I just received an email from the World Fund For Unclaimed Lottery Prizes, 
signed in the glorious name of Doctor Peter McWealth. I am thoroughly convinced 
of its authenticity, having read that name.

The fact that the World Fund For Unclaimed Lottery Prizes' esteemed Doctor of 
Riches uses a Yahoo.com email address as well only makes me more determined to 
give them my bank details.

The sad thing is, for this approach to have made it out there, means it must 
have worked at some point? Surely not?

IMPORTANT INFORMATION/DISCLAIMER

I certainly don't have time to monitor the content of e-mail sent and received 
via this account for the purposes of ensuring compliance with anyone's policies 
and procedures. I am pretty sure that somewhere in UK legislation there is some 
politically-correct drivel that stipulates I must never send or store e-mails 
or attachments that are obscene, indecent, sexist, racist, defamatory, abusive, 
in breach of copyright, encrypted, amusing, overly long, slightly opinionated, 
anonymous, likely to harm animals or hurt the feelings of an as-yet-unspecified 
or as-yet-nonexistent minority (such as extraterrestrial eggplants). Emails of 
this nature sent in or out of this account may be intercepted and stopped by 
the system, but it's a long shot. This being the UK, even if I was prosecuted 
for breach of said email guidelines, I'd probably walk with a suspended 
sentence anyway, but if I'd forgotten to pay my car insurance, I'd most 
certainly be hung, drawn and quartered.

I am not responsible for any changes made to the message after it has been 
sent, in more or less the same way that cyclozine manufacturers aren't 
responsible for drug addicts mixing it with methadone and overdosing, so I'm 
glad I cleared the confusion up there nice and early. Where opinions are 
expressed, they are not necessarily mine. However, I don't make a habit of 
expressing other people's opinions for them, so you shouldn't take that 
statement as an indication that I am in the business of providing an 
opinion-expressing service. In the event that I did, this discourse would 
provide no guarantee that I would do it anyway, but I don't, so I won't.

This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended 
solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed. If 
you are not the intended addressee, or the person responsible for delivering it 
to them, aside from the fact that you've clearly got some level of unauthorised 
access to their account or are at least engaged in some sort of fraud, I'm 
obliged to tell you that may not copy, forward disclose or otherwise use it or 
any part of it in any way. To do so may be unlawful, and as you're already 
breaking the law, I am sure that bombshell makes you quake in your boots and 
turn yourself over to law enforcement immediately. If you receive this e-mail 
by mistake, please advise the sender immediately. That would be me, and as I am 
clearly prone to sending emails to completely the wrong person, I should 
instantly be stripped of my status as a technical consultant and sent to do 
something more becoming of my stupidity, such as appearing on Big Brother, the 
X Factor or insert country name here's Got Talent.

the ESX hosts need NICs for the iSCSI connection to the datastore.  Figure on

Hi all,

I am starting to investigate moving our aging network infrastructure into the 
virtual world.

~ 10 servers, 6-7 years old

Windows 2003 domain

Exchange 2003

Citrix 4.0 farm

~190 users

After some initial discussions w/ a reseller, here's what they are recommending:

(3) DL 380 G7 servers (to host the VMs) ~$18,000

(1) Net App FAS2240 (this is the SAN that would host 12 600GB drives of storage 
for the VMs) ~$20,000

VMWare essentials plus kit (VMware software) ~$5200

(3) MS Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise (this would allow the 3 HP servers to run 4 
Windows 2008 VMs each)

I guess the way it would work is that the VMs would reside on the SAN, and the 
3 hosts would call up the SAN to load each VM utilizing the host's CPU, RAM, 
NIC, etc.)... right?

I have meetings scheduled w/ 2 other vendors, but verbally both have started 
the conversation along the same path as above.

Being very new to VM, does the above scenario seem to make sense?

It is hard for me to imagine all that traffic going between the SAN and the 
host servers w/o creating a huge bottleneck (over gig Ethernet)

Do people recommend virtualizing every server?

Domain controllers? Exchange? Citrix farm (4 server)?

