RE: Trying to debug a memory.dmp file
Thanks Ken. I'll try this out. Art From: Ken Schaefer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 7:01 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Trying to debug a memory.dmp file Hi, You can do this in WinDBG Alternatively, if you want to point it to the symbols in your folder then do: SRV*d:\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols That way, WinDBG will use local symbols (if they are correct for the actual files used in the dump file), or download the symbols from the MS public symbol server if not. Then do .symfix and .reload to reload the currently used symbols.

Customer has a server that reboots by itself. Sometimes it is several times a day and then it won't do it for a few days letting me think I have fixed the problem. Same error code 8E every time and almost the same hex values also. Server is 2003 Enterprise fully patched running as a Terminal Server. Server has been fine for several years. Nothing in the event logs other than the last reboot was unexpected. Events before the reboot show someone printed something but that entry is usually 5 minutes earlier. I have verified every driver is the latest for this Dell PE1600SC. Ran the Dell diagnostics with no faults found. Downloaded the latest debugging tools (ver. 6.8.0004.0) and the latest symbols from the Microsoft website. The SP2 symbols are installed to D:\Symbols, the 2003 CD files are installed to D:\2003CD. In windbg I tell it the symbols are in D:\Symbols, executable search path is D:\2003CD\I386. No matter what I try I get the same error message: Symbol file could not be found. Defaulted to export symbols for ntkrnlmp.exe. Then under Loading User Symbols it shows PEB is paged out. Under Bugcheck Analysis it tells me that the Kernel symbols are WRONG. Please fix symbols to do analysis. Then there are eight sections that tell me I am not using the correct symbols. In order for the command to work properly the symbol path must be pointing to the .pdb files that have full type information. Anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong as my searching so far sucks as I haven't been able to figure this out. Thanks.

so that leaves the option of somehow causing the machine to bluescreen and hope it then reboots.

DMZ care and feeding
OK, we've developed a philosopical situation here regarding a DMZ server: The server hosts a public web site and database. I was told that it needed to be backed up because development was being done in it. My first consideration was a backup mechanism. It wasn't until several minutes later than I did my Donald Duck squawk questioning the wisdom of doing active development on a DMZ machine. Backing up is a bit of an issue (buy a drive, or start collecting CDs from its writable drive), but to me the bigger issue is, should we be backing this up? It seems to me that the DMZ is considered to be hackable yet isolated. Therefore, it might be best to consider that at any time (from moment #1) that it may have already been compromised. In other words, if we find that in fact it has been cracked, would we even be able to trust that which has been backed up? That we'd never be sure that we had a backup that had never been compromised in any way so it could be restored? It seems to me that, by there nature, materials on DMZ machines should be developed elsewhere, and the finished products should then be published to the DMZ machine. Personally, I'm not worried about being right or wrong here but rather wanting to follow best practices. SO,is it consistant with best practices to go ahead and do development on the DMZ system, back up source code, etc, and presume that when the system has to be re-built we can restore an uncompromized machine? Or, should I be stubborn and insist that development be done elsewhere and then published to the DMZ machine?

Heres a confusing one I have a virtual server running Windows 2003 that shuts itself down every time I log in. It will boot in safe mode or diagnostic mode without any issues, yet whenever I log on in normal mode, it shuts down. The shutdown in the event log shows as Legacy API shutdown and comes from NT Authority. The UPS service is stopped, and there are no patches pending or trying to install.

The trick is RODC’s and correct setup of sites. If sites are configured correctly then rebooting a remote DC due to print queue issues (hopefully fairly rare I know they are for me) should not pose a problem as authentication at those times will simply be directed to the next best available DC. RODC removes much of the worry regarding lower or non-existent security measures at smaller branch offices.

