Are they being sent through Exchange?  I didn't see the original post 
describing the problem, but was wondering if this is the same problem as 
winmail.dat attachments going out to non-outlook folks.

RE: Auto Archive Loosing Email

2011-05-13 Thread Terry Dickson
My first thought is how big is his Archive, is it over 2GB?

Subject: Auto Archive Loosing Email

Hi Guys,

I'm very confused and hope someone can help shed some light on the situation.

I have a client who has AutoArchive turned on within Outlook 2007.
Connected to Exchange 2003.

Suposedly and I haven't seen this myself emails are autoarchiving and NOT
being put into his archive folders.

For example under: Inbox\Projects\Client X there are several emails that
have been auto archived.

Checking Archive Folders\Projects\Client X shows none of the missing emails.

Can anyone provide a suggestion or two?

Shawn

Re: Contingency For Home Workers

2011-05-13 Thread Jon Harris
Considering where I work most of the non-IT users and all of the
customers would not want anyone other than IT controlling the hardware and
software for all the machines at work.  Think HIPPA, SOX, and a couple
more.  Even the IT users using non-company hardware cann't do much without
connecting to Office machines to do what they want.  A select few only have
direct access to the servers and that only thru company controlled
machines.  The rest only have access to a set of machines that could be used
to control/manage the servers.  Remote access to servers and desktops is
restricted to a central set of machines with very tight controls.  IT users
using non-company machines like iPads are severely restricted in what they
can and can not do.  Sure makes it nice that the company supplies IT users
needing remote access nice laptops but if you are out an about and get an
alert of an issue looking at what the issue is can be done from a iPad or BB
without having to get an Internet connection and only find out it is
something fairly minor that would wait until you get home to deal with.  The
redundancies are very nice something major happens and the entire network
could be switched to the redundant network in seconds if not less.

Auto Archive Loosing Email

2011-05-13 Thread Shawn Everett
Hi Guys,

I'm very confused and hope someone can help shed some light on the situation.

I have a client who has AutoArchive turned on within Outlook 2007. 
Connected to Exchange 2003.

Suposedly and I haven't seen this myself emails are autoarchiving and NOT
being put into his archive folders.

For example under: Inbox\Projects\Client X there are several emails that
have been auto archived.

Checking Archive Folders\Projects\Client X shows none of the missing emails.

Can anyone provide a suggestion or two?

Shawn

It is a new install.   Thought about the patching as well but it may not be

Is this a new install?  If not, maybe a software update did it.

Also, every W2k8 server I've checked used the Local System account for the

Re: Computer Ghost Imaging software taking 5 hours to image to Portable USB Drive

Why not attach the USB drive directly to the PC your imaging? Would be
simpler and eliminate the network as a potential bottleneck IMHO. Also, I've
found Acronis to be much faster than Ghost 11.5, in my experience.

RE: lenovo workstations/desktops?

2011-05-13 Thread Sam Cayze
For what its worth, I know with dell you can still put any warranty you want
on refurbished and off lease machines.  Support doesn't treat them any
diffrrently. So if you ever have an issue, the parts still get replaced.

I'd be surprised if the same didn't hold true for IBM.

Do I do it? No.  I'm frugal as heck, but I still want to order the machines
exactly the way I want them with, matching specs across the board.

It ended up being a stupid firewall rule that was hidden so the route was not 
open any-any.  Thanks for the suggestions!

RE: Powershell help

2011-05-13 Thread Webster
Except for the email stuff, it worked perfect on my Win7 PC.

 

 

Webster

 

From: Michael B. Smith [mailto:mich...@smithcons.com] 
Subject: RE: Powershell help

 

So.. I replied to him offlist. But the application issue is pretty generic.
Note that I am not a master-developer. I just get by.

 

There are 3 things at play here:

 

1] COM+, while it can be easily used within PowerShell,
doesn't really respect the garbage collector (nor will it ever - it's not a
managed interface)

 

2] .Net holds file locks until the object owning the file
lock is disposed and its memory is garbage collected

 

3] NTFS doesn't allow you to actually remove a file while a
file lock still exists - however it does allow you to enqueue a single
pending file removal operation

 

And I guess a fourth one:

 

4] Unless you specifically tell PowerShell to clean up, it
doesn't clean up until the PowerShell session exits

 

Now, the first three items are not PowerShell specific. They are true in all
Windows programming and something that any developer eventually learns to
handle (or they just release crappy code, that happens too).