Shouldn't something be left physical?

Is 7 TB of storage enough (probably only 3 usable after array config)?

Is the net app a decent appliance? $20k sounds cheap to me...

I have done a little more reading, and from what I understand w/ 3 Windows 
Enterprise licenses, I would be limiting myself to 12 VMs.

However, if I went w/ 3 Windows Datacenter licenses, for a small increase in 
price - I would get unlimited VMs?

Which would allow for actually having a testing environment, and better patch 
deployment?

Thx

I know it is no longer publically available. I've got a server that has Office

I see there are a few tools out there, but curious if anyone know which ones 
work the best.
I'm trying to simulate low bandwidth, dropped packets, and latency between a VM 
on my laptop and a server.

Any recos?


Thanks,
Jon

Just finished getting WANem running. Super easy, works perfect. Just dialed in 
50ms of delay between my VM and one of my servers.

For anyone who wants to try it, they have a vm image of it. Set it to NAT 
inside of vmware, boot it up, give it a static ip in the range your vmware 
gives out, set your VM client going through WANem to use WANem's ip as its 
default GW, hit the default GWs web interface http://WANemIP/WANem
And set whatever you want.
Pretty cool..

Looks like you can add delay, jitter, loss, packet deplication, packet 
corruption, reordering, etc.

RE: web filtering

[Matthew B Ames]

*snap*

I know that when WebMarshall decides it can't talk to a DC it blocks internet 
access.  Otherwise I rarely see it blocking anything for me (but I don't search 
for bad things at work!).  We have ours blocking .exe's and the like, it also 
allows for different max sizes of download during the day (I guess to prevent

RE: Anti-virus boot-up disks?

[Matthew B Ames]

These are hardware switches on the USB device, iirc, and thus anything on the 
USB stick should be readable/executable but if there was a virus on the say the 
PC it should not be able to copy itself onto the USB stick (or do anything 
bad(tm) to the contents of it).  Even a virus on the USB stick should not be 
able to cause any addition infections to the files on the USB device.

Well, I guess if it's read-only, a virus would have a hell of a job copying 
itself to it. But if the virus is already present when you set the switch to 
read-only, then it will still execute, I should think.

paying 25x more for the same effect a non rewritable CD/DVD gives you. If

RE: External subdomains considered dangerous?

Maybe those companies only use external hosted pop3/imap accounts (granted that

I own a .org.uk domain in the UK, and I quite often get emails (which is meant 
for the .org).  I have even had invoices, emails from their accounts 
department, etc landing in my personal email.  More recently I had a batch of 
CVs for people apply for job applications as a secretary - either they misread

[Matthew B Ames]

I am pretty sure the bloke who does the voiceover on that advert is the boss 
from Reynholm Industries, Douglas Reynholm (played by Chris Morris).  In case 
that name does not ring a bell, think of the UK IT based comedy called the IT 
Crowd

http://www.reynholm.co.uk/it.php
and
http://www.reynholm.co.uk/profile.php

it might be a cheap advert, but it has made me think about the product (and 
mention it on here - shame on me!)

I can see the body of the messages you sent from home.  I assume you use

problem with your outbound mail server...right?

Now then...from what I can garner from your typically sparse data...If you
one-off these messages it works OK, it's only when he bulk mails...so do the
end recipients ever get the message after waiting 72 hours, or have you
never been able to wait that long?  Do they ever get duplicates after 72
hours?

How many recipients are we talking about anyway?  100, 1000, ONE MILLION

RE: Email Problem

[Matthew B Ames]

I have seen that feature in Outlook 2003 before, when the emails where HTML 
formatted.  Normally when that happened my calendar entries would appear on the 
calendar but be blank.  Opening the email to read and it appeared blank, but 
hit forward or reply and the contents would appear (or at least some of the 
content appeared, long emails would still get truncated).

In our environment it was when some patches has been rolled out via Radia.  
Either a reboot, or re-registering Word/Outlook fixed it, iirc.

RE: share data with remote office

[Matthew B Ames]

How much data?

