RE: HP AiO 1200 storage system

[Joseph L. Casale]

Yea, I dunno why the community abbreviates it iet, but the written name is 
Enterprise iSCSI Target. The config file is iet.conf for example... It is the 
same thing.

Yes, iet is target software.

Not sure what you mean exactly by your third statement? So as far as the ini 
goes, you have had more luck with the windows ini versus one of the Linux 
ini's? That's pretty broad, which Linux ini and what target was behind both?

iSCSI is very topology/infrastructure sensitive, that shouldn't scare you, but 
if you run it over 150 meters of ratty cable on an old 100Mb D-link hub with 
the fan burnt out you might have issues:P On the other hand, if you use "insert 
one of big 3" switches and good nics with good cables across the rack in a 
datacenter its going to work very good.

What do you mean with IET's performance is really
good?

IET doesn't stand for iSCSI Enterprise Target? I'm
talking about using this machine as iSCSI server (or
target or whichever term you want to use).

My experience was that with iSCSI windows initiators
works good, with Linux, doesn't.

RE: Shutdown script

[Greg Mulholland]

Yeah i agree that wpad might be the best option. I am fast coming to a 
realisation that this may not work the way they want it too and the will have 
to re-draw and do it an easier way.

I did find some reading on creating wpad.dat and proxy,pac files here 
http://www.ideaspace.net/users/wkearney/archives/entries/000494.html and the 
link you gave me i had found as well since our last mail.

The gpo route is a pain and seems not to work in my testing because afact the 
machine when in shutdown mode seems to lock the registry writes for the current 
users or all together. It was fun while it lasted!

I also agree with the security group filtering. i had thought of this but also 
when shy'd away from it due to the messiness of the implementation.

Thanks for the eyes

AFAIK – wpad.dat files are the same as proxy.pac files. You set a DHCP option 
(or create a DNS wpad host name) to tell the clients which host they can 
request the wpad.dat file from. But the actual contents of a wpad.dat file are 
the same as proxy.pac files: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Proxy_Autodiscovery_Protocol. I would suggest 
that this is the best way forward for your situation, as it’s the lowest 
maintenance.

For the GPO method – you could either:

a)  Apply the shutdown script to all users – since that’s how they are 
getting the settings. Users that have desktops would just get the setting again 
when they next start up the machine

b)  Use a GPO that is scoped to the machines in question (e.g. use an OU 
for laptops or a security group containing laptop computer objects to filter 
the GPO), and use the loopback policy processing option (but I don’t really 
recommend this – it can become a maintenance nightmare)

RE: GB switches

[Cesare' A. Ramos]

Agreed with past posts with regards to the 1GB thought.

We have rolled out Asterisk, 3Com NBX, 3Com VXC, Avaya, and Cisco.  Never saw 
the need for 1GB switches at all end points.  But would highly recommend POE 
functionality.

As per switch, I am on the same snob group as Phil.  I go ballistic whenever I 
see or hear an office running a DLink, Netgear, or Belkin.  We have had great 
success with 3Com (primarily 3Com 4500 POE family) and Cisco.  Of course 3Com 
is a bit lower in cost then Cisco.

Lates.

Subject: GB switches

Perhaps a wee bit OT, and I know there are some of you who sell and 
service Cisco.  However...

Currently most of our network is on fast ethernet.  (We have a couple of 
racks, each of which has a small GB switch to tie the servers in that rack 
together.)

We are soon to dump our NEC PBX and go with VOIP.  (It will _not_ be Cisco 
or Avaya VOIP.)  We need more robust switches...

Currently, we have about 100 desks, each with an XP Pro PC and a phone. We 
will be going with VOIP phones (Polycom) rather than "soft phones".

NOW, although we have some of their products and appreciate them, none of 
us are "Cisco people", either by devotion or in knowing how to manage 
them.  We have some folks recommending Cisco GB switches.  We have another 
group recommending (highly, and some of them are our equivalent in the NYC 
office) Extreme Networks BlackDiamond switches.

Does anyone "out there" have enough experience with the products of both 
companies to be able to tell us the advantages of each?  For example, 
might the Extremes be easier for a non-certified user to do port 
management?  Anyone come across any tests as far as reliablility (both for 
HW failure and for dropped packets), etc?

Thanks!

