- Crm >> MSCRM w/ SBS2kHi,
If I have an existing domain, can I add SBS2k to the domain
as one of the domain's DC's?
Or do I have to create a new domain for SBS2k and trust it to my existing?

- Money >> Direct debit loan paymentsI've searched through the help/etc but can't seem to find a solution
to this...
I've just bought Money 2003, and have set up two loan accounts. I pay
a set amount to each of these accounts each month from my current
account. I've put both loans in the debt reduction planner, and both
loan payments appear in the bills and deposits screen. The only
problem is that I make the loan payments as direct debits. The
'payment method' in Money is set on 'Write cheque' and there does not
seem to be any way to change this.
This means I have to manually confirm each payment every month. Is
there any way of telling Money that the amounts should be
automatically be credited to my loan accounts? It manages to
automatically debit other bills like council tax.

- Money >> Manually enter & clear checksI want to use this software like you would Quickbooks - input your checks and
deposits one by one, clear them as they clear, and then have a report of
where my money is going. (rent, groceries, etc...) The problem is, I don't
want to pay my bank $10 or whatever a month to synchronize with MS Money when
I can input the information myself. I have tried and tried and I can't
figure it out. Is there any way to manually put in all the info without
synchronizing with my bank online?

- Crm >> report for billing service calls?Hi,
In our case with have 3 types of support contracts: (we are a consulting
company)
1. Yearly contract (1 bill at the start of the contract, its for a recurring
system checkup support)
2. Per user request, and we bill the hours works each month (price fixed by
hour, eg 80$/h)
3. Prepayed hourly bank (the client pay for 200h of support and we send each
month the usage and how many hours remain in bank)
Generally a client takes the contract 1 and 2 or 1 and 3.
For the contract 1, there is no problem to bill the client.
For the contract 2:
I want to bill the client directly from MSCRM . So I'm looking for a report
which display all the billable hours and the support request linked to these
hours.
I want a summary report (name of the incident call, number of hours, rate,
total in $) and a detailed report (action takes by incident)
I don't see the first report in the report list, but I see the second
(detailed list)
For the contract 3:
I want to send a report to the client with the total hours consummed in the
month (by incident), the available hours at the start and at the end of the
month.
Where can I find these reports if any exists?
if not, does it possible to create these reports easily?
thanks.

- Compact >> Using SqlCE 2.0 from alternative .NET development environmentsIs it feasible to access SqlCE 2.0 using the classes in
System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll from development environments other than
Visual Studio.NET 2003? I know its technically possible to do so, so
I'm more interested in the legal aspects.
From what I understand, this assembly is installed as part of the
VS.NET install, and not as part of the .NET CF re-distributable
install. Is there any other way to obtain it other than having a VS.NET
license, and what are the redistribution rules surrounding it? For
example, if a developer with a valid VS.NET license created an
application (using either VS.NET or another CF.NET compatible
language), are they free to distribute this assembly?

SBS >> Add Licence Wizard - Chris Puckett
Hi there
A couple of weeks ago I posted regarding an issue with the Add Licence
Wizard. Basically any of the functions of the Wizard brought up the
"Unspecified Error" Message when you click on the button. I received a
comprehensive set of advice from Chris Puckett (Thank You) from Small
Business Server Support with relation to checking the winsbsprogramdir
environment variable and that the relevant folder exist at "C:\Program
Files\Windows for Small Business Server" folder.
Sorry it took me a while but I can only access the machine after office
hours (6pm) and before the backup runs (8pm) and when I tie this into my
schedule things get a little complicated.
The licence folder does exist within the Windows for Small Business folder
and I have now corrected the environment variable to point at the correct
location which in this case is C:\Windows for Small Business. This didn't
help!
I then tried a re-install followed by a system restart but still get the
same error message.
By comparing the user rights to the folder with my own SBS Server I noticed
that are different so I have set them to be the same (added access to Domain
Admins and a couple of others)but that also doesn't appeared to have helped.
Any further advice would be appreciated or a nudge in the direction of how
this thing is supposed to work.

SBS >> Add Licence Wizard - Chris Puckett
Hi Martyn,
Thanks for posting here!
I understand the problem to be as follows:
When you click any of the wizards in the Licensing snap-in, you get an
"Unspecified error".
If I'm out of base, please feel free to let me know.
In some cases, the C:\Windows for Small Business Server or C:\Program
Files\Windows for Small Business Server folder does not exist. Please check
whether this is the point. If so, please copy the C:\Program Files\Windows
for Small Business Server folder from another known good SBS computer,
register the actwizdll.dll file, and test this issue again.
To register the actwizdll.dll file:
1. Click Start and click Run.
2. Type the following command and click OK.
Regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Windows for Small Business
Server\Licensing\actwizdll.dll"
3. Click OK when succeeded.
If the problem persists, please check error info described in
SBSMSI-Licensing.log, errorlog.txt and eventlog.txt under C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Integration\Windows Small Business Server 2003\Logs.
If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know. And I look
forward to your update.

