I have just used this procedure which I found on Steve Graegerts blog (http://graegert.com/) & it work perfectly:

WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007 can only be installed with Service Pack 1. You need to download WSS 3.0 including SP1 not WSS 3.0 & SP1. You cannot download MOSS 2007 with SP1 included so we will have to slipstream the installation.

In order to allow MOSS 2007 to be installed on Windows Server 2008 we have to provide the necessary updates prior to installation. Here is how it can be done:

1. Copy all installation files from you MOSS 2007 CD/DVD to a temporary directory (i.e. D:\Temp\moss).

2. Copy both the WSS 3.0 SP1 and MOSS 2007 SP1 to another temporary directory (D:\Temp\sp1)

3. Next, we need to copy all files inside the SP1 archives into the MOSS 2007 Updates directory usually located at \x86\Updates depending on your platform:

1. Open a console (Start > Run > Enter: cmd) and navigate to the SP1’s temporary directory
cd D:\Temp\sp1

2. Extract both archives to the Updates directory using the following commands:

officeserver2007sp1-kb936984-x86-fullfile-en-us.exe /extract:D:\temp\moss\Updates

wssv3sp1-kb936988-x86-fullfile-en-us.exe /extract:D:\temp\moss\Updates

You will find all extracted files in the Updates directory.

4. Start the MOSS 2007 installation as normal and follow the instructions.

Question: I was wondering if it was possible to have the left most pane (the ip address) fill down with addresses (adding 1 to the number above it) ie. 10.10.10.1, then below it 10.10.10.2. etc etc

Answer: Type in 10.10.10.1 in one row and 10.10.10.2 below it. Then select both and drag the black box in the bottom right corner down to continue it to complete your IP range.

If you use graphics to simulate different fonts on a page, you may notice that some of your fonts appear jagged. To solve this problem, you must use a graphics program that supports a feature called anti-aliasing. Corel PhotoPaint and Adobe PhotoShop support this feature, as do many shareware programs.

Anti-aliasing, at least in this case, smoothes the edges between two colors, such as your font color and the page/table background color. If your graphic has a black background and red text, for example, anti-aliasing will change some of the pixels in your graphic. It will create intermediary colors between red and black near the edges of your font, making the font appear to have smooth edges.
In order to do this correctly, you have to do a few things. First, determine the background color of your webpage or part of the webpage where your font graphic will appear. Use that color as the background color of your image. Now, place your text on the image, being sure to use anti-aliasing (see your graphics program manual for information). Now, save the font graphic as a transparent GIF, and make the transparent color the background color of your font graphic.

If you do this correctly, your font should appear very smooth on your website, giving it more of a professional look.

ASAP Ventures, parent to leading car hire comparator Carrentals.co.uk, has purchased Recycle.co.uk for £150,000 – the highest amount ever paid for a .co.uk internet domain name.
The investment is the latest in a series of purchases for the group, which has also recently bought Fly.co.uk for £87,500, broadening its portfolio in the online market into areas as diverse as travel, shopping promotions, dating and recycling.

Commenting on the Recycle.co.uk acquisition Gareth Robinson, marketing director of ASAP Ventures, said, “The purchase of Recycle.co.uk underlines our commitment to growing the business and expanding into new markets. The success we have had with Carrentals.co.uk has been phenomenal, and we have the skills and technology to reflect this elsewhere.

“The investment in Recycle.co.uk may be the highest yet, but it is well founded. The online market is changing rapidly and domain names are key. In the US the market has already exploded, and while the UK operates under different regulations, the potential is vast.“

The £150,000 investment in Recycle.co.uk is the highest published figure paid for a .co.uk Internet domain name, breaking the last recorded value by £40,000, which was set by J Sainsbury plc when it purchased taste.co.uk for £110,000 in 1997.

ASAP Ventures’ travel operations include Carrentals.co.uk; travel comparison site asap.co.uk; and accommodation listings directory Self-Catering-Breaks.com, while the group launched Carrentals.de in Germany last month and plans to launch elsewhere in Europe and Australia over the next six months.