RE: Shutdown script

[Ken Schaefer]

OK - still a bit unsure what's going on here;


a)  WPAD is proxy independent as far as I know. You could use either DNS or 
DHCP to specify the proxy info location. Is there some reason you can't do that?

b)  WRT to OUs/GPOs - how are you getting the settings out at the moment? 
(and there doesn't need to be more OUs - security group filtering may suffice)

Cheers
Ken

Thanks for the response Ken

a) Im working in an environment that uses a linux proxy of sorts and is fixed 
on using gpo to publish the proxy settings
b) the way the OU structure is setup it splits users and computers into 
separate OU's. Even if i could add an additional sub OU to the users OU these 
people still have workstations so the policy would apply to them as well in 
that case, hence it has to be workstation based.

I have tried to use HKU proxy settings and i have had no real joy with that 
either.

as the machine is in shutdown mode when the script runs the reg cannot be 
written to. any ideas on a different way of doing this? You can schedule tasks 
at startup and logon but not at shutdown or logoff.


Situation presents itself as follows:

Users who carry laptops get proxy settings assigned via gpo. When the users 
logoff and go home they logon to a cached copy of their profile. Hence we need 
a script to kill their IE proxy settings at shutdown.

So what i have done is create the script which toggle the proxy enable regkey, 
add it to a shutdown script gpo for the OU the laptops all reside in and whacko.

Running the script manually works a treat however running the script 
automatically at shutdown doesn't. If i turn on 'show shutdown scripts as

photo it but i need to blow it up more than the phone will allow.

A few things:
wpad cannot be used
i can created a proxy.pac file which i could push to with gp however this is a 
per user setting not a workstation setting which is what i require. laptop 
users also do have pc's which they work from so we cant apply this policy on a

nothing of any sort in the event logs

RE: HP AiO 1200 storage system

[Mike Semon]

My experience with iSCSI SAN's are they are great in the right environment.
For low to medium transaction environments with a moderate amount of data,
they perform well and save considerable amount of money compared to a full
Fibre Channel SAN. Plus you can use existing infrastructure without having
to buy Fibre switches and HBA's. I have always used SCSI drives. I Have been
leary about using SATA drives in production, however, some folks say they
work just fine. The HP MSA 1510 has worked fine for me. I think it comes
with on 2TB shelf and you can add additional shelves to that. The software
iSCSI initiator worked fine. If you want to boot from SAN for something you
can get the hardware initiator.

RE: What do you use for 3rd party software updates

[Carl Houseman]

Secunia NSI 2.0 is supposed to go for 20 euro's per seat per when in final
release in about 2 weeks, or about $32.

Netchk Protect 6.0 is priced at $5,200 per 100 workstations, or $52/seat.

Maybe the Shavlik audit-only solution is competitively priced vs. NSI, I
would expect so, but its pricing isn't on their website so I can't consider
it.

Really?  I talked with Secunia as well and the pricing I got was 4 times
more than the full blown Shavlik Patch product - and NSI doesn't have
deployment capabilities.

Is there a way to add users from a trusted domain to a group via ldap calls

[Ski Kacoroski]

Hi,

I am writing an application that automatically populates our AD with
accounts and groups from the student records and HR systems.  I can
create users and groups and add users to groups if they are in the same
domain, but have not yet figured out how to do it if the group is in
domain A and the user in domain B and there is a two way trust between
domains A & B.  From the GUI it is easy and I see that an entry gets
created in cn=foreignsecurityprincipals.  However when I try to create
this entry from via ldap calls I get a "will not perform" error and if
I just try to add the SID of the user to the group I get a "no object"
error.

Thanks for your advice.

cheers,

ski

Correct me if I am wrong. Your DHCP scopes should be setup to handout IP
addresses on each Vlan so clients should only get IP addresses from the
Vlan
they are a part of. When you configure the switch port for your client
your
are also configuring the Vlan info for that port.  Your trunk port on
the
Cisco switches will just handle The Vlan traffic between switches.
Assuming
you are using 802.1Q. Management and intercommunication of your Vlans
depends on whether you are using layer 2 or layer 3 switches.

I may be off here, but to have a pc on more than one vlan, it's going to
have to have some special software.  I've got one machine set up that
way with an Intel nic and it basically sets up a virtual lan interface
for each vlan that the PC can see.
I had to install some intel software to do this.
You also have to set the switch port up as a trunk in Cisco lingo.
With that done, each virtual interface can have either a static or dhcp
assigned IP address, but it will have to have an IP.
The only other way I know of getting from one vlan to another is via a
route.
If I am totally off base here someone please enlighten me as how this
could be set up.