Would the remote uses being storing files on the HQ server for backup purposes 
only, or would they be working on live documents?  If working on documents 
remotely what sort of file sizes?  Would they get annoyed by a slowdown in 
opening/saving files?

What routers are currently in place at both locations?  If you only have a 
cheapo home/domestic router, then replace then with something like  Draytek 
Vigor 2820 and let that handle a site to site VPN for you.  This assumes your 
remote worker always works from the same location, connectivity would then be 
transparent to the remote user.  Otherwise as Charlie says what is the matter 
with Win 2k8 VPN?

DHCP from a Server in the WAN but I had no other issues besides, sometimes

or at least that is what I have installed on mine.  I can't say I have seen 
that happen, but I did have a cheapo Linksys/Cisco giga switch show similar 
behaviour - maybe I'll power it back up and see how it behaves.

RE: What may cause that ? Ready NAS NV+

Latest firmware now applying to my NV+, and it appears my Linksys failure isn't 
related to Netgear, a quick Google suggest the good old bulging cap issue:

RE: old cars (was RE: Vipre console hangs server on reboot)

[Matthew B Ames]

Cambelt = timing belt

VAG TDI service interval was revised from 90k miles down to 60k miles a few 
years ago, so I get to change the belt every 2 years or so.

The oil pickup is in the bottom of the sump and has a habit of getting blocked, 
especially for engines running on variable servicing (uses expensive oil, but 
means I don't have to change the oil every 10k).  If the pickup gets blocked, 
then I am sure you can guess the end results can be less than pleasant.  This 
is more of an issue on the VAG 1.8T (petrol) unit, which can mean the end of 
the turbo :(

3rd Cam belt? (would that be a timing belt?)...if you have gone through 3 in 
186k I'd be getting rid of that thing in a hurry! What's variable? Oil pickup 
change?

Being Canadian, I think there must be some terminoloy differences! :)

RE: NIC manufacturers

[Matthew B Ames]

Don't your APs have static IPs?  I was suggesting it was more likely to be a 
wireless device, rather than the AP itself.

Try a telnet on various port numbers and see if you can get response from the 
IP address to determine what the device(s) are  Otherwise ping it and start 
unplugging things till you find it (best do that out of hours, unless you want 
your boss to smack you around the head, assuming the unit is powered up out of 
normal office hours).

Or blacklist the mac address in your DHCP and assign it an address not in your 
range and see who phones up and says my iPhone / laptop from home / etc isn't 
working anymore.

RE: NIC manufacturers

Does your AP have a static address?  I would expect it to be static (or at 
least a reservation).

Is the AP running its own DHCP server, or does your normal DHCP server handle 
addresses for wireless devices too?

[ot] RE: FontZilla

[Matthew B Ames]

What the North Americans need is a trip to the UK, well Swindon in particular 
to visit our special roundabout, known as the Magic Roundabout.  It is 
constructed from five small roundabouts to generate one large one.  I guess it 
is ever Learner drivers nightmare :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Roundabout_(Swindon)

Roundabout work fine, when people know what to do on then - and blocking the 
roundabout when your exit is not clear is never going to win you any friends.  
Infact, anyone caught doing such a thing should go for a long walk off a short 
pier wearing some concrete walking boots :)

PCoIP via a DirectAccess connection

[Matthew B Ames]

The company I work for has started rolling out W7 machines, and we are using DA 
for our remote connectivity, which as a general rule seems to be doing exactly 
what it says on the tin (and it does it pretty well).

However I also use PCoIP to connect to a VDI environment for a network of a 
more classified nature, and performance for this - even for screen updates 
(typing into Notepad, etc) is pretty terrible.

Rather than getting too into the depths of this (as I am just a user, so I 
can't comment on any network specific settings), I am just wondering if other 
people have implemented this and how it fairs for users at home (ADSL 
connections, in my case I am syncing around 15meg down, .6 up).  I have tried 
switching my connectivity between PCoIP and RDP and I have found virtually no 
difference.  As a sanity check, I have tried using my old laptop connecting 
back into the same network via X-Kryptor and performance is far superior when I 
launch a remote desktop session (I have tried remote desktop connections via 
the PCoIP connection).  Therefore I am basically ruling out my connectivity at 
home from being part of the problem.

