Anyone have one that they recommend? Anyone have one they say to avoid?

Thanks,

I have 4 kids... 12, 4, 3, & 1...

I like the PS3 better personally, but I was weighing them all because I think the sensor for the xbox could have it's perks while the wii could really be good for the family as well.

I'm sure I'll pick up a system for myself since I will be spending the next year ...

Thinking about buying a video game system for the family for Christmas. But, I don't know what to get (if any)

Currently we don't have a game system at all. What I am looking for though is maybe something can can replace the Blu Ray player we currently have.

With the Blu Ray player (Sony) we can ...

a lot of good thoughts here...

I currently have a GE Interlogix Simon 3 that is no longer monitored. I pulled a few manuals online before i found the right one but I am noticing that there are a lot of things on it that don't show up in the manual (option 81, option 82, etc) and I have no clue what ...

Has anyone ever looked into this or even executed it?

I thought about tying in cameras a long time ago but the prices of a network camera now are so low and the software to use them is even free at times (if you can deal with a little portion of the camera feed being taken up). So... why not do it ...

I now have everything set up!!!

I have 3x win2k3 standard servers

1) DC - nothing else
2) NetServices - DHCP, WINS, DNS
3) Exchange - nothing else

Now I am still configuring the exchange accounts etc but so far, so good...

Most of this is a little too much for "quick guides"....the quick guides can show you a few of the very basic necessities, but there's usually a whole heck of a lot more going on that happens that you want to be comfortable with or have some working knowledge of.

and I had cloned the machines so... I had to run sysprep in order to actually be on teh domain (same SID on all 3 servers due to cloning)...

lance-tek

Well, I got past the issue (I did make the DC the DHCP server). I was able to add the other two servers to the domain. So, now it is just a matter of setting everything up... and the learning begins (or continues considering the difficulties I have had thus far)...

a link to this thread?

Anyway, if I understand you correctly I have to use the DC as the DNS server initially and once the DNS server is joined to the domain I can then repoint everything to it as the actual DNS server. Right?

Thanks,

lance-tek

I currently have 3 servers (well 4 if you count my baseline image). I have one configured as a DC and "on the domain". I have another which is my "netServices" server (DHCP, DNS, WINS) and it is all ready to go BUT it isn't able to find the DC...

I may be too "advanced" for what I should be doing ...

Amazon has video rental downloads. From 1.99 to 3.99. And they have 823 movies in the family/kids section. There are probably cheaper options.

I just came across that a little while ago... Thanks!

exchange is not the highest priority (we still get our mail) though it sometimes is rather delayed (don't know why). But definately setting up the AD and the exchange server to work within the house would be great. Then once that has been taken care of moving to the fullest extent is the next step ...

Netflix is good but they don't seem to update the inventory with "good" movies that much.

Hulu is great for tv shows also but once again the shortcoming is the movies on Hulu are limited.

We are really looking for something kinda like going to a video store with a large selection, even if it is ...

Currently the IP is a reserved dns entry. That's how U-Verse is set up. I think it's lease is renewed monthly. I know that for a small amount I can call the ISP and get a static IP if I find that this is causing issues though... (5 usable statics for 15/mo)

I have all of the software to start it ...

Currently I don't have an Active Directory running at home. It has been a project of mine for a while though. Since I am a DBA with limited knowledge in other areas I thought it would really help me. Running an exchange server I thought would be a great benefit to learn from and allow me to better ...

My wife and I are wondering if there is anything out there (worth the bother) to watch movies online? This all started when we wanted to rent the movie "The Lion King" for our 4,3,&1 year olds to watch. We couldn't find it at the local blockbuster or redbox so we checked netflix (which we have a ...

Here is my situation... I have all kinds of software at my disposal. I think I would like to set up a domain at home (I mean heck I have enough computers for it :-p). What I am really focused on is setting up exchange for my mail.