 

PowerShell hides most of this from you because of item (4). You close your
PowerShell session - and most things get cleaned up. Most PowerShell scripts
do not illustrate proper cleanup because of this. COM doesn't get
automatically cleaned up, but that's RELATIVELY low-use.

 

So, the first thing I illustrate is about items 1 - 3 (you need a writable
c:\temp directory for this to work):

 

Echo "hi`nhi`nhi`n" > c:\temp\file.txt

$imsg = new-object -com cdo.message

$iBP = $imsg.AddAttachment( "c:\temp\file.txt" )  ## bp
stands for "body part", "I" is for "interface"

$iBP.SaveToFile( "c:\temp\file2.txt" )  ## create owner-lock
on file2.txt

$iBP = $null

[GC]::Collect()   ## this releases lock on file2.txt but not
on file.txt, because iBP is simply an interface on imsg.

Erase c:\temp\file2.txt ## does remove file

Erase c:\temp\file.txt ## does not remove file - but does
create a pending remove operation

Dir c:\temp\fil*.txt ## prove it :-)

$imsg = $null

[GC]::Collect()

## file should be gone

Dir c:\temp\fil*.txt ## prove it :-)

 

This example show how NTFS allows you to create a pending delete operation
and it will execute that operation when the file lock is removed. But the
file doesn't actually get removed until the lock is released.

 

It also illustrates how to clean up these specific COM objects and release
their memory and it proves the operation of each of items 1 - 3.

 

The second example is more complicated. In this case, we have a CDO.Message
object that has zero or more attachments. So the example can be
self-contained, we create the message and it's attachments. Where is message
actually comes from is irrelevant to the example.

 

  # part A

Echo "hi`nhi`nhi`n" > c:\temp\file.txt

$imsg = new-object -com cdo.message

$iBP1 = $imsg.AddAttachment( "c:\temp\file.txt" )  ## bp
stands for "body part", "I" is for "interface"

cp c:\temp\file.txt c:\temp\file1.txt ## to have a second
file to attach

$iBP2 = $imsg.AddAttachment( "c:\temp\file1.txt" )

 

In the second part of the example, we process the message and split out each
attachment and forward that attachment (using email) to someone else. Note
that the message itself is a COM+ object, but we use a .Net mechanism for
sending email. In order for this to interop between COM and .Net properly,
we save the message to a file as an intermediate location, and we want to
clean up that file when we are done.

 

   # part B

$i = 2

Foreach( $attach in $imsg.Attachments ) ## examine each
attachment in the message

{

$attach.SaveToFile(
"c:\temp\file$($i.ToString()).txt" )

$fileattachment =
"c:\temp\file$($i.ToString()).txt"

$i++

$mailer = new-object Net.Mail.SMTPclient(
"win2008r2ex2010", 25 )

$msg = new-object Net.Mail.MailMessage(
"mich...@theessentialexchange.com", "mich...@smithcons.com", "Attachment
test" , "" )

$attachment = new-object
Net.Mail.Attachment( $fileattachment )

$msg.attachments.add( $attachment )

$mailer.send($msg)

 

# clean up mailer - but note - I CANNOT
fully clean up $attach because $imsg doesn't belong to my scope!

RE: Powershell help

2011-05-13 Thread Michael B. Smith
So I replied to him offlist. But the application issue is pretty generic. 
Note that I am not a master-developer. I just get by.

There are 3 things at play here:

1] COM+, while it can be easily used within PowerShell, doesn't 
really respect the garbage collector (nor will it ever - it's not a managed 
interface)

2] .Net holds file locks until the object owning the file lock 
is disposed and its memory is garbage collected

3] NTFS doesn't allow you to actually remove a file while a 
file lock still exists - however it does allow you to enqueue a single pending 
file removal operation

And I guess a fourth one:

4] Unless you specifically tell PowerShell to clean up, it 
doesn't clean up until the PowerShell session exits

Now, the first three items are not PowerShell specific. They are true in all 
Windows programming and something that any developer eventually learns to 
handle (or they just release crappy code, that happens too).

