Loose cable or backplane? Anyone have another idea?

That sounds suspiciously like a failed backplane.

Trying to keep my blood pressure below the new spec as I think through ways to communicate around reading comprehension problems.

I wonder whether or not I'm simply kidding myself or if there truly are positions in IT that aren't primarily focused on supporting users' efforts for using Microsoft Outlook.
lol sorry can't help you there because my users all have a hard time with it too
Honestly it's not always the users. Outlook, especially how it handles images, can just be screwy.
what are some example problems so i can check?
What I think is going on is there are users for whom I apparently haven't installed this registry key; thus, even though they see pictures, recipients do not see them. Some images aren't in the signature though, they're just in the body, which I don't think really matters since and image in an E-mail is just an image in an E-mail.
No users have yet been able to articulate clearly whether the following is true: "You see images in the E-mail you compose, but the recipient doesn't see the images."
You seem to have a lot of issues I never run into with outlook.
How often are you embedding images into HTML E-mails? Also, do you have a minimum of 3 images in your E-mail signature?
yeah sorry don't have those issues either. are your users locked down enough?
If I was having these kinds of issues, I would approach management and tell them that I am spending hundreds if not thousands of dollars fixing these types of issues that aren't business related. If they told me to continue, I would, but it's likely they would ask me to kill the features instead.
excellent point

Yup, communicate in dollars, people tend to understand "losing money" more than most things.

Finally had to mute Robert. He's no IT pro, he's just a troll.

I think Jared had the same issues with him.

Spiceworks has created a culture of "math is opinion". They inject "opinion" and "preference" as if they override anything and everything. The truth, or math, or facts are just "opinions" and they think that you can say anything, anytime because everything to that community is accepted if you treat it as opinion.

From the error it almost sounds like it can't get to your NFS share?

I thought that too, but it seems like it can't start the service.
I'll open it up completely to see.
