So my Elonex eXentia saga get worse. So I have worked out that if I put it to sleep I get my DVD drive back .. cool!
But now I loose sound!
So …
Reboot = NO DVD but sound!
Sleep = DVD but NO sound!
That’s it, I have had enough … Windows XP here we come!
I knew about this, but didn’t know it was public!

… In SQL Server 2005 and in SQL Server 2000, the SQL Server database engine uses the following two forms of timer to generate time information:
In the high-resolution timer, the timer resolution is based on the Read Time-Stamp Counter (RDTSC) instruction of the CPU. In the low-resolution timer, the timer resolution is based on the GetTickCount function in the Microsoft Windows API.
… When you use Transact-SQL statements to perform time calculations that are based on system-provided date and time functions, you must carefully investigate the statements. Specifically, if you have written DST times in hard code in the application logic, the DateDiff and DateAdd system functions are not DST aware.

Been looking for some stuff on this and came across a few links I wanted to share.
First of all my buddy Doug posted a blog up on MsExchangeTeam (well done m8) and that gives you the reasons why you should (http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2006/10/18/429216.aspx)
He also links out to the Exchange Partners page (http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/partners/default.mspx). If you drill down under compliance (http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/partners/2007/compliance.mspx) you get a list of potential products that you can use (didn’t know about this!).
This is quite a good PPT from Kieran McCorry (http://h71028.www7.hp.com/enterprise/downloads/Journaling_Archiving_and_Regulatory_Compliance_with_Exchange_2003.ppt)
What also seems interesting is that instead of having your servers, you can actually outsource this another company. Check out Microsoft Exchange Hosted Archive (http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/services/archive.mspx)
These would be good article, but you have to register and subscribe to see the whole thing :-(

The Microsoft Cluster Configuration Validation Wizard, a.k.a. “ClusPrep”, is a validation tool that does a complete system inventory and runs focused tests on servers that are configured and ready for Microsoft Server Cluster installation (in other words, before the servers are a cluster). ClusPrep will also run the inventory and many of these same tests after clustering is installed, however, because of their potentially disruptive nature, most storage tests are not run if the servers are already a cluster.
ClusPrep will validate that your system is configured properly by taking inventory of your system configuration and highlighting discrepancies in service pack levels, driver versions, etc.; evaluating and testing your network and storage configuration.
If the results of your ClusPrep execution do not show errors (viewable in detail from the XML report) then you can have a high level of confidence that your subsequent cluster installation and/or operation will be successful.
ClusPrep is a “client/server” tool: you install it on one machine (must be installed on a 32-bit architecture machine), and it drives tests on a collection of server machines (can be any architecture). All drivers and test agents are automatically installed on the servers as part of ClusPrep operation. In other words, the only install you do is on the machine from which you initiate the testing.