I am a pilot on this system, so it is unlikely that internet connectivity at 
the company end is saturated.

Thanks,
Matt

RE: [OT] Citibank worse at security than Sony

[Matthew B Ames]

Quote from that article:

The method is seemingly simple, but the fact that the thieves knew to focus on 
this particular vulnerability marks the Citigroup attack as especially 
ingenious, security experts said. 

One security expert familiar with the investigation wondered how the hackers 
could have known to breach security by focusing on the vulnerability in the 
browser. It would have been hard to prepare for this type of vulnerability, 
he said. The security expert insisted on anonymity because the inquiry was at 
an early stage.

I like the use of the words *especially ingenious*.  It is hardly a browser 
vulnerability, it a design and implementation issue.  It should have been 
picked up at multiple levels (design, coding, testing, etc). The security 
expert did not want his name listed incase he sounded like a wally :-)

RE: [OT]: I.T. idiots

[Matthew B Ames]

I noticed that where I work we can claim money for mile for cycling - trouble 
is the 120 mile round trip to get to work by bike makes for rather a long day!  
I have to make do with a lunchtime run when I am onsite, or a 20 mile mountain 
bike when working from home in my lunch break.

I work with a guy who just suddenly upped and went home without a word about

Thanks everyone for all the pointers. However...I think the database is 
corrupted. It can't be repaired, you can't view the database properties, it 
throws an index error every time - and according to Google, that points to a 
database corrupted beyond repair. Even though the users are still managing to 
utilize it. Somehow.

I think I may try to use this as the starting point for a larger project to get 
the myriad small Access databases dotted around the place consolidated into a 
single SQL-based system with proper maintenance and authentication etc.

I am so glad it's Friday afternoon :-)

Re: How to find a workstation







60 machines?  I would just use excel or visio or some graphics app to
map out workstation locations. Or add the full-time user name or
location in the description field in AD.

Quick and Dirty Way: If you have admin priviledges on the machines,
browse machine \\machine\c$file:///\\machine\c$ and see what users have 
profiles and
identify full-time user.  You could also probably do this by opening
registry remotely and taking a peak.

 Greetings!

 We have been directed to have all our workstations named with a
 department code, a location (State) code, and the Dell (mostly)
 service tag number...

 There is a script which will tell us, in AD, who the last person is to
 have logged into that machine.

 PROBLEM:

 1. In the summer, we have like 18 student workers.  They must find an
 unoccupied desk.  If the owner of that desk comes in, they must
 move.  They have no assigned desk.  (A single user may need to move 3
 times during a single shift.)

 2. SO, in my phone system console, or in my VIPRE console, I see that
 the machine named [gibberish] has had some sort of issue with the VoIP
 system, or that there is a malware infection (and we may need to boot
 into SafeMode to do a re-scan).

 3. We see a temp worker was the last person to log into that
 workstation...

 HOW or WHAT might we use so that we can figure out which of the 60 or
 so desks actually has the machine name in question?

 Those who had us change our naming convention (and they have more
 users than to we) are in a situation where desktop systems are not
 shared.  We do not have this luxury.  The other location is finally
 beginning to understand our complaints.

 SO, is there some sort of utility, etc that would enable us to find
 the machine [gibberish], where Fred Temp was the last person
 logged in?  I'd settle for a button that would make that machine start
 beeping, if nothing else.

 Thanks!

RE: System Restore and Scareware

[Matthew B Ames]

I had one of these last night.  When I ran regedit (having logged in normally) 
it opened and then promptly closed down.  Booted into safe mode and checked the 
software\windows\currentversion\run  runonce keys for anything that looked 
suspect (running from temp, app data, etc.  Removed those keys, and the random 
named .exe they launched.

Rebooted back into windows, cleaned up the host files, and then downloaded the 
latest version of MalwareBytes.  90 minutes later and the machine reported 
itself as clean.  I need to run another scan to check and then work out what AV 
package is on there, as there were shortcuts for Norton, AVG and MacCr@ppy on 
the desktop.