Sorry, they are on the default network needing to authenticate to AD,
file shares etc, but also need access to the 2nd VLAN where DHCP is also
running.  Me thinks when I tag their switch port for the 2nd VLAN that
the PC could pull DHCP from the other network as well instead of just
pulling from the main DHCP server.  I want to prevent it from pulling an
IP address on the 2nd VLAN DHCP server.
Does that make more sense?  Running on a few hours and coffee stopped

It's a little Vague that you say that they need to connect to the VLAN

from there 

Set up IP helper on the VLAN to point to your default DHCP server (get
address from DHCP Server X via regular way or Reservation), it wouldn't
ask for the IP address again from the 2nd VLAN, if you are trying to
talk to it over the network.

Subject: VLANS and DHCP

How do you guys handle this.  We have multiple VLANS for various depts.
that are specialized.  There are a half dozen computers that have to
belong to both our default VLAN that DHCP, DNS, etc for the general
network are on, but also these machines need to connect to a VLAN that
is running a 2nd DHCP server.  The VLAN has a non MS DHCP server running
for each VLAN, but how do I prevent these XP workstations from grabbing
an IP on the VLAN and only getting it from the main DHCP server?

The server is a 2003 SP2 DHCP also running AD on the same box.

Thanks

RE: HP AiO 1200 storage system

[Joseph L. Casale]

Yea,
If you buy a 750 gig SATA drive from HP, its not a robust good drive, its a 
standard POS el-cheapo that's only worth 150.00 but sold for 600.00. I bought 
empty trays online, and went to a local store to buy some Seagate's. Its setup 
with redundancy, so who cares. If it was mission critical, I would use SAS and 
something enterprisable but I don't think it is or you wouldn't look at an aio.

I can assure you although the iSCSI support in the aio might be bad, IET's 
performance is incredibly good.

I probably wouldn't buy one of those aio's personally, they seem expensive for 
what you get. That 1200 looks like it was a DL320s, heh, what a con:)

RE: SBS Companyweb site adjustments

CompanyWeb is esentally just a sharepoint Website.  If it can be done in

what you need to do you'll need to publish the folder to Sharepoint.  Don't
ask me how.  Never bothered to learn it much.

While I don't agree with the choice of D-Link switches - they're cheap
for a reason and you get what you pay for; the same goes for Linksys and
Netgear - yes I am a snob when it comes to these things - I completely
agree with the sentiment of sticking with 100Mbit from a bandwidth point
of view.

Every single VoIP codec I've seen is rated in terms of *kilobit* per
second - 56kilobit, 64kilobit, etc. Your VoIP server could have a
100Mbit uplink to your network and *never* max it out, even with 100
VoIP phones.

Will you need new switches? That is very likely. VoIP may not use a lot
of bandwidth, but it *does* have a high PPS (packet per second) rate
when compared to traditional LAN applications, and will overwhelm older
switches.

WRT switches: The top 3 switch vendors in the US are Cisco, HP and 3com
for very good reasons. Cisco is *very* good, but new equipment is
obscenely expensive to the point where you can buy an HP and a cold
spare for the price of 1 Cisco.

Shutdown script

[Greg Mulholland]

Having an issue with the below scenario and i think i need to come at it from a 
different angle but need some more eyes/brains. I think the issue is to do with 
as the machine is in shutdown mode when the script runs the reg cannot be 
written to. any ideas on a different way of doing this? You can schedule tasks 
at startup and logon but not at shutdown or logoff.


Situation presents itself as follows:

Users who carry laptops get proxy settings assigned via gpo. When the users 
logoff and go home they logon to a cached copy of their profile. Hence we need 
a script to kill their IE proxy settings at shutdown.

So what i have done is create the script which toggle the proxy enable regkey, 
add it to a shutdown script gpo for the OU the laptops all reside in and whacko.

Running the script manually works a treat however running the script 
automatically at shutdown doesn't. If i turn on 'show shutdown scripts as 
visible" in gp a dialog box pops up which my eyes cant read. I have tried to 
photo it but i need to blow it up more than the phone will allow.

