Hi Guys, I have a customer who has an existing 2000 TS licensed with per device CALs. They have recently purchased a 2003 TS and would like to use per user CALs. The 2003 TS is setup for per user CALs, but I accidently activated and installed 2003 per device CALs. I then rang up again and activated and installed per user CALs, but the per user CALs are showing up as 'not applicable'. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to remove the per Device CALs, as they only want to use 2003 per user CALs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just did a full reinstall of XP Professional and Office 2007. I downloaded and installed SP3 for XP and SP1 for Office. Now Windows/Office keeps asking me to install 35 programs that seem to have 0 content and take 0 minutes to install. It downloads those programs and then tells me the installations failed. Is it safe to assume that these updates were part of the SP's that I downloaded/installed. If so, is it safe to tell Microsoft not to ask me again about these programs? Alternatively, what is going on? Thank you.

Hi All I am about to do an upgrade form sbs2000 to 2003 and need to export AD user data.

Is there an easy way I can get this information exported Many thanks Glenn

So I am thinking of installing and using a program that will hide and/or make my IP anonymous. With theft and whatnot these days, I am thinking I may be better of with this. Plus, I don't necessarily like all websites tracking my moves and whatnot. No, I am not paranoid by default, but just cautious. Anyhow, I am a very heavy PC user and do quite the variety of things on my PC. Will using this type of software mess with anything that I may be used to? What I mean is, some sites that I do sign into and use frequently, I want them to store my login. Also, what about XP ftp settings and the like? Anybody use these types of programs? Your thoughts? Will they i…

Ever since I set up a wireless router, Zone Alarm has not recorded one attempted intrusion. Prior to the router, there were usually dozens. Is the router's security/encryption (WPA) blocking the intrusions before they get to Zone Alarm?? tia

Windows was reloaded successfully over the weekend on our daughter's computer (Dell Dimension 4500 running Windows XP Pro), and she is now in the process of reconnecting all of her peripherals back to the computer. Everything was reconnecting just fine (HP Printer, Samsung laser, Broadband, external drives, etc). The drivers and all were loading just fine, and the hardware was all functioning properly. She had her Canon scanner plugged into the tower when she loaded the Canoscan Toolbox software (includes the drivers), but once the install was complete.... the scanner didn't work. She wasn't aware that the scanner should have remained disconnected …