Subject: System Restore and Scareware

I've had a couple of recent cases of scareware infecting some Windows XP Pro 
systems here. One reported lots of virus infestations and prevented the user 
from accessing the internet and, for a low price, would fix all. The other 
reported that the hard drive had tons of errors and the boot sector was gone, 
etc. And for a small fee, their utility could fix it. This system was unusable.

Maybe this is pretty basic but I haven't seen mention of it but in both cases, 
Window's System Restore easily removed both. I've seen descriptions of fixing 
infected systems involving fairly complex procedures and multiple utilities. I 
guess I just wanted to recommend giving System Restore a try first before 
resorting to the heavy artillery.

On the system that had the failed hard drive scareware, it was impossible to 
access System Restore in normal windows. I figured Safe Mode was the way to go 
but I discovered System Restore is not available in Safe Mode. I did learn that 
you can run System Restore in Safe Mode with Command Prompt. Just enter 
%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe at the command prompt and you're in 
System Restore. Not sure why regular Safe Mode wouldn't have that command 
available.

Hope that's of help to someone else.

the regedit window on a different desktop (not monitor - use something like

RE: server locks up

I seem to recall ICVerify being a problem for one of your (other?) servers in 
the past.  If so, did the removal of it from that machine cure problems it was

I've got a Dell Poweredge 2900 that keeps locking up for no apparent reason

point. If I reboot the server on a regular basis (2 or 3 times per week) it's 
all good, but I hate to do that. I'd like to find out what's causing this 
problem. Any suggestions where to start since there appears to be nothing in 
the event logs?

Hi,

I am looking for some sort of tool that can search an entire NAS drive for a 
certain file, display it so it can be deleted. (not much unlike agent ransack, 
windows search, etc)

A customer I am working with has 16 large drives with several TB of data on 
each and many many shares. (in the hundreds)
They have conficker  I expect to find several instances of the fake recycler 
bins, the worm copies  the autorun.inf files in these shares.
Scanning with AV takes ages because of the amount of data involved  by the 
time the scan is done  items removed - they (worm copies) already have been 
re-written again.
Is there such a tool?
Trying to get more info about the NAS model numbers  setup so to make it 
easier to narrow down what will work  what will not.

Yes - autorun is killed via GPO at the site (although it is possible the GPO 
didn't take on every machine)
Yes - it is believed that every machine is fitted with AV  it is set up 
properly. (although it is possible that a few machines have missed the install 
or AV is broke) - this part is being investigated (in order to figure out why 
it keeps re-propagating)

TIA!

Does the message size of the email in the recipient's inbox suggest is the

RE: Contingency For Home Workers

[Matthew B Ames]

If the home worker is working 100% (or a large proportion of their time) at 
home, then provide them with company equipment.  If they only work part time at 
home and break their machine / ability to connect to your corporate resources 
then make them come into the office until they fix the machine.

Initially (4 years ago), the company used to provide ADSL lines, and we used 
CheckPoint.  This meant I could only work from the one location.  CheckPoint 
was later replaced with X-Kryptor but then worked with a broadband/tethered 3g 
connection, but again this sill required a company resource (ie. laptop) to be 
at home.  Currently we do not support use of home machines apart from for 
reading email on our unclass systems.

I guess what I am saying is that, working at home is seem as a privilege rather 
than a right, so if I toasted my work laptop I would be expected to go back 
into the office and use a spare desktop until my laptop was 
rebuilt/replaced/etc.  We are moving to a more VDI based infrastructure, so 
things may be changing again, and the use of home machines connecting into our 
unclass environments may be more likely.

Subject: Contingency For Home Workers

Just looking for some thoughts/feedback on what others are doing.

We have a number of home workers who have remote access capability based around 
Oracle's Secure Global Desktop (a Tarantella WebTop derivative) and RSA SecurID 
token technology. The setup is ideal: we give the users a SecurID token and 
they use their own home broadband connection and hardware (PC/Laptop) to access 
the company systems.