A few things:
wpad cannot be used
i can created a proxy.pac file which i could push to with gp however this is a 
per user setting not a workstation setting which is what i require. laptop 
users also do have pc's which they work from so we cant apply this policy on a 
user base
nothing of any sort in the event logs
there is a requirement that this process be totally transparent to the user
user access level has no bearing on the outcome.
OU structure doesnt allow for a user/logoff script instead of shutdown
local profiles on the laptop cannot be used on the laptop at home, must be 
cached domain profile

Thanks

RE: VLANS and DHCP

[Mike Semon]

Correct me if I am wrong. Your DHCP scopes should be setup to handout IP
addresses on each Vlan so clients should only get IP addresses from the Vlan
they are a part of. When you configure the switch port for your client your
are also configuring the Vlan info for that port.  Your trunk port on the
Cisco switches will just handle The Vlan traffic between switches. Assuming
you are using 802.1Q. Management and intercommunication of your Vlans
depends on whether you are using layer 2 or layer 3 switches.

Interfacing Cisco and HP switches

[Kurt Buff]

All,

Given the recent discussion on switches, especially HP and Cisco, I
thought I'd ask here. Any pointers would be appreciated.

I've just received my shiny new HP 3400cl, which is replacing my Cisco
2948G-L3. I haven't had time to config it, so handed it off to a local
firm to config for me, along with a 24-port version of the 2950Ts that
I'm using.

They have used to opportunity to learn about HP switches, at my
expense - apparently the guy they had on staff that knew this stuff
left just as I was going to hand it over, so they had a couple of
newbs configuring it. But, they can't seem to get it going correctly,
even after several days of trying.

I have them back in my hands, but am still buried, preparing to go on
vacation on Monday. I've got what I consider to be a pretty simple,
straightforward arrangement currently - 9 VLANs (the native VLAN
(unused), the management VLAN, one for each of 3 floors, one for
servers, one for wireless, one for IT, one for the firewall(s) and
related equipment), and some static routes to point across our IPSec
tunnels, and to an internal router I've set up - but the best
configuration they've come up with so far allows only partial
connectivity between the various subnets.

Can anyone point me to decent docs on getting these things to talk
with each other? I'd like to hit the ground running when I get back
from vacation, and be ready to implement.

Kurt

RE: GB switches

HP switches for the most part here. All are good, no problems.

All HP servers here, one Dell, no problems with either other than one
hard drive failed recently after 4 years.

Really?  I talked with Secunia as well and the pricing I got was 4 times
more than the full blown Shavlik Patch product - and NSI doesn't have

We have gone the similar less-expensive route, at least in our RI office 
where I am. Panasonic VoIP system with Dell PowerConnect 3424P and 3448P 
switches for the phones (PoE) and everything else is GigE (PowerConnect 
6424, 6448, 5324, etc...).

We use polycom phones with asterisk systems for several clients.  You did 
not mention whether you were looking at POE switches or not.  POE makes 
the phone roll out much easier.

For what it's worth, we rarely use a cisco switch and have yet felt the 
need to use it for VoIP.  We go cheap and use d-link 10/100 POE switches. 
We only support small and medium size business.  The most complex switch 
configs we uaually need are setting up three or four vlans.  We generally 
only have gigabit (and typically cicso) switches for server connections in

The codecs we use for voice seem perfectly capable of traveling over a

RE: What do you use for 3rd party software updates

[Carl Houseman]

I don't think budgets allow for SMS/SCCM much less the deployment/planning
time for putting existing machines under management by those tools.  The
solution I'm looking for has to be able to scan machines that just appear on
the network and have never been managed.

 

Secunia's Network Software Inspector looks like a reasonable paid
alternative for auditing a network, Shavlik also has an audit-only version
but no online pricing for it.  At this point auditing is all that's been
requested, and I extended that request into my "what can be done that is
WSUS-like" question.

 

Thanks for all the responses so far - I think I know the paid alternatives
now.  If there's anything good for free, I'm still listening.

For what it's worth, we rarely use a cisco switch and have yet felt the need to

support small and medium size business.  The most complex switch configs we 
uaually need are setting up three or four vlans.  We generally only have 
gigabit (and typically cicso) switches for server connections in the rack and 
high traffic users like video editors.

The codecs we use for voice seem perfectly capable of traveling over a 100mb 
connection.

At the desk, we plug the phone to the wall jack and plug the PC/laptop to the 
Polycom.

RE: VLANS and DHCP

[gsweers]

Sorry, they are on the default network needing to authenticate to AD,
file shares etc, but also need access to the 2nd VLAN where DHCP is also
running.  Me thinks when I tag their switch port for the 2nd VLAN that
the PC could pull DHCP from the other network as well instead of just
pulling from the main DHCP server.  I want to prevent it from pulling an
IP address on the 2nd VLAN DHCP server.
Does that make more sense?  Running on a few hours and coffee stopped
having an impact sometime at 3am..

