Is there a way to decompile the .exe (DellSMTPNotify Application) to look at the code? I'm a bit weary of putting a random .exe file on my new...
Previously the guide here showed me how to just copy the files to a server, launch the .exe, and then configure everything via command line.

Selling my Room Alert 11EW because I don't need it anymore. I bought it to use at work and they wouldn't let me expense it so it became mine. Now that I'm leaving the company, I'm taking it with me (if it doesn't sell).
It is not yet a year old, purchased on 7/25/2011 so it is still covered...

I am interested in what I would have to do in order to create a new AD site from the ground up - to replace my current one.
The reasons why I would want to do this are to have a fresh start where I could make the domain a .local instead of a domain.domain.com as it is now. It would also enable...

Looking to replace my current data server that is 5 years old. Right now I am thinking either HP or IBM with 5-6 300 GB 10k drives in a RAID5 configuration for storage and 2 146 GB drives in a RAID1 configuration for boot. This is just based off my research, and I've never deployed a server...

Was hoping some folks would be able to offer some suggestions for my new server room layout.
This is what I've come up with so far:

Here is my problem...
UserA goes to work at home and pulls 192.168.1.9 as an IP on their home network. Then UserA connects to the work VPN which has the same subnet (I don't know much about subnetting) 192.168.1.x - specifically the mail server is 192.168.1.9. Therefore there is a conflict...