However we had a scenario over last weekend whereby one home worker decided to 
upgrade to Internet Explorer 9 and yes you've guessed it Oracle's Secure Global 
Desktop stopped working due to Java issues. I've now been asked to come up with 
a cost effective contingency plan should such a situation arise again. My 
initial thoughts would be to get the users to use Firefox or Safari instead of 
IE. Although I don't think you can force users to use something they may be do 
not want to, especially as it their own personal kit.

So, it brings me to the question of how do other people/businesses deal with 
the whole home worker scenario, especially when faced with hardware issues or 
software upgrades gone bad?

RE: VOIP design questions

Subject: VOIP design questions

Folks,

We are planning to retire our current phone system and move to a Mitel VOIP 
system.  Not having implemented VOIP before, I have some questions for those of 
you that have:

- our vendor claims our current data network can easily handle VOIP traffic 
since it's a small amount of traffic (don't know exact amount yet, still 
awaiting vendor response).  As such, they tell it is possible to use our 
current network to accommodate voice and data.  I'm not sure if Im comfortable 
with this.  I was thinking of a more segregated approach:  different network 
and voice and data never intersect.
- our vendor claims we can use the existing data jack for the phones, and plug 
the desktop PCs/laptops into the phone as a sort of switch.  I'm thinking this 
would add another level of complexity:  phone is broke and by the way you can't 
get on the network now.
- the reason the vendor suggests the above is that the current voice drops 
(cat5) terminate to phone patch panels (in most cases). Those cables would need 
to be cut and re-terminated to switches.

So I have some concerns about our vendor claims.  The dollar figure they 
propose does not include network changes, new switches, etc.  Looking at the 
cost proposal, I am thinking there are quite a few hardware and man-hours costs 
missing.

What do you folks do for VOIP?

Thanks,
Tom

Directly supporting Drobo devices is new to me - but in the past two weeks I 
have come to the conclusion that these things are not worth the support

drops.

Does anyone have any insight into similar issues, or (hopefully) anything to 
the contrary?  Thanks!

RE: APC battery tray

[Matthew B Ames]

Is possible the batters have started to expand and are now jammed into the tray?

Check the voltage across the batteries, if it 0vdc (or pretty close) then you 
need not really worry about them shorting out, imho.

Subject: APC battery tray

Any tips for getting the batteries out of the tray in an APC UPS? Our 
rackmount APC takes 4 batteries and they appear to be *glued* into the tray.
The guy at Batteries Plus was shocked that he couldn't get 'em out with a 
screwdriver by prying on them.

A friend on another list suggested soaking the bottom of the tray in Goo Gone, 
but I'm afraid that might short out the batteries or something even worse... Is 
that likely to be safe and does anyone have any clue what APC used to secure 
the batteries into the tray?

RE: Social networking fun

[Matthew B Ames]

The approach the company I work for is to say that you should not spend more 
than 1 hour per day on social networking/personal webmail/etc sites per day.  I 
assume they just gather up the proxy logs and scan them though looking for 
offenders.  Obviously leaving facebook open on a tab with some of 
itself-updating bits could soon get you into trouble!

The idea that I am trying to get is that it might be better to try and make it 
self-policed by the end users.

I use iPrism and I am pretty sure you can report on, and categorize, such sites

You can also make user defined site categories and put sites in those 
categories for reports or filtering.

Subject: Social networking fun

Does anyone know of any way to effectively police the use of social networking 
in an environment? We have just been told that for some reason all employees 
are to be allowed unrestricted access to social networking sites, but obviously 
the management want to know whether users are taking a lend, and spending all 
day on FarmVille or Bejewelled or looking at pictures of their mates instead of 
updating our customer base as to events and launches. There are a few Web 2.0 
appliances that I have heard of that claim to be able to perform in-depth 
filtering of social networking and microblogging sites, but I was just 
wondering what other people who have had this issue may have deployed to get 
around this.

We already have WebSense here, but it's not clever enough to differentiate 
between business and leisure usage of certain sites, at least certainly not 
the version we currently use.


TIA,



JRR
