Tonight we had a major crisis in the Lentz home. My wife accidentally clobbered an important Note she was keeping in Outlook. She didn’t delete it, that would have been easy. She managed to wipe out the contents. Recovering items from Exchange isn’t all...
For some time I have really loved CWR Mobility’s CWR Mobile CRM client for the Windows Mobile Smartphone. It worked great for me, until I upgraded my network to Small Business Server 2008 (SBS 08). From then (back in April) to today, I have longed to...
This weekend I set up a new Small Business Server 2008 for a client and included CRM 4.0 Workgroup Edition. I was able to access CRM fine using the web client from the server but when I attempted to access it from the client workstations, it wouldn’t...
For the last several weeks I’ve been pretty much heads down migrating my Small Business Server 2003 to SBS 2008. One of the last tasks was to move my MS CRM 4.0 over. The plan was to install SQL 2008 on the new SBS 2008 server, install a TEMP CRM organization...
I attended a session on the then in development Windows Home Server during the 2007 MVP Summit. I thought “Why am I here? This doesn’t pertain to a business, just home users. I don’t do homes.” Well, I was wrong. I recently installed 3 Windows Home Servers...
Microsoft has recently released for beta testing their new desktop (OK, and laptop) operating system, Windows 7. I’ve been running it for a bit over a week on my laptop and really like it. I have had very little problem with it though here are a few issues...
Recently I've been learning more about programming CRM. I've had no problems in the virtual environments of the training courseware. But I was trying to implement a simple sample program on my on CRM system using Visual Studio 2008 and it would...
I have been selling, and supporting Microsoft Small Business Server since the first version (v4.0) back in 1997. One of the killer features it had was it provided Internet access for all the computers in the network. Sounds like no big deal now, but back...
I just returned from SMB Nation 2008 fall conference in Seattle. Actually the conference was held over the October 4th weekend but my wife and I took advantage of the trip to take a short vacation and tour southern Washington state and Oregon. Oregon...

Although I've been in the SBS 2008 Beta program since the start, I haven't had the appropriate hardware to be able to play with it. I was able to access a few remote sites kindly set up by some of the SBS MVPs, and I even loaded SBS 2008 on a...
The SBS 2008 team would like some feedback and has posted a survey at https://connect.microsoft.com/SBSCommunity/Survey/Survey.aspx?SurveyID=6295&wa=wsignin1.0 . I would encourage you to take it as it's pretty short. Shouldn't take more than...
One of my SBS customers decided he liked the Blackberry phones better than the Windows Mobile ones and so bought a couple of phones and the Blackberry Enterprise Server. He's a competent DIY'er and so installed BES himself. However they encountered...
I have a client with a branch office. They are connected via a VPN. It's been working well, well until recently. Their Line of Business (LOB) vendor installed a new server at the home office. Machines at the home office location were able to use My...
I am in the middle of installing SBS 2003 R2 Premium on a client's new server. I've already blogged some of my 'experiences'. Today I ran into another 'interesting' issue. I installed ISA server but when I did the Configure E-mail...
