried that :rolleyes: Guess it won't install on W98 :rolleyes: |
Puff
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. http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/download.html At least you won't have to keep walking to the server when ever you nee to admin it. Scoobs |
use dameware nt utilities to remote connect to the server. easy as pie:D
|
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. |
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 :eek: Easiest option is a nice new W2K Pro w/station for me :D :D :D :) |
What's this terminal services then?
|
VNC viewer works a treat.
|
I agree on the VNC bit, great tool. :) And it's free. :D

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.
|
Which part of 'Remote Control Software' didn't you understand????;););)
I remote into our work servers on a daily basis and all of our clients too. Sod all that getting up malarkey:D:D Cheers, Nick :) |
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? Stefan |
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... :) Willie |
dunno what VNC stands for good ol' NetMeeting is pretty good for remote control/file transfer and it's free :)
