Windows 2008 as a fileserver
I have loaded a server with 2008 STD 32bit with file services and it seems that the xp/2003 machines have slow performance connecting or reading drives. I have checked the taskmgr and cpu is low 1-10% and memory low (4gb installed and 700mg - 950 mg used). Virus protection loaded (Symantec in a non-cache mode). A few of the domain admins have vista but we have no problems, so I don't know if it is because we a admins or because we have vista. I do have an xp machine next to me that doesn't experience problems, but I only use it to run other admin tools that don't run on vista (phone system etc.) Anyone have an idea what might be wrong? Or is 2008 as big a P.I.T.A. as vista is? Luke L.

SMS Messaging
We've had a requirement from one of our customers to provide a facility for SMS text messaging. Does anyone have a feeling as to whether we should do this ourselves by getting one or more SMS modems or using one of the many SMS services out there? Our application (to a backend database) has 2 methods of access:- a web interface used by call centres and various levels of stakeholders or a Terminal Services logon to access the client runtime (this method allows more functionality than the web interface). We're talking about sending/receiving roughly 10,000 SMS texts/month. Texts will be sent mainly from our web interface, but this facility could be opened up to Terminal Server users accessing the system/database. Does anyone have any recommendations? TIA.

RE: SMS Messaging
Has your client looked at the costs of doing this? I have been asked before to do it and every time it has been dropped because of the costs. Here in the UK there are no free options, and unless you limit it heavily, the staff will abuse it. You will need to sign up with one of the bulk suppliers, but you will be looking at between 2.5 and 7p a message, depending on the volume. On bulk messaging 10,000 messages is not a lot, add another two zeros to get the best rates. At 10,000 pcm expect to pay around 4 or 5p a message - UK numbers only. Double it for international in most cases. As for how to do it, there are two ways. Hardware, where you have a SIM on a device connected to your network and software, where the message is sent to a service provider, usually using an API. The market is very competitive so have a good look round. If you can do it with hardware and your own systems then you can move between providers easily.

RE: IE 8 today
Hope you never get this issue... No browser is allowed to download anything - even if you are running as a domain admin. As PDF files need to be downloaded and then opened by the add-in, this means they cannot be read. It also hoses MS Update as those are files downloaded and installed. It does not matter what browser you are using. All (IE7, FF, Chrome, and Opera) will give an error box stating that the security settings forbid downloading from that site (even your own internal web servers).

Re: IE 8 today
And for managed environments the other options are what exactly? Firefox is not an option in many managed environments due to the lack of any sort of central configuration management. Yes, I'm aware of the Frontmotion stuff, but they do several things wrong: a) they bundle third plugins (flash, shockwave, etc) in their install package b) the group policy add-ins are incomplete at best. They're incomplete for a reason; there are many, many config options that, when set through group policy, are ignored. I'm specifically speaking of proxy settings here.

Okay, I'll bite... :) It's been a long week; this will be refreshing... :) I like Firefox better. It's faster and more flexible. Firefox tends to work they way I want. I can make it do what I want more easily. There are more useful extensions for Firefox Firefox works on all my computers, not just XP and Vista. Yes, we still have Win 2000 in production at work. I've got Linux at home and on my laptop. Firefox runs everywhere.. Extensions to MSIE, like IE7Pro, let IE catch up to Firefox in many ways, but Firefox has been doing more of what I want out of the box for years and years, when MSFT was still leaving us languishing with MSIE 6. Why should I go through the pain and effort of switching back now? The development community responds better and faster than Microsoft. See above. In practice, I think Firefox is more secure than MSIE. Web developers wanting to target MSIE are encouraged to use ActiveX, and downloading native machine code over the Internet into a browser is horrible idea and always was. NoScript blocks even JavaScript-based attacks. Permit Cookies lets me manage cookie permission easily. The fact that some sites *still* don't work right with anything but MSIE 6, and the fact that Microsoft *still( makes it unreasonably hard to run multiple versions of their browser, means that I can't even really try seriously newer releases. With Firefox, I can simply install to a different directory. It takes all of five seconds. I have zero issues using IE7 ... Zero.. EXCEPT ... That word you keep using. I do not think it means what you think it means. :) as far at the memory issue.. e I just reboot and in 1.5 minutes ... Another thing I like about Firefox is that, since it hasn't been shoved into the OS core in an attempt to stifle competition (see Findings of Fact, US v. MSFT, 5 Nov 1999), I can easily shutdown, kill, and/or upgrade the browser without having to reboot my *entire computer*. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~