I discovered a kind and tolerant society, job opportunities that were previously denied to me due to age/race/gender and absolute freedom of movement and a sense of safety. Not so back in South Africa. On returning for the funeral of my father, I have found a society bitter, disillusioned and bent out of shape by the ravages of past injustices, poverty, and greed. Over 50 murders, 150 rapes, 340 armed robberies per *day*. Not to mention the hundreds of vehicle hijackings, cash-in-transit heists and blown-up cash machines. I won't even mention the atrocities against children, some as young as 3 months old. Then there is the maniac just to the north in Zimbabwe running a country with 100,000% annual inflation.

Testing a VM Environment Through a Firewall (OT?)
Hi all, I have a test environment in VMWare running on a Windows Vista Box. The Windows Vista NIC is in the DMZ and has an IP of 10.1.0.10. I have an ISA Server running in VMWare using Bridged Networking with an IP of 10.1.0.221. The Windows Vista Firewall is disabled. The Main Firewall has a NAT to allow the public IP to 10.1.0.221. When I attempt to connect on the appropriate port for the rule, it says denied on the main firewall and references ARP. Should I be using some other configuration other than bridged for VMWARE Networking to get this working?

RE: XP Plug and Play printers GPO
Got that set also, it seems...and google backs it up.that this does not fix the issue for USB printers. USB printers seem to install more as a device rather than a 'printer', as far as XP is concerned. So far the combo I am trying is having the users as power users, allow load and unload device drivers + disabled 'prevent users from installing printer drivers' (although that should not impact power users per MS) and I am even allowing silent succeed on unsigned drivers. I plug in the USB printer and it detects and instantly says you need to be an admin and asks for credentials.

RE: My most ignorant question to date.
So what I picture in my mind of your configuration is simply two RAID arrays on one channel. Each drive having a different SCSI ID yet grouped together into two separate arrays. I assume you are not also mirroring the two arrays (RAID 10) and they contain different data. In my experience with Compaq RAID controllers, you should be able to add the second controller connect the desired array and during post of the controller, read the RAID configuration from the disk to the controller memory to speed up the RAID array move to the new controller. Of course you want a good backup anyway but the older Compaq RAID controllers had that ability. Even some of the Dell Perc controllers can do this as well. Regards, Dave From: David W. McSpadden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2008 3:25 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: My most ignorant question to date. I know it is hard to believe but here goes. I have a RAID array attached to a RAID array attached to a Smart Array controller. This works but I believe I have an idea to make things faster by backing up RAID array 1 then adding a second Smart Array controller. Moving RAID array 1 to Smart Array controller 2. Then restore data to new Logical drive on new Smart Array controller. This should be RAID array 1 a lot faster, yes? ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja!~ ~ http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm ~

Re: DMZ care and feeding
On Thu, Mar 13, 2008 at 3:56 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: OK, we've developed a philosopical situation here regarding a DMZ server: The server hosts a public web site and database. I was told that it needed to be backed up because development was being done in it. My first consideration was a backup mechanism. It wasn't until several minutes later than I did my Donald Duck squawk questioning the wisdom of doing active development on a DMZ machine. Wisdom? Try insanity instead. A proper development cycle has separate environments for development, testing, staging and production, though sometimes testing and staging are compressed, which I consider risky. Backing up is a bit of an issue (buy a drive, or start collecting CDs from its writable drive), but to me the bigger issue is, should we be backing this up? It seems to me that the DMZ is considered to be hackable yet isolated. Therefore, it might be best to consider that at any time (from moment #1) that it may have already been compromised. In other words, if we find that in fact it has been cracked, would we even be able to trust that which has been backed up? That we'd never be sure that we had a backup that had never been compromised in any way so it could be restored? Well, if you're considering it *only* as a production system, whether or not to back it up becomes an issue of whether the data changes, if those changes are desired and whether those changes come from end-users, or if they are only updates from an internal system that are published to end-users. It seems to me that, by there nature, materials on DMZ machines should be developed elsewhere, and the finished products should then be published to the DMZ machine. Yes. Absolutely agree. Personally, I'm not worried about being right or wrong here but rather wanting to follow best practices. SO,is it consistant with best practices to go ahead and do development on the DMZ system, back up source code, etc, and presume that when the system has to be re-built we can restore an uncompromized machine? Or, should I be stubborn and insist that development be done elsewhere and then published to the DMZ machine? Right and wrong, in this case, is about following good development practices.

