[CITRT-AU] New to the Group...
Linden Jackson - New Peninsula
Hi All,
I have recently been introduced to this group by Neil Nuttal from Crossway. I work part time as the IT manager/support for New Peninsula Church on the Mornington Peninsula.
Our Church has 2 campuses, the primary site is in Mt Martha and our other location is Rosebud. We are going through Website, Church Management System and some infrastructure redevelopment at the moment (ongoing). We rolled out Small Business Server 2008 last year, so we have cut across to this, run a terminal server (only Server 2003) at this point for remote users, but will be reviewing this soon.
Our site in Rosebud is linked to Mt Martha via a permanent IPSEC VPN tunnel, but I am having issues with this not being consistent at this point. We use Internode at both sites, but we have created the VPN link internally just using Billion ADSL2 Modem/Routers 7402GX units.
I am going through the process of looking at ChMS as we run an older version of Pastoral Care at the minute and I want to move to a web based solution that allows for staff and ministry leaders to log in from anywhere to use the system. Current list includes CCB, Fellowship One, Arena (just learned about)... so I may have questions about this..
My day job, when not at Church is running my own IT consulting/services business Agile IT Solutions www.agileit.com.au, incase anyone is interested.

Hi Chris,
Sorry for my slow response. I actually wrote a reasonable response a few days ago, but didn’t finish it and so I thought I should now reply properly. I work both at New Peninsula Church, but also I use run my own IT consulting/support business, so much of my experience and opinions come from a broad range of solutions, not just what we have at New Peninsula.
Small Business Server is a great solution The ability to create the central file store, exchange for email, calendars and contacts and particularly the remote access with Outlook anywhere functionality and mobile access.
The terminal server is good, but we are only using Windows Server 2003 for this and as it is also virtualised on the same server as the SBS 2008 without enough RAM (at the minute) it is not performing well. This should all be able to be resolved with some hardware and config changes.
Terminal Server was really a carry over from the old SBS 2000 server we used to have and back then we had no way of accessing email or anything from external to the office.
Happy to offer advice to suggestions if you have any... also will update as we improve things.
Thanks
Linden Jackson