- SBS >> We have moved addressHi
We have moved postal address, and I need to change the default information
SBS2003 fills in on the 'Address' tab each time a new user is added.
Anyone know how to do this?
This information was in-putted during SBS setup, so it must be stored and
called upon from somewhere?!
I cpuld go and change all 59 Users but I'm guessing there is a policy or
something? If I have to change each user for now, so be it - but looking
forward I'd like to know each time I add a user the Address tab displays the
correct info.
Thanks for any help anyone out there can offer?!

The code pukes on the RenderStream with the above error. I guess I am
not sure I understand how an image file format report should have
streams to begin with. The report as it is defined does not contain
any images or streamable stuff. I can execute similar code (swaping
the format and device info) for the exact same report and parameters
into HTML4.0, CSV, PDF, Excel, MHTML formats just fine. In fact, I
don't get anything back in the stream so I never fall into the If
aResSteams.Length <> 0 logic at all with these formats. It only
happens with the image file format. What is happening here???
Log file has the following:

As I know, when I close the PDA it don't really closed my program like in PC.
I wrote a program that write to a log file every second using a timer.
When I closed the PDA, while my program was running and open it after 5
minutes, I saw that my program didn't wrote to the log file while the PDA was
closed.
I'm writing a program that is the main and only program that the user will
use on the PDA. I have some tasks that I want to stop when the PDA is closed,
and other that I want to keep runningâ?¦

- SBS >> Sending e-mail to non-SBS users with same e-mail domainOur small company has aprox. 10 employees that currently use SBS2003 and have
e-mail addresses ending in, for example, xxx@companyname.com. When they send
e-mail to each other, the mail gets routed through SBS2003 with no problems
-- but, we also have other employees (outside of this location) that are not
using our SBS2003 server, but have the same e-mail suffix (@companyname.com).
When a local user tries to send to one of the "external" users, the mail is
bounced back. I'm sure this must affect other users as well -- is there a
fix? Also, if the "fix" involves sending mail via Outlook (using a different
account), then how do you choose a different account with the remote Outlook
feature? Thanks in advance.

- SVCS >> Reporting Services Architecture question(s) - advice greatly appreciatedHi there
We have an emerging set of demands for reporting services 2000 and
reporting services 2005 for at least two applications and frankly I
too little about it but am in the position of having to make some
decisions pretty quickly without the time to play around and
experiment.
We have two apps requiring Reporting Services
One application is fat - .exe on client, database on SQL server 2000
(needs RS 2005)
One application is a thin , IIS and SQL server 2000 (needs RS 2000)
My preference is to abstract away Reporting Services to its own box
rather than installing it on the SQL server. (Server Load, server
abstraction - if we want to move database, rebuild server, whatever,
the usual stuff) and from there to use one RS box for any emerging RS
requirements for subsequent apps bot for production and test.
In the fat app we therefore have exe ->RS box -> SQL
In the thin app we have client -> client IIS box -> RS IIS box -> SQL
box
Because of the licensing issues I'd rather centralise Reporting
Services rather than install on every IIS app server but therefore
adds an extra IIS server into the chain. We have dozens of production
SQL servers, databases can move form one server to another depnding on
circumstances and I really don't want to install reporting services
2000 and rs 2005 on 65 production servers and alsmost as many test
servers
Is it a viable to centralise reporting services to act on behalf of
any any application that may need it in the future?
Does the extra layer add undue delay or complexity?
Is reporting server resource intensive or is the load really on the
sql server?
Can RS2000 and RS2005 happily co-exist on one box?
Can I run test (SQL) RS and production RS on the same box?
Thanks a lot in advance

- SVCS >> problem connecting report to database - 'null' user errorHello,
I am modifying a report created by someone else. When I go to the data tab
I get an error message that the report can't connect to the database. I have
the proper windows account, I even have a sql server account - Administrator
for everything. In the server explorer window, I can see my server, I can
see my database, the tables, etc. I went to tools and went through the
connect to database wizard with Windows Authentication and also tried with
Sql Serve Security - connection tested OK for both. Where do I check the
connection string in the report? Where is the connection string located? I
need to update it to my login. Any suggestions appreciated.

- SVCS >> File Share SubscriptionsI have numerous subscriptions that are delivered to a File Share. When
setting these up I need to supply credentials. I use the same
username/password for about 20 or so file share subscriptions. It seems odd
I have to set it up this way. What if I changed the user or password? That
would be a lot of accounts to reset.
Is there a config that allows you to set up an account to impersonate all
file share subscriptions?
Thanks.

- SVCS >> Grand Total and Page TotalI have a report that needs both the Grand Total and the Page Total to
be printed on each page of the report. The issue is that the client
wants the Page Total next to the Grand Total.
If the information is in the page header, then I am able to get the
Page Total, but not the Grand Total (can't reference any fields in the
header). However, if I move the information to the page body, then I
can get the Grand Total but not the Page Total...then I get an error
saying I can't have an aggregate in the page body.
Is it possible for me to do this? Or do I need to separate the two and
put one in the header and one in the body? I'm trying to conform to
the layout the client wants if at all possible.
Thank you in advance for any help!
