Hi,
Thanks for the reply,
Point taken, it won't become a BDC. I will have a word with the LOB
suppliers about changing their app to authenticate through either a
local account or sql credentials. I convinced the customer to put this
in as I knew their main SBS server was ageing and does need replacing
but their budget couldn't run to a migration to SBS08 yet.
Good news is the SBS server is up and running again with a new PSU, at
least I will sleep better tonight.