It's a little Vague that you say that they need to connect to the VLAN
that is running a 2nd DHCP server, but don't want them to get an address
from there 

Set up IP helper on the VLAN to point to your default DHCP server (get
address from DHCP Server X via regular way or Reservation), it wouldn't
ask for the IP address again from the 2nd VLAN, if you are trying to
talk to it over the network.

How do you guys handle this.  We have multiple VLANS for various depts.
that are specialized.  There are a half dozen computers that have to
belong to both our default VLAN that DHCP, DNS, etc for the general
network are on, but also these machines need to connect to a VLAN that
is running a 2nd DHCP server.  The VLAN has a non MS DHCP server running
for each VLAN, but how do I prevent these XP workstations from grabbing
an IP on the VLAN and only getting it from the main DHCP server?

The server is a 2003 SP2 DHCP also running AD on the same box.

Yeah yeah I am still dealing with the V5.91. No time and I don't like
the way they doing Agents yet. I am waiting for V6.1 before moving,
probably this summer. 

When you are trying to plan a re-deployment with Agents for 6000-7000
PC's and make it work with our HIDS, and other systems, its not a
trivial matter just to upgrade to V6.X and go.

Awww...Z, you haven't taken the plunge and upgraded to 6 yet?

Biggest problem with 6 I've encountered is that periodically when new
patches are available for download, it will show them as missing on the
scan
but it won't download them before deployment unless you refresh the XML
files and restart the app manually. PITA...

Still though, it REALLY beats having to manually patch all those 3rd

apps!

RE: VLANS and DHCP

[Ziots, Edward]

It's a little Vague that you say that they need to connect to the VLAN
that is running a 2nd DHCP server, but don't want them to get an address
from there 

Set up IP helper on the VLAN to point to your default DHCP server (get
address from DHCP Server X via regular way or Reservation), it wouldn't
ask for the IP address again from the 2nd VLAN, if you are trying to
talk to it over the network.

How do you guys handle this.  We have multiple VLANS for various depts.
that are specialized.  There are a half dozen computers that have to
belong to both our default VLAN that DHCP, DNS, etc for the general
network are on, but also these machines need to connect to a VLAN that
is running a 2nd DHCP server.  The VLAN has a non MS DHCP server running
for each VLAN, but how do I prevent these XP workstations from grabbing
an IP on the VLAN and only getting it from the main DHCP server?

The server is a 2003 SP2 DHCP also running AD on the same box.

Awww...Z, you haven't taken the plunge and upgraded to 6 yet?

Biggest problem with 6 I've encountered is that periodically when new
patches are available for download, it will show them as missing on the scan
but it won't download them before deployment unless you refresh the XML
files and restart the app manually. PITA...

Still though, it REALLY beats having to manually patch all those 3rd party
apps!

I know some of you push Flash player, Adobe reader, etc. updates out through
Group Policy.   How do you track whether machines were successful at
installing the updated software, and/or identify machines that are at risk
with older versions?

It seems every 3rd party program is bundling a auto-updater application and
sooner or later you don't want every client machine pulling those updates
from the Internet.  For example, Oracle Applications qualifieds a certain
version of JRE, and like it or not, a site might want to delay installing
the latest JRE, or maybe test it before allowing clients to install it. 
Would we not prefer WSUS-like solution that can report and confirm that
machines have been updated?   Does such a vendor-independent thing exist
yet?

I mean, just about the time Microsoft comes along with a NAC server and NAC
client (which I assume only verify software update status of MS products),
the battle has moved to the 3rd party products.

I am in the midst of putting a SQL 2005 Design documentation for my

information, and was wondering if anyone out there has done this before
or would like to be a collaborator. I can forsee quite the number of SQL
instances going up in the near future and need to get this type of
documentation straight before it gets out of control.

RE: HP AiO 1200 storage system

[Miguel Gonzalez]

I had a very bad experience with its minor brother aio
600. We lost valuable data and HP left a very bad name
in terms of support and at the end although they made
it up and send a guy to look at it they don't know
what the h*** happened to the machine.

I don't know where to start with so I will make this
story short - buy SAS not SATA and get the best disk
cache you can.

