Recovering a Clobbered Outlook Note with Windows Home Server

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 that easy a project and the Note was definitely...

CWR on SBS 08

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 have the CWR client back on my phone. But every time...

CRM on SBS 08

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 connect. Short story shorter, the issue turned out...

Migrating CRM to SBS 2008

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 and then import CRM data from the original...

Restoring from Windows Home Server

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 at one client location. Why? As a backup of...

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.

VS on SBS

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 consistently fail due to security exceptions. When...

Setting Up a Firewall for SBS 2008

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 then dial-up was state of the art. If users wanted...

SMB Nation 2008 - A Short Recap

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 is beautiful, as is Washington. Lots of wineries!...