Expansion into non-travel services has been strengthened with the purchase of Recycle.co.uk, while additional brands include Promos.co.uk, Easyfindadate.com and wannabehere.com. The Group is set to develop its business activities further over the coming 12 months with a strengthened programme of development and acquisition.

Since launching Carrentals.co.uk in 2003, the ASAP Ventures group has grown to a sales revenue of over £8m in the last financial year, with this year on target to hit £12m. 2008/09 is targeted at £20million.

Nora Nanayakkara, UK operations director, Sedo, the company behind the auction of Recycle.co.uk, added: “We are seeing a growing interest in the purchase of co.uk Internet domain names in the secondary market. Over six million co.uk Internet domain names are already registered and there is a shortage of available quality names. This is driving the sale of high value generic names, such as recycle.co.uk.”

Figures from Sedo show that in the past year the total volume of co.uk Internet domain name sales in the secondary market has grown by 30% to over £1.5 million, with Sedo accounting for approximately 84% of co.uk transactions in 2006 (source – DNJournal).

If you have a client who cannot run Autocad 2007 that is bundled with Inventor 11 because of a ‘invalid licence error’ it is probably because in the registry its set to a ‘standalone licence’ & needs to be set to a ‘network licence’.

You can do this by editing the registry as instructed below:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\Rxx.x\ACAD-xxxx:xxx\AdLM]
“Type”=dword:00000019
19=network license NLM
2a=standalone licence SLM

Full backup

A full backup, which Microsoft calls a normal backup, backs up every selected file, regardless of the status of the archive bit. When the backup completes, the backup software turns off the archive bit for every file that was backed up. Note that “full” is a misnomer because a full backup backs up only the files you have selected, which may be as little as one directory or even a single file, so in that sense Microsoft’s terminology is actually more accurate. Given the choice, full backup is the method to use because all files are on one tape, which makes it much easier to retrieve files from tape when necessary. Relative to partial backups, full backups also increase redundancy because all files are on all tapes. That means that if one tape fails, you may still be able to retrieve a given file from another tape.

Differential backup
A differential backup is a partial backup that copies a selected file to tape only if the archive bit for that file is turned on, indicating that it has changed since the last full backup. A differential backup leaves the archive bits unchanged on the files it copies. Accordingly, any differential backup set contains all files that have changed since the last full backup. A differential backup set run soon after a full backup will contain relatively few files. One run soon before the next full backup is due will contain many files, including those contained on all previous differential backup sets since the last full backup. When you use differential backup, a complete backup set comprises only two tapes or tape sets: the tape that contains the last full backup and the tape that contains the most recent differential backup.

Incremental backup
An incremental backup is another form of partial backup. Like differential backups, Incremental Backups copy a selected file to tape only if the archive bit for that file is turned on. Unlike the differential backup, however, the incremental backup clears the archive bits for the files it backs up. An incremental backup set therefore contains only files that have changed since the last full backup or the last incremental backup. If you run an incremental backup daily, files changed on Monday are on the Monday tape, files changed on Tuesday are on the Tuesday tape, and so forth. When you use an incremental backup scheme, a complete backup set comprises the tape that contains the last full backup and all of the tapes that contain every incremental backup done since the last normal backup. The only advantages of incremental backups are that they minimize backup time and keep multiple versions of files that change frequently. The disadvantages are that backed-up files are scattered across multiple tapes, making it difficult to locate any particular file you need to restore, and that there is no redundancy. That is, each file is stored only on one tape.

Full copy backup
A full copy backup (which Microsoft calls a copy backup) is identical to a full backup except for the last step. The full backup finishes by turning off the archive bit on all files that have been backed up. The full copy backup instead leaves the archive bits unchanged. The full copy backup is useful only if you are using a combination of full backups and incremental or differential partial backups. The full copy backup allows you to make a duplicate “full” backup—e.g., for storage offsite, without altering the state of the hard drive you are backing up, which would destroy the integrity of the partial backup rotation.
