Don't mind me. Just storing a bookmark for something I find hard to find on Ikea's website (3d office design software)
You need a few things:
1. Your Sharepoint Site needs to be configured for Challenge/Response Authentication (the default)
2. You really should have the site protected at all times by an SSL cert - see our friends QuoVadis for one right now.
3. Add your portal site to your 'Local Intranet' site security settings in IE. This has the option 'Automatic Logon Only In Intranet Zone' which will pass your credentials to this trusted website.

Need to know your mail is working? Sounds like this service might do the job and the price seems reasonable.

My 64bit Windows 2003 (Standard) systems don't need this but even good ole Windows 2003 Enterprise won't pay any attention to more than 4GB of memory unless the /PAE switch is on.
If you have Exchange, you will probably want the following (as it can't really use more than 4GB of memory - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823440/en-us:
/noexecute=optout /fastdetect /3GB /USERVA=3030
This is a good article about what to do with an Exchange Server with more than 1GB of memory... http://searchexchange.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid43_gci1241223,00.html
Then, after reading 100 articles about how one should never use the PAE switch in Exchange, I find that one of the sites I actually pay attention to, now says /PAE is supported in Exchange.
*sigh*. I guess this is why we are supposed to test software/settings :)
Well, I'm still not sold on this but will get around to trying it...
Current:
Using Two-Way Virtual Symmetric Multiprocessing (Experimental)
For all supported configurations of 32‐bit and 64‐bit host and guest operating systems running on multiprocessor host machines, VMware Server provides experimental support for two‐way virtual Symmetric Multiprocessing (Virtual SMP). Virtual SMP lets you assign two virtual processors to a virtual machine on any host machine that has at least two logical processors.
The following host configurations are all considered to have two logical processors:
• A single‐processor host with hyperthreading enabled
• A single‐processor host with a dual‐core CPU
• A multiprocessor host with two CPUs, neither of which are dual‐core or have hyperthreading enabled.
NOTE On hyperthreaded uniprocessor hosts, performance of virtual machines with Virtual SMP might be subpar.
VMware Server does not support guests with more than two virtual processors. You can, however, power on and run multiple dual‐processor virtual machines concurrently.
At the end of the day, you really shouldn't have anything in your Outlook Inbox and here is why:
Stress: Emails in your inbox mean something is left undone. Every email should have one of the following five actions, thus meaning it shouldn't be in your inbox at the end of the day
1. Discard the email (delete it, info isn't useful so get rid of it)
2. Delegate the email (task it to someone, now, not tomorrow)
3. Take immediate action (if it will take 5 minutes or less to resolve, do it now)
4. Put in a reference folder (don't leave it in the inbox *see performance below*). Put it in a 'non-default' folder
5. File for followup (drag into tasks and create a 'task/job' from it)
Performance: Outlook will run slower if it has a massive Inbox - it takes longer to produce views, AV programs will expect to scan it on every open, etc. and your OST files will be big (for caching) thus correcting corruption would take longer too

Getting this error?
The IP address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX you have entered for this network adapter is already assigned to another adapter Name of adapter. Name of adapter is hidden from the network and Dial-up Connections folder because it is not physically in the computer or is a legacy adapter that is not working. If the same address is assigned to both adapters and they become active, only one of them will use this address. This may result in incorrect system configuration. Do you want to enter a different IP address for this adapter in the list of IP addresses in the advanced dialog box?
Well, it would appear in the cases I've seen, it is due to the VMWare client tools not uninstalling/installing correctly during upgrades. But, in the end, all I care about is that it gets resolved, and here is how... (note, Method 2 works much more consistently, Method 1 has seldom worked as advertised, in my experience).
Windows Vista 'TCP Scaling' is on by default in Windows Vista (along with an IPV6 stack) and is causing difficult to diagnose problems with routers, etc. that do not support or work well with this feature.
To turn it off:
Run a Command Prompt as Administrator
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
To turn it on:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal
Might as well leverage the 'old blog.