RE: XP Plug and Play printers GPO
We don't give them admin rights under any circumstances. Not on a desktop, not on a laptop, not on nothin'. In our case, we don't want them connecting their hardware to ours anyway. So if their home printer doesn't work, it's fine by us. As I mentioned earlier, you could have them share their home printer. They can then connect to the shared printer from their laptop without admin rights (and without having to unplug the printer from their home computer to plug into the laptop). That seems like an easy solution. Works better with some printers than others, though, depending on the drivers.

RE: XP Plug and Play printers GPO
I've usually had good success with installing the software for the printer and then when they plug it in it'll pick it up and work fine. This is done logged in as admin. If it's a multifunction you can just run the software without plugging the printer in. If it's a regular printer just install it and tell it to be on the parallel port, then when you plug it into the usb it'll usually work. Mark - Two rules to success in life: 1.

Commvault resumability question
I just attended a Commvault demo yesterday at their Oceanport HQ yesterday and had a chance to go over a lot of their features. So far I'm very happy with what I've seen. Not having an in house demo install (something they are very reluctant to give us) is a sticking point so I need to reach out to others for practical feedback. They talk about their ability to resume backups based on checkpoints of data blocks already processed to tape (or another location). This is something that would really matter to me. For one thing I wouldn't need to purchase a spare tape drive that sits idle waiting for restore operations like I currently have and would have to buy in my new library. Since restores are a higher priority the backup or duplication job would pause, the tape being written to would eject, the restore tape would load and run and then the previous operation would start where it left off. I questioned Commvault heavily about this feature and they swear it works as advertised. I've since had an external source say that it kind of works but not nearly as well as Commvault claims. Who has experience with this feature and what are your thoughts on it? - Jer ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja!~ ~ http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm ~

RE: Remote server won't allow management
Just an interesting story, I once had a Ricoh copier that I was trying to setup to send scanned documents to a share... The way the share was specified was a machine name, share name, and folder name (folder within the share). If I remember correctly, if you put a full sharename\folder address in the share section (minus the \\machine part) instead of just the share name, it would reboot the workstation. I know it wasn't just a blue screen, as I had auto-reboot turned off and would have seen it when I got back to the workstation.. nothing in the event logs either, just POOF and it reboots. I was in a hurry and eventually figured out my error and got it working properly, but never actually investigated as to how it rebooted the workstation -cb -Original Message- From: Peter van Houten [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2008 2:36 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Remote server won't allow management OK, so nmap against ports 1433 and 1434 and then grab your metasploit or head over here: http://tinyurl.com/rcah3 Alternatively, give the list the box's ip address and an offer of $(datacentre_charge_per_hour-1) for the 1st successful reboot ;-) On the 13/03/2008 20:59, David W.

RE: backup exec question
Yes, but BackupExec can only send one job at a time to a single tape drive. Other jobs wait in a queue until the previous job completes. CA ARCserve also streams (multiplexes) multiple jobs to a single job, thereby improving tape write efficiency substantially.

Re: backup exec question
Ara, Try staging to disk with multiple streams and then moving to tape. That'll shorten your backup window and won't require additional tape hardware and will provide you with faster backups. A word of caution. My existing BUE environment doesn't dupe to tape well so I would test in your environment first for reliability. This is why I'm moving away from BUE. - Jer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Roger Wright [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 03/13/2008 03:33:08 PM: “Also is there any way to have multiple backup jobs going to tape at the same time?” No, and this is one of my big disappointments with BUE.

But as James pointed out, the integrity of the RPC channel must be intact. I have experienced the frustration of being able to ping a system but not being able to communicate in any other way else.