I hope you are not thinking of using iSCSI, the
performance is very low...and you have to purchase an
extra license

RE: HP AiO 1200 storage system

[Joseph L. Casale]

Hrm,
Are you very price sensitive? I just bought a DL320s for ~$2800.00 CAN and have 
been using Enterprise iSCSI Target under CentOS for a while under Windows 
Server's and ESX servers with very good uptime (Perfect actually). I also use 
it for D2D backups as well and I just ebayed the trays and use standard drives 
(super cheap) with good redundancy...

You might consider that...

GB switches

[RichardMcClary]

Perhaps a wee bit OT, and I know there are some of you who sell and 
service Cisco.  However...

Currently most of our network is on fast ethernet.  (We have a couple of 
racks, each of which has a small GB switch to tie the servers in that rack 
together.)

We are soon to dump our NEC PBX and go with VOIP.  (It will _not_ be Cisco 
or Avaya VOIP.)  We need more robust switches...

Currently, we have about 100 desks, each with an XP Pro PC and a phone. We 
will be going with VOIP phones (Polycom) rather than "soft phones".

NOW, although we have some of their products and appreciate them, none of 
us are "Cisco people", either by devotion or in knowing how to manage 
them.  We have some folks recommending Cisco GB switches.  We have another 
group recommending (highly, and some of them are our equivalent in the NYC 
office) Extreme Networks BlackDiamond switches.

Does anyone "out there" have enough experience with the products of both 
companies to be able to tell us the advantages of each?  For example, 
might the Extremes be easier for a non-certified user to do port 
management?  Anyone come across any tests as far as reliablility (both for 
HW failure and for dropped packets), etc?

Thanks!

RE: VMware Workstation 6

[Barsodi.John]

I just tried to telnet to 70.232.34.177(which Websterlabs.com resolves to) on 
port 443.  Connection failed.

Since you said that it works fine on the internal network, do you have any 
logging that is enabled or that you can turn up on the Zoom X5 5654?

Via my employer's VPN so it is outside the 192.168 network.  I also had a

Have you tried to access via IP instead of the name resolution provided by

Also, when you try to access is this from the outside or the same 192.168.1.xxx

Everything is setup in Bridged mode.

I have a GoDaddy wildcard SSL cert installed on the Secure Gateway/Web

from the Host OS and from any PC on my home network.

Bought a testing domain name (WebstersLab.com, or as TVK will no doubt find -

Ken,
I think I arrived at that last night, but I simply disabled the virtual NIC 
created when I made an "External Network" with a physical NIC. How secure is 
that isolation as far as you're concerned? Would that make a safe setup for an 
ISA firewall for example with two NICs, an internal and external internet

I don't do it with Exchange, but I backup about 300G worth of Notes

Recover a SQL2000 user's password?

[Michael . Leone]

So we use LANDesk here, configured so that we have a core server, and a 
separate (SQL2000) database server. Now, I need to upgrade *just* the 
database server to SQL2005.  I have a forum post that tells me how to do 
that (surprisingly easy, if it works ...). However, what I need to do is 
have the same SQL user defined on the new database server. The user is 
just a SQL user (i.e., the "Logins" list it just as "LD", not "domain\LD".

And, of course, no one can find the documentation for what that password 
is. 

So what I need is some way to find that password, if I can, and it when 
creating the new user on the new SQL2005 server, so that when LANDesk goes 
to access it using it's current credentials, it should Just Work. I 
realize I could change the current password in SQL (and in LANDesk 
svccfg), but I don't want to take a chance on breaking the currently 
working system. If it doesn't work after I point LANDesk at it's new db 
server, I can just re-point back at the old server, without having to mess 
with any other settings.

SO ... has anybody done something similar (i.e., upgrade *just* a LANDesk 
database server to a new version)? Or know of some way to either recover 
the SQL user's password, or - failing that - perhaps port all the current 
SQL2000 users and passwords to the new SQL2005 server?

(as you can tell, I know very little about SQL. Outside of backing 
up/restoring databases, and creating users, I start to get confused )

Thanks

RE: SQL 2005 AdventureWorks

[gsweers]

If you don't know if the SQL DB is doing anything important, I highly
suggest you stop the service first and see what breaks.  Don't just
remove it.

You can also open SQL Studio Manager and look at what DB/instances are
running on the server to help determine what its doing.  

SQL 2005 is the last CD in the install separate from a fully operations
SBS Server setup.  On the same CD is ISA 2004 and SQL 2005.