PowerShell hides most of this from you because of item (4). You close your 
PowerShell session - and most things get cleaned up. Most PowerShell scripts do 
not illustrate proper cleanup because of this. COM doesn't get automatically 
cleaned up, but that's RELATIVELY low-use.

So, the first thing I illustrate is about items 1 - 3 (you need a writable 
c:\temp directory for this to work):

Echo "hi`nhi`nhi`n" > c:\temp\file.txt
$imsg = new-object -com cdo.message
$iBP = $imsg.AddAttachment( "c:\temp\file.txt" )  ## bp stands 
for "body part", "I" is for "interface"
$iBP.SaveToFile( "c:\temp\file2.txt" )  ## create owner-lock on 
file2.txt
$iBP = $null
[GC]::Collect()   ## this releases lock on file2.txt but not on 
file.txt, because iBP is simply an interface on imsg.
Erase c:\temp\file2.txt ## does remove file
Erase c:\temp\file.txt ## does not remove file - but does 
create a pending remove operation
Dir c:\temp\fil*.txt ## prove it :-)
$imsg = $null
[GC]::Collect()
## file should be gone
Dir c:\temp\fil*.txt ## prove it :-)

This example show how NTFS allows you to create a pending delete operation and 
it will execute that operation when the file lock is removed. But the file 
doesn't actually get removed until the lock is released.

It also illustrates how to clean up these specific COM objects and release 
their memory and it proves the operation of each of items 1 - 3.

The second example is more complicated. In this case, we have a CDO.Message 
object that has zero or more attachments. So the example can be self-contained, 
we create the message and it's attachments. Where is message actually comes 
from is irrelevant to the example.

  # part A
Echo "hi`nhi`nhi`n" > c:\temp\file.txt
$imsg = new-object -com cdo.message
$iBP1 = $imsg.AddAttachment( "c:\temp\file.txt" )  ## bp stands 
for "body part", "I" is for "interface"
cp c:\temp\file.txt c:\temp\file1.txt ## to have a second file 
to attach
$iBP2 = $imsg.AddAttachment( "c:\temp\file1.txt" )

In the second part of the example, we process the message and split out each 
attachment and forward that attachment (using email) to someone else. Note that 
the message itself is a COM+ object, but we use a .Net mechanism for sending 
email. In order for this to interop between COM and .Net properly, we save the 
message to a file as an intermediate location, and we want to clean up that 
file when we are done.

   # part B
$i = 2
Foreach( $attach in $imsg.Attachments ) ## examine each 
attachment in the message
{
$attach.SaveToFile( 
"c:\temp\file$($i.ToString()).txt" )
$fileattachment = 
"c:\temp\file$($i.ToString()).txt"
$i++
$mailer = new-object Net.Mail.SMTPclient( 
"win2008r2ex2010", 25 )
$msg = new-object Net.Mail.MailMessage( 
"mich...@theessentialexchange.com", 
"mich...@smithcons.com", "Attachment test" , "" )
$attachment = new-object Net.Mail.Attachment( 
$fileattachment )
$msg.attachments.add( $attachment )
$mailer.send($msg)

# clean up mailer - but note - I CANNOT fully 
clean up $attach because $imsg doesn't belong to my scope!

the attachment. Otherwise, because o

Re: lenovo workstations/desktops?

2011-05-13 Thread Cameron
Actually, there is a good reason to go 'off-lease' ...depending of course...
One place had a mix'o'crap (VERY old crap) and they would not let me refresh
everything, so I found a good deal on off-lease and bought about 250 of them
(all identical models). Since they were the same, ghosting them was a
snap...no fuss, no muss...1 image required and I had 10 or so sitting on the
shelf pre-imaged and ready to go in case of any failures (which there were
almost none).

RE: lenovo workstations/desktops?

