Eliminating computer problems
Network Maintenance Plans
There is a lot of new interest in managing networks these days!
The interest has alwasy been there but the complexity of networks and the need for always on email and internet access has brought the issue into the management office.
Maintaining networked computers is not always easy and can be very time consuming. Should you and your staff be tackling computer problems or operating your business? We once heard a business owner ask an employee, “Who is doing your job while you are over looking at a computer you know very little about?” This owner realized his staff was better utilized doing company business and having someone else handle the computer problems.
We have one of the most affordable and complete onsite and remote support maintenance plans available that provide fixed fee service and eliminate hourly service call charges. Contacting us will be the best thing you do today!
We are proud to have been providing managed services since 1994 and after looking around at IT companies seem to be the oldest company around and still in business.

We all have seen PDF files and certainly enjoy the ease of use and ability to email documents to others without worry that they will be able to open and read the documents.
Along comes searching and PDF files are out in the cold or so it would seem. If you are in need of a searchable pdf solution you are at the right place. Searchable pdf’s for the office requires more than purchasing a copy of Adobe Acrobat.
Depending on how much you scan or how many pdf files you create there are a few different solutions we will recommend during consultation about your needs. Doctors, lawyers, mortgage companies have huge amounts of pdf files and by adding the search capability the company will not have to keep buying file cabinets for paper storage.
The website says Dallas computer service but we can help where ever your office is located. Contact us for more information.
We are available to discuss your office needs. Call 972-418-2232

This post is for business customers of T-mobile who might have placed an order for the G1 phone due for release this month. We placed our order over the phone after the website order system broke down. Last week a rep by phone confirmed an order was in place and that tracking information would be coming soon.
We spoke with Angela a customer service rep this week and got a totally different story. Business customers are not actually eligible to order the new G1 phone featuring the Android operating system per company policy. Yes, business customers are at the back of the line. It didn’t matter if you planned in advance and responded promptly to banner advertisements etc.. First come first serve is not in the T-mobile company policy for business customers. The policy says NO to business customers on this matter! In our case we called a month ago by phone only to be told October 12th there is no longer an order in the system.
We were informed by the customer service rep known only as Mike who said he might have to wait until January 2009 if he wanted one for his use. He went on to say that HTC is having problems and is expected to be way behind. That is not really new news just part of the conversation.
A complete recording of the conversation already in progress is available here. (Windows Media Format.)
We are hopefull the company will update the policy and support it’s business customers.
Business customers: Be one of the last to get the G1 delivered to your door!
Notice: Google, the Google logo not abused here because we like Google, Google Maps, and Android are trademarks of Google Inc. T-Mobile and the magenta color are federally registered trademarks of Deutsche Telekom AG. G1 and T-Mobile G1 are trademarks of T-Mobile. Any expression of frustration posted here can be easily rectified.

If you lose your password to XP there are several ways to solve the issue but with Vista most people in this situation had to reload. Be aware If you reformat and reload data recovery is much more difficult. We can recover data without the passwords if needed.
For many, reloading Vista means losing some data and if you setup EFS then a reload is the next step. If you don’t know about EFS then 99% chance you are not using it. If you just want to get back to work we can help to reset most Vista passwords in the lab so If you cannot login to Vista contact our office. If you are not in Dallas we can arrange for you to ship your computer to the lab. Lab 972-418-2232

The iPhone 2.1 software came out last week as most of you know. Apple with it’s latest released made promises better battery life better wireless and g3 communication along with the ever needed speed increase for backing up and restore feature of the iPhone.
After just a few days with it I can say good things. Though wireless signal is a hard thing to test most of the other bugs certainly have been fixed to the specs that where claimed. The backup process took a little over 2 minutes as opposed to the previous 45. If you haven’t updated yet I suggest that you do.

It is safe to dive into the new server, Windows 2008!
Microsoft has a new server in town. Yes, we realize you did not notice as has been the case for many business people. So decisions are needed, do you review the new server or add another Windows 2003 server to your mix? Let’s start with some summary statements then you can decide if you want to read the rest of this article series.
Windows Server 2008 comes in several flavors, which by now everyone is getting used to full versions and less featured or just plain crippled versions. So if you are using your server behind a firewall and only use file and print service then there isn’t a good reason to move forward unless your server is aging and now is the time you planned to upgrade. If you do not use Microsoft Exchange and don’t plan to then again no need to upgrade. Contact us if you want a robust alternative to Exchange.
We like the new server but approach the subject in a “justify it” approach. If we can’t justify it then we cannot recommend windows server 2008 for the sake of having the latest server in the back office.
Windows Server 2008 comes with significant changes but most users won’t notice running XP or Vista Business. Ok, if you read this far and decided you are not going to buy a server with windows server 2008 and will either stay with Windows 2003 server or will install Windows 2003 server then you don’t need to spend any more time reading on the subject..
We will greatly simplify the Windows Server 2008 offering. Microsoft has review documents on thier site and the “short version” is only 116 pages long. We don’t call that a short enough version. We don’t know of any executive that could stomach a 116 page presentation on a server or “infrastructure platform” as the term goes. At the time of this writing some of the features touted are actually in BETA even though the Windows Server 2008 product has been released to manufacturing.
Breat it Down! Summary feature with commentary.
Setup. The server uses the Vista install routine with the ability to read raid drivers from USB drives instead of floppies. Anyone want to buy a stack of old floppies? Microsoft has a server core install only option that reminds old gear heads of Novell or Unix which also used a command line management console which pretty well kept users from meddling with the server. There will some tools and 3rd party scripts to help manage a core install.
Server Roles. Configuring services from the new server manager is a great educational tool as Microsoft has added lots of explanations for what things do and this will help admininistrators learn about the server.
Copying Files. Copying files has been improved but still won’t do much for XP users. Microsoft updated the SMB (file copying for the lay person) protocol which means multiple connections and instructions simultaneously. If you don’t have a GIG switch in the server closet contact us.
IIS 7.0 A new version of web server. Touted as allowing hosting of applications and lowering costs. Same message they gave us for Windows server 2003 and IIS 6.0. A server core installation will not support IIS 7.0.
Security. Network access protection. Microsoft told us we had this in 2003 but didn’t get it right. This is improved but with the new network stack included will it be more secure? Pinging IPv6 addresses is not the same old ping.
Active Directory. Improved ability to delegate who can manage services. It is more complicated but a good team can make it very simple for average users to manage things once only dreamed about. A small office under 75 users won’t use the new features or will not have the resources to implement the new features. That is where Dallas Computer Service can come in and help however.
Virtualization. Virtual machine support is now built in but we prefer VMware since the integration services only support windows server 2003 or 2008 guest operating systems. Enough said.
We told you this was going to be brief with 100 plus pages boiled down to just a few. The new server has an emphasis on security and seems stable from the community buzz just don’t upgrade until your lifecycle plan says to upgrade and then you will still have to decide on 2003 or 2008. Most standard users should go for 2008 and SBS users should really consider 2003 instead of SBS 2008 still in the works.