All of my other instances of SQL on this server (Sharepoint, Wsus, Msfw)

I don't recall installing the SQL 2005 Workgroup version but the time

Any idea why it's there (did it piggy back with some other system

on the host if you just want your guests to have access to the physical NIC

Internal – host and guests and communicate with each other

Local (or whatever the last option is) – guests can communicate with each other 
only

Subject: RE: Hyper-v Networking


Just thought I would clarify that :)

I have a test box with two physical nics, I was hoping to setup a switch off 
one NIC that both the host and guests connect to. So I created an External 
Network, I suppose the Nic that gets created from this is the virtual nic now 
plugged into the new switch, and the physical nic I choose is also plugged into 
it.



Reading 
http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2008/01/08/understanding-networking-with-hyper-v.aspx
 I am baffled as how to create a new switch with the second Nic and plug the 
physical nic into it without creating an additional virtual nic that the host 
or vm on that port group sees?



Basically, I will then build a vm with two nics, one in the first port group 
(it should see the host and have access to the physical switch that the 
physical nic I choose for that virtual network is plugged into. The second nic 
would plug into the second port group and have access to the physical switch 
that the physical nic I choose for that second virtual network is plugged into. 
Problem is either I break connectivity for my host, or create a virtual nic 
that wants an IP...



Any input would be appreciated!

Re: USB usage protocols

[Phillip Partipilo]

A while ago I recall a method to control  this via an .adm that disables 
the usb mass storage service.  It's not an official policy, so setting 
it back to "not configured" doesn't re-enable the service, so its a bit 
of a hack, but easy way to manage it via gpo (and for free).  If 
interested I can paste the contents of the adm  into an email or 
whatever once I get into the office.

Haven't used it, but their Network Administrator product ($200/admin) 
can control access to USB ports.

CRM4 and IT companies

[Oliver Marshall]

Hi chaps,

 

We just got CRM4 in the post and I was wondering whether anyone has
tried to set it up to recreate an IT company environment, so to create a
ticketing system showing tickets received from Companies and being able
to see tickets as well as sales info for a Company object.

 

I got fairly close when CRM3 came out to my nirvana, but frankly gave us
with the incoming email feature.

SBS Companyweb site adjustments

[Oliver Marshall]

Not sure if this is the place to ask but does anyone know if there is an
easy way to modify the SBS 2003 R1 Companyweb website so that I can
display the contents of a folder there and allow remote people to upload
files to it as well as download files from it ?

RE: Backup Miracle

[Osama Salah]

do you have lots of small files to backup? That usually causes a slow
backup.
When monitoring your backups split them and see if a certain type of
backup is slow. Maybe only exchange backup is very slow and file backup
is OK etc. 
How fast can you robocopy files to your USB drive?

Subject: Backup Miracle



I think I've been tasked with making something near impossible happen,
so I'm going to start by asking the question here then start my
google-fu.  My boss has just asked for a backup solution that will do
the following:

 

Complete a full backup of SBS 2003 server.

There is currently nearly 300 GB of data on this server.

Wants Exchange included (Currently about 30 GB in size)

Wants a system state

Wants it verified.

Must be complete in 10 Hours!

 

The current backup system is taking about 24 hours to do this not
including the verify, and I think there may be an I/O problem as it is
NTBACKUP with BackupAssist v.4.0.16 backing up to a USB 2.0 drive.
Unless my math is off, this backup should only take about 5 hours,
assuming the transfer occurs at about 20 Mbps.  Unfortunately there is
some sort of bottleneck that is throttling this back to about 4.

 

What am I missing that would help me fix this problem?

What's the best utility to use to export all Active Directory Groups and
their membership?   I know how to do it by doing each group separately,
but I'd like a way to do all groups at one time.  Any help will be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Terri

RE: Waiting for a bus, wondering about...

Um - there are a couple of solutions for the first problem, or use Windows

SMS 2003/SCCM 2007 does the second

I don't know the answers to the third and fourth, but I strongly suspect that 
Google knows.

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend (and give a thumbs up) a solution which provide multiple 
password complexity policies ?
Can anyone recommend (and give a thumbs up) a license metering app.
Can anyone point me in the direction of someway to deploy mailbox rules 
(Exchange 2003/Outlook 2003) ?
Can anyone point me in the direction of someway to deploy signatures (Exchange 
2003/Outlook 2003) ?

Sorry for the brevity, I'm typing on the run.