2011-05-13 Thread John Aldrich
Well, my point was that "off-lease" stuff typically still has a LOT of life
left in it, for a fraction of the price of brand new. :D But I see your
point. Just pointing out that anyone that is "budget conscious" might want
to consider it. Of course, if you don't care about budget and just want to
get something rock-solid (or as close as you can get) then buying a new
IBM/Lenovo PC would definitely be something to consider.

RE: Computer Ghost Imaging software taking 5 hours to image to Portable USB Drive

Subject: Computer Ghost Imaging software taking 5 hours to image to Portable
USB Drive

 

I know this is a little off topic but I could not find a lyris group that
covers computer imaging.

 

(1) Does Anyone know of a way to speed up Symantec Ghost 11.5 Corporate
Edition imaging to portable USB drives or better imaging product for this?
I just imaged a windows 7 Professional machine that has 32GB of hard drive
space used and it took close to 5 hours.  This is how I had it set up
scenorio I used:

 

D-Link 10/100 switch connected to a Client Network Interface Card (NIC)
Windows 7 Professional 32 bit Machine has a installed a 3COM PCI 3C905-TX
10/100 NIC (I use this NIC card to avoid always having to figure out and add
new PC NIC drivers to Ghost boot media/devices) on a Dell Vostro Desktop
system IPV4 on IPv6 off.  Host is a Dell Inspiron Laptop XP Professional 32
bit NIC- is Broadcom 440x 10/100.  Connected to the laptop is a Western
digital 500GB USB Drive (not sure of the speed but think it is 7200).

 

Method I use is on the Host Server (the Laptop) use GhostServer and boot the
client from a USB Pen Drive go to ghost application/ghostcast/Multicast
connect via predetermined Static IP.

 

(2)Also does anyone know if sysprep still needs to be incorporated in
Windows 7 images?

  First step: Back a full backup of the current state, to *new media*.
 (Keep that old backup around untouched.)  If the regular backup
solution won't work, use a plain file copy of everything you can, to
an external medium (external USB-attach hard drive, for example).  It
may have some bad data, but if the RAID array acts up again, something
may be better than nothing.

  If there are data export options in the software, use those as well
(in addition to, not instead of).  This may be helpful if you have to
restore an old backup and then try and feed the more recent changes
back in to it.

  I suspect you're going to have to restore the system from the
backup.  It sounds like the system's fairly well hosed.  Putting a
system back together at that point is often like putting Humpty Dumpty
back together.

  Call experts.

  Call Dell for help with the RAID controller.  You should have done
that when things first went nuts; there may have been a better way to
revive the RAID array.  There may also be firmware updates you need to
install on the controller or drives.

  Call your application software vendors for assistance analyzing the
state of their software, and figuring out where to go from here.  They
may have ways to test the integrity of their database, or to export
data in a way

  Call Microsoft on Exchange and Windows issues.

Computer Ghost Imaging software taking 5 hours to image to Portable USB Drive

2011-05-13 Thread Darin McHenry
I know this is a little off topic but I could not find a lyris group that
covers computer imaging.

(1) Does Anyone know of a way to speed up Symantec Ghost 11.5 Corporate
Edition imaging to portable USB drives or better imaging product for
this?  I just imaged a windows 7 Professional machine that has 32GB of hard
drive space used and it took close to 5 hours.  This is how I had it set up
scenorio I used:

D-Link 10/100 switch connected to a Client Network Interface Card (NIC)
Windows 7 Professional 32 bit Machine has a installed a 3COM PCI 3C905-TX
10/100 NIC (I use this NIC card to avoid always having to figure out and add
new PC NIC drivers to Ghost boot media/devices) on a Dell Vostro Desktop
system IPV4 on IPv6 off.  Host is a Dell Inspiron Laptop XP Professional 32
bit NIC- is Broadcom 440x 10/100.  Connected to the laptop is a Western
digital 500GB USB Drive (not sure of the speed but think it is 7200).

Method I use is on the Host Server (the Laptop) use GhostServer and boot the
client from a USB Pen Drive go to ghost
application/ghostcast/Multicast connect via predetermined Static IP.

(2)Also does anyone know if sysprep still needs to be incorporated in
Windows 7 images?

Thank You,
Darin McHenry

RE: lenovo workstations/desktops?