You can standard on one browser, with the same set of managed corporate config files, for Windows, Mac, and Linux. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~

Years ago I did it with a old Nokia phone plugged in to a charger, connected to an old laptop running a Psion Gold card and a third party tool. Things have moved on since then. You can get text machines, which is what most of the radio stations will be using. These are basically a form of mobile phone with a SIM inside them. However that will not give you the best rates because you will be using the mobile phone network's service and are best suited to inbound texts. Your best option is to look at SMS gateway APIs and run it over the internet. Tons of those around. Google SMS Gateway with the UK switch turned on and every link including the adverts will take you to something suitable. It all depends on what you can do with the service.

Re: IE 8 today
I became a fan and user of Firefox years ago when it was the only browser to offer tabbed browsing. Just because IE now offers that, I still see no reason to switch back. Ironically, at my work, we still haven't implemented IE7 because of two enterprise applications that have not been certified on IE7 by the software companies for use with there web based interfaces.

When I say more secure in practice, I mean just that, not that Firefox is immune to vulnerabilities. Every major browser (and some minor ones) have had vulnerabilities.

For example, since Firefox 1.x, I've long set all the options that prevent JavaScript from controlling window size, position, UI trim, etc. This means browser windows always look like browser windows, with scroll bars and status bars. They can't pretend to be OS windows. It also means JavaScript can't take over my right-click content menu. It's my computer, not the web author's. More recently, NoScript makes it even easier to prevent JavaScript from taking over my computer. I've seem the equivalent of a JavaScript fork bomb -- it just opened endless new windows.

All user level processes - regardless of whether the user is root or Administrator or john.smith - run in ring 3. From the CPU perspective administrative vs non-administrative processes are indistinguishable as they are an OS-specific construct. Based on the 4th paragraph in the article, it looks like it would primarily afflict CPUs that have hardware virtualization support (and said support turned on). One hypothetical exploit would be to bypass the hypervisor of, say, ESX and break out of the guest OS and take over the physical machine. -- Phil Brutsche p...@optimumdata.com ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT: The information transmitted, or contained or attached to or with this Notice is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain Protected Health Information (PHI), confidential and/or privileged material.

Re: IE 8 today
I can easily reproduce scenarios that make IE7 crash. IE7 eats waaay more memory and cant handle it. I'm running current versions, side-by-side, aaand I have 30+ extensions loaded into FF (while no add-ons with IE7). My most recently necessity has been to disabled Flash in IE7 because I can make it crash repeatedly when logged into Facebook. I can make this happen at work with XP and at home on Vista. Since there is very little tab-recovery support in IE7, it is currently at the bottom of my annoyances bin. I cant work with it for any information I need to retain.

I can make IE7 crash on fewer tabs, but it depends on the web sites open. As I see it, it has an issue with AJAX heavy sites. I'm not a web developer, so I could be misreading the issue.

EXCEPT a rare occasion when IE uses a lot of memory, or I get the sysfader error..the latter is an issue really with the OS its running on and not IE itself.. as far at the memory issue.. e I just reboot and in 1.5 minutes, the time it takes me to go get a pepsi.. im back up and no more memory problems. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~
RE: IE8 Download...
Funny part is already been hacked by a drive-by-exploit from a hacker at CANSECWEST, so is IE8 really more secure. If they can use existing hacking techniques to root a box with it on, then your browsing experience may not be any more secure than it is with IE6.0 or 7.

RE: Windows 2008 as a fileserver
All that said if you're stuck with these things we can take a shot at tuning the box some. X64 is another option that will help drastically.

I have checked the taskmgr and cpu is low 1-10% and memory low (4gb installed and 700mg - 950 mg used). Virus protection loaded (Symantec in a non-cache mode). A few of the domain admins have vista but we have no problems, so I don't know if it is because we a admins or because we have vista. I do have an xp machine next to me that doesn't experience problems, but I only use it to run other admin tools that don't run on vista (phone system etc.) Anyone have an idea what might be wrong? Or is 2008 as big a P.I.T.A. as vista is? Luke L.