2011-05-13 Thread John Aldrich
I have *little* experience with Lenovo/IBM machines. We have a couple older
machines, and I have to say, I have no problems with the hardware, other
than it is a few generations out of date (i.e. P3/P4 instead of the latest
multi-core CPU, etc.) 
Lenovo/IBM have a reputation for being rock-solid hardware, which I think is
probably mostly well-deserved. On the other hand, you're definitely paying
for that reputation. Still, if you're wanting to buy some hardware that will
last for a VERY long time with little maintenance, I think you could do a
lot worse than Lenovo/IBM. OTOH, you'll probably end up paying a good
premium over, say Dell or some other name-brand PC.
You might look at refurbished IBM/Lenovo hardware if you want to get
IBM/Lenovo hardware but don't really want to pay the full price. Off-lease
stuff like that still has a lot of life left in it and so might be a good
value.

Re: Server 2008 R2 PKI questions - long and complicated...

Anders,

Thank you very much. The news that R2 Standard can be an Enterprise CA
issuing V2 certs is very welcome. A two tier solution sounds about
right for what I'm doing. I'll need to evaluate if OCSP, NDES and role
separation will be required.

Re: lenovo workstations/desktops?

2011-05-13 Thread Cameron
Most of our desktops here are either IBM or Lenovo and are rock solid. In 3
1/2 years I've only had a couple of power supplies go and usually it's
usually because of the multiple families of dust bunnys that are living in
the machines (they are all in pretty harsh environments). At my last gig
they were ALL IBM's and they suffered very few failures as well.

Bottom line...I like them!

The normal recommendation is an isolated (and physically very secure) root
and one or more tiers of issuing CA's, which can be Enterprise CA's if
that's what you need. Enterprise CA != Enterprise Edition.
Do you forsee the need for issuing CA's in your remote offices? Few things
require an instant cert (notably, health certificates is one of those so if
you're doing NPS with your DA then you need instant certificates) which
means the stability of the site to site VPN shouldn't matter much.
If you cannot guarantee the safety of the offline root then more than one
tier shouldn't matter much unless you have the need for delegation. You can
use secondary tiers to control issuing policies.

Most likely not. You cannot modify V1 templates in any way. Happily, 2008 R2

SBS 2008 Configured w/RAID 10 - Disk Failure - Restore Options

2011-05-13 Thread Gary Sanderson
Folks, I need some help.

Our SBS 2008 server (Dell Poweredge t 300) is configured with RAID 10,
4x250GB drives on a PERC 6 i controller.  It appears we have one drive that
is on it's way out, it started producing errors earlier in the week and on
Wednesday about 2 PM it took the RAID off line and would not restore with
all 4 drives in a foreign state.  After clearing the preserved cache, it
would not allow the foreign config to be imported, the RAID came back with 3
of the 4 on and one rebuilding.  After the server was restarted a chkdsk was
ran and the process found quite a few error that it appeared to correct on
the OS partition. The server came up online with users able to log in and
get to the Church Management software but not able to connect to the
Exchange server.  I have not parsed through all the error events but there
were several stating registry problems and we also do not have DHCP any
more.  I can not seem to get DHCP running at all.

The next bump on this road is the most recent known good backup is about 2
months old and there has of course been quite a bit of activity in the CMS
over the 2 months, as well as some other stuff, but that data is stored on
the data partition which had very few errors on chkdsk.  The CMS data seems
to be ok, and I can use it's backup utility to to recover it over it's data
up to last week or early this week so if I had to use the 2 month old system
backup to recover the OS partition.

My real question is what are my recovery options?
(1) A system state restore?
(2) OS partition restore?
(3) OS partition and system state restore?
(4) other?

As a volunteer server admin hack, I am turning to you guys for some
assistance to help my overtaxed brain.

Yes Kurt [thanks]. The users in the department do not have local admin

While Google itself (well, in the person of Tavis) is famous for not 
responsibly disclosing vulnerabilities it finds, Vupen's work strikes me as 
downright (let me make clear - this is my opinion) criminal.

They have determined a critical security vulnerability and they don't intend to 
share it with anyone EXCEPT their paying customers? Not even with the vendor?

I consider that negligent, at best.
